How steep the learning curve is for an intelligent beginner.
How many people already want this solution.

How naturally the model produces repeat revenue.
How much AI can reduce labor and increase output.
How easily the owner can step back from daily operations.
Whether someone would buy this business later.

Reversed — lower score means lower risk. What could go wrong.
