Where Low Virality Meets Low Scalability
This page narrows in on ideas that combine Low Virality with Low Scalability. Built-in virality is the cheapest growth channel there is — every paid acquisition strategy eventually competes with it on cost. It's the metric most correlated with "could this become a real, fundable company" versus "this is a solid lifestyle business" — neither is wrong, but they're different goals. Together, that combination points to a specific kind of opportunity worth evaluating on its own terms.
