- 📈 Growth: ⚠ last update 1654d ago — possibly dormant.
- ⚠️ Risk: Elevated — dormant (1654d since update).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $90K-$160K. Portfolio play ($9K/mo combined) commands premium.
