Questions
Is this real demand data?
No. It is a transparent heuristic over the words and choices you give it. Confirm demand with a marketplace search and by listing a small test batch.
What makes a strong print-on-demand niche?
A specific angle, a strong identity (a job, a pet, a hobby, a role), a clear gift buyer, steady year-round demand and a field you can rank in.
Why can a good score drop because of IP risk?
Selling a protected brand or slogan can get listings removed and accounts closed, so a high-risk phrase caps the score. Run the slogan through the trademark risk checker.
Do you store my idea?
No. It is scored for this request only and is not saved.
