ShipScore = the CENTS composite. C = control vs gatekeepers · E = barriers (high is good) · N = proven demand · T = income detached from hours · S = reach

At $19/mo (assumed category price), you need 4,386 subscribers for a $1M/yr pace.

Nearest tracked rivals on that curve:

• JustWatch — Owns the canonical where-to-watch dataset and already monetizes it; you'd be reselling their data.
• TMDb watch-provider API — Free provider data everyone can wire up in a weekend, killing any differentiation.
• MarkupX Brands / EarlySEO ($100k MRR) — Radar-tracked SEO/content monetization player with distribution and budget to bolt on a link feature.

• Zero Reddit demand signals found for these keywords — no visible complaint volume or pull.
• No funded companies tracked in/near this space, which reads as low investor conviction, not open field.
• Radar's three 'similar' products (MarkupX $100k, Distribb $20k, WriteStack $11k) are general SEO/content tools, not streaming-link monetization — evidence is adjacent, not on-target.
• Market knowledge cuts against it: Netflix shut its affiliate program; streaming affiliate payouts are mostly limited to Amazon/Apple rentals with thin commissions.

• Underlying unit economics: creators can't earn enough from streaming affiliate links to justify a subscription.
• Data dependency — JustWatch/TMDb terms restrict commercial redistribution, and licensing is expensive.
• Feature-not-product: WordPress/Ghost plugins or existing SEO tools can absorb this in a sprint.
• Affiliate networks reserve the right to ban aggregators and automated link injection at will.

• TMDb / JustWatch API terms — A clause change or rate-limit against commercial affiliate use removes your only data source overnight.
• Amazon Associates / Apple Services Performance Partners policy — Account termination or commission cuts erase the revenue your customers pay you to capture.
• Google Search algorithm — Entertainment bloggers are your only buyer segment; a core update gutting their traffic gutts your churn.

• Can't verify actual per-click earnings of streaming affiliate programs by region or provider.
• Can't tell whether any entertainment publisher currently pays for link-automation tooling.
• No visibility into JustWatch/TMDb commercial licensing pricing or willingness to license at all.

Scores judge the market and business model — not your ability to execute. Verified MRR = independently tracked revenue; reviews/upvotes = platform-reported. Judged 2026-08-02.

Skip the SaaS; run it as a revenue-share widget for existing high-traffic entertainment publishers where you own the affiliate accounts.

Cheapest next step: Read TMDb/JustWatch commercial terms today, then email 10 entertainment bloggers asking what they currently earn monthly from streaming links.

Business-model variations of this idea, engineered to beat 4.0 — different vertical, audience, model, or wedge. Same harsh scale.
