# Problem Atlas

> AI-powered platform that discovers, scores, and analyzes real market problems from 17+ global sources — connecting builders with investors.

## What We Do

Problem Atlas continuously monitors Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, GitHub Issues, App Store, Google Play, ProductHunt, G2, Capterra, CFPB Complaints, Upwork, and Indie Hackers to surface validated user pain points. Each problem is scored across 8 dimensions and assigned a structural Leverage Score. High-leverage problems receive deep analysis with root causes, cross-domain patterns, and actionable solution blueprints.

## Problem Scoring

Every problem is evaluated on 8 dimensions (each 1-10):
- **Frequency**: How often the problem occurs
- **Intensity**: How painful the problem is when it occurs
- **Market Size**: How many people/businesses are affected
- **Feasibility**: How realistic a software solution is
- **Urgency**: How time-sensitive the problem is
- **Willingness to Pay**: How likely users would pay for a solution
- **Competition**: How much opportunity exists (10 = wide open)
- **Trend Momentum**: Whether the problem is growing or shrinking

A composite **Signal Score** (1-10) measures overall visibility. A separate **Leverage Score** (1-10) evaluates structural depth — problems where a solution would have outsized impact.

## Domains

Problems are classified into 8 domains:
- Developer Tools
- Business Operations
- Marketing & Growth
- Productivity
- Customer Experience
- Industry Vertical
- Security & Compliance
- Data Infrastructure
