Indie SaaS competitor teardowns

Desk Brief

Decision memos for bootstrapped founders asking “fight X or niche down?”

One clear question. One tight memo. Sources included.

The problem

You need a competitive teardown before you commit time or budget — fight the incumbent, or niche down. You do not need another 40-page deck, a vague “insights” call, or a week of half-finished tabs.

Most teams either guess, or bury themselves in research that never becomes a decision.
