growers, food hubs, schools, integrators, entrepreneurs
Pain
China hardware is cheap but hard to evaluate for certification, quality, freight, spares, and local code fit
Product wedge
supplier database + RFQ templates + red flags + reference BOMs
Prototype in 1–2 weeks
build searchable Airtable/static catalog with 50 suppliers and scoring
Sean-fit score
5/5 — favors automation, software, sourcing, systems, and low direct perishables ops.
Risks / why it might suck
may be info product not big business; liability if recommendations fail
Kill criteria
