How founders should use this

  • Use the report pages to see how complaint language changes by market instead of treating every frustration as universal demand.
  • Use the category pages to compare whether a problem is really about onboarding, pricing, trust, support, reporting, or workflow automation.
  • Use the trend views to see when complaints are becoming switching behavior or exposing a clear competitor weakness.
