Requirements · Overview

Requirements are the point of the whole journey — a customer who's signed up is worth nothing until they submit a brief onto the marketplace. This page is about quality and volume: are people getting through the builder, and is what lands worth a partner's while. This week the build is leaking: 40 customers started a requirement but only 20 submitted — 50% completion, down from 69% in April — and the median build now takes 3.6 days. The briefs that do land are getting bigger (£4,400 average value, 18 connections), and the product mix is a demand signal worth mining for SEO. How much lands, then the shape of it, then what to worry about. Whether it then pays back is Market.

What to be most concerned about

The briefs are good and getting bigger; the problem is half of builds never finish — the pipeline first.
