- •Clear monetization with $199/mo + $499 setup
- warningPeloton may change their API terms, pricing, or access rules, impacting the viability of the integration. A shift in Peloton's strategy could disrupt the core value proposition and revenue model overnight

- •Finished #1 with final score 73
- •Boutique Studio Peloton Bridge offers a more focused solution for a specific customer segment (independent yoga studios) with a clearer integration path into the Peloton API. It also demonstrates stronger internal coherence and better testability of its assumptions. While both candidates face challenges with pricing claims, the Boutique Studio Peloton Bridge has stronger evidence quality and fewer critical red flags, making it more viable for a pre-seed team with limited resources.

- •Finished #2 with final score 71
- •Interval Coach Pro is a compelling idea for cycling instructors, but it lacks the same level of evidence quality and testability as the winning candidate. The adoption path and go-to-market strategy are less concrete, and the pricing model is not well supported by evidence. These weaknesses make it a less viable option for a team with limited funding and a need for immediate execution.
