Why this score

Demand is proven and the market grows in the low-to-mid teens, which is attractive, but the space is crowded with well-funded incumbents (SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Qualtrics) and free tools, compressing pricing and raising the bar for a solo builder. The realistic path is a focused wedge (a niche vertical or a specific workflow) rather than a general-purpose survey tool, which is why this lands mid-tier rather than high.
