How to read this

🟢 Build it — a usable personal version in one sitting, no real moat in the way. 🟡 Kinda — buildable in a weekend, but real gaps remain. 🔴 Not really — the value is the network, the data, or the infrastructure, and no prompt conjures that. The prompts are starting points: paste one into Claude Code, then steer. New to this? Start with the roadmap.
