Reddit pain scout with a 100-point score and a critic
Product ideas start from vibes instead of repeating paid pain.
What hurt
Chase (@0xChaseTM) runs Grok Bot as an always-on Reddit product scout. It clusters complaints, opens an opportunity record, and scores evidence out of 100 (pain/frequency up to 40, workarounds/spend up to 30, rest from who/alternatives/buildability). Bands: <60 ignore, 60–74 watch, 75–84 critic, 85+ alert. At 75+ a critic agent tries to break the case. Author-quoted method.
What to install or create
Scout clusters Reddit complaints. Score with his rubric. Critic only after 75. Founder sees survivors only.

The prompt
Author-quoted score bands
Chase posted this rubric in the cited tweet. Copied as published.
Repeated pain + frequency = up to 40 points Workarounds + existing spend = another 30 The remaining score comes from who has the problem, what alternatives already exist, and how realistic the product is to build. <60 ignore → 60-74 watch → 75-84 critic → 85+ alert At 75+, another agent takes the opposite side and tries to break the case by checking competition, recurrence, buyers and willingness to pay. Only the problems that survive both the market evidence and the critic get pushed toward the founder.

What to tweak
Steal the score bands and critic gate. Do not invent a full system prompt beyond his rubric.
