12. Method and next steps

Method and limitations

Sampling is not exhaustive: Reddit used 15 subreddits (top-month + hot, 50 posts each); long-tail low-quality posts in /new were not covered. X was search-sampled: six question-pattern queries, biased toward high-engagement English posts; Chinese questions are rare. "Real question" detection is heuristic: question words, Question/Help flair or a question mark in the first half; meme posts, titles under 12 characters and political content were removed, but rhetorical questions may remain. Deduplication is bag-of-words approximate: paraphrases were not semantically merged, so some of the 100 may be variants. Engagement ≠ prevalence: ranking used comments×2 + upvotes, which reflects resonance; actual question frequency needs search data. Vote fuzzing: Reddit fuzzes public scores slightly; treat numbers as magnitude. X views are approximate. No second-pass verification: data came from agent-reach structured output (Reddit=rdt-cli JSON, X=opencli YAML), not re-checked against every original page.

Next steps

1. Deepen semantic clustering: Cluster the large domains (agents, images) into sub-pains and produce a three-layer table: question → sub-pain → content angle.
2. Map GEO opportunities: Use search engines to find which questions still lack good Chinese answers (content/GEO entry points).
3. Target product lines: Filter relevant questions for 100mini / Bento Resume / PAW&CLAW and turn them into opportunity notes.
