Build-gate: top-3 Google results must have a defect

Build tool only when top-3 Google results have real defect

Gate for “should we build this tool”: Google the problem, examine top-3 results. Build only if all three have a real defect — paywall, signup wall, ads-laden UI, broken UX, or a missing feature the user needs. Each tool’s README opens with the specific defect (e.g., “smallpdf.com gates at 2 files/day; we don’t”). Locked 2026-06-25.
