04The opportunity
Attribution and analytics tooling like Cometly proves teams will pay real money ($2,084/mo referenced) to understand where results come from. But Cometly is a broad platform trying to serve many buyers at once. The problem: specific analytics teams get generic dashboards that require heavy setup, custom event mapping, and onboarding calls before they see value. The named product here, call it WedgeMetrics, targets one specific segment of analytics teams that Cometly underserves and wins on a tighter feature set plus faster time to first insight. The solution is opinionated: pre-built connectors and templates for that one segment, so a team connects a source and sees a working attribution or analytics view in minutes rather than after a multi-day configuration slog. MVP is a single-source integration plus a fixed set of reports the target segment actually uses daily, priced as a flat monthly SaaS subscription. Revenue starts with direct self-serve signups at a mid-tier price point similar to Cometly's proven willingness to pay. GTM leans on communities already discussing engineer-first and team-first analytics tools (HN Show HN posts for Quary, Arctype, MinusX), through open build-in-public launches and content targeting the specific segment's pain. Growth loops come from shareable reports that carry a viewer-facing brand, template libraries the community contributes to, and onboarding that is fast enough that word of mouth within analytics teams does the selling.

Keyword demand is declining: analytics tools (vol 590, -45.8%), analytics software (vol 480, -33.9%), best analytics software (vol 70, -85.7%). This is a warning sign that broad search discovery is shrinking, so generic SEO on 'analytics software' will not carry acquisition. However, community signals point the other way: multiple recent HN launches of focused analytics products suggest demand is shifting toward specific, workflow-native tools rather than horizontal 'analytics software' searches. Distribution should lean on communities and segment-specific channels, not head keywords.
