Founder bets on AI directories

Short summary

Founder argues AI-curated directories outcompete Google AI Overviews by offering fine-grained attribute filtering, structured editorial negatives, and real-time maintenance tracking that generative summaries can't provide. Testing falsifiable hypothesis: at least 200 monthly organic clicks by October 2026, verified in Search Console. With $25/month infrastructure costs (Vercel, Turso, Claude API), sustainable for long-term experimentation without immediate revenue.

• •Directories win on structured filtering, editorial negatives, and real-time maintenance signals that LLMs lack
• •Testing falsifiable metric: 200+ monthly organic clicks by October 2026 via Search Console
• •Sustainable at $25/month infrastructure—no pressure to rationalize flat signals prematurely
