What to build

Live event producers build a run-of-show (ROS) in a spreadsheet or doc, then manually re-enter every cue duration into their stage timer software. When the ROS changes during rehearsal, which it always does, they retype durations twice and hope nothing drifts. Stagetimer Run-of-Show Builder is a drag-and-drop ROS editor that treats the show rundown as the source of truth and auto-syncs each cue's duration to Stagetimer displays. Producers reorder segments, adjust a keynote from 20 to 15 minutes, and the timer feed updates instantly with no re-entry. The MVP is a web app: build an ROS with segments, owners, and durations; a live sync bridge that pushes cue timers to Stagetimer via its API or as a companion display; and a shared read-only view for stage managers and speakers. Revenue is a straightforward per-seat or per-event SaaS subscription aimed at corporate AV producers, with a higher team tier for agencies running multiple shows. Go-to-market starts by targeting existing Stagetimer users directly, since they already feel the double-entry pain, plus corporate AV and event-production communities. Growth loops come from the shared ROS view: every speaker and crew member who receives a live rundown link sees the product in action during a high-stakes show, and stage managers carry the tool from client to client across the freelance-heavy event world.

Stagetimer

The two keyword signals tell a clear story: the generic events tools term is saturated and flat at 0 percent growth, while the specific run of show software term is growing at 150 percent from a smaller base of 70 searches. That pattern favors a narrow, purpose-built ROS product over a broad event-management suite. Low absolute volume means SEO alone will not carry acquisition, so direct outreach to Stagetimer's existing user base and event communities matters more than content volume in the near term.

Still unclaimed. Builders can claim an idea and own its build instruments outright.
