The Core Problem

Building Shopify apps without operator input is a hidden tax on growth.

The result? Features ship late. Messaging misses. GTM bets are placed on intuition instead of evidence.

app store research offers direct signals:

Recurring, not ad-hoc

Opt-in, not cold

Context-rich, not anonymous

Useful for both product and growth teams
