Why this matters in 2027

Standardizing around must-have vs nice-to-have scoring reduces that waste for startup operators. You still move fast—but through controlled cycles instead of permanent firefighting.

3. Ties weekly work to Post-Purchase Regret Signals.
4. Connects to the broader Buying Guides cluster so pages reinforce each other.
