Fractal Summary： 2024／5／9 I'm tired, so I want to organize the assumptions and verifications of the hypothesis

from Fractal Reader Development and Management Diary Fractal Summary: 2024/5/9 Organizing hypotheses to be verified due to feeling sluggish

• 
  • It seems like the decline in the number of repeat users has stopped (blu3mo)

Feeling increasingly sluggish

• The lack of a clear direction seems to be the cause
• Even if I tweet the same thing on Japanese Twitter, I think only about 5% of the accumulated traffic will stick around
• I want to go through the cycle of “formulating hypotheses and verifying with minimal resources”

Premises (policy on resource allocation in my life)

• I don’t intend to invest my development resources heavily in this
  • I don’t particularly aspire to become a strong web engineer, so I don’t find the skills and experiences gained there very attractive
• I will use my resources for business creation and decision-making (blu3mo)
  • I find great value in the knowledge and insights based on firsthand experiences gained there
  • There is also a motivation in enjoying new experiences#living like a mist in the world
  • I already feel like I have gained a perspective and way of thinking unique to business creators that I couldn’t get from research or hobby development (blu3mo)
    • Like in 29 Customer Value and Delivery Method

Withdrawal criteria

• I don’t have a strong attachment to FractalReader itself
• I choose to continue because it seems like the best option among the cards I currently hold for carrying out I want to spend 10-20% of my time and prioritize the value for customers to create something once
• There isn’t much reason to continue if it’s not easy to commercialize

Hypotheses

• Achieve MMR$1000 with Fractal Summary without using too many development resources

  • I will withdraw if this is proven wrong
  • $5permonth\ast 200people,$10 per month * 100 people, $20permonth\ast 50people,$100 per month * 10 people, $1000 per month * 1 person

  • Assuming a toC, the goal seems achievable

    • The goal seems achievable with customers who read papers

      • I feel a bit of awkwardness
        • Summarizing papers requires high expertise, which demands the performance of LLM
        • Processing and delving into PDF papers is challenging
          • Especially with formulas
      • But about 20% of users use it that way

    • The goal seems achievable with customers who read internet articles

      • This seems more feasible
        • About 30-40% of users currently use it this way
      • There is an issue with Sharing Functionality Leads to Increased Awareness, but Seems to Conflict with Copyright
      • A straightforward approach like providing a website summarization function through a Chrome extension might be the most appropriate
        • Seems promising (tkgshn)

    • The goal seems achievable with customers who summarize meeting transcripts

      • This seems quite feasible
      • About 10-20% of users seem to use it this way
      • It could also work with chat logs
      • Since this usage might not be well recognized, I’ll tweet about it to see the response
      • I want to grasp more specifically the idea of “people who summarize meeting transcripts”
        • I’m running an online salon for educators, and we have regular Zoom meetings, so I plan to try it there (kawahiii)
          • I tried summarizing last week’s meeting video with Fractal Summary (kawahiii)
            • The transcription accuracy was not sufficient (this is a glasp issue), and it was a bit hard to read without visible material sharing (kawahiii)
              • It might be good to delve into what type of transcription works best (nishio)
                • In the case of Social Hack Day, we upload Zoom recordings to YouTube privately and use the transcript
            • Currently, it might be better to have meetings that don’t handle materials in a conversational format? (kawahiii)
            • I’ll try it out and see the reactions from customers (kawahiii)- “If there is a document sharing feature on the screen, just listening to the audio might not provide enough information, right?” (nishio)

• “Oh, that’s helpful.” (blu3mo)

  • “Indeed, perhaps content that can be understood through text alone would be more appropriate.” (blu3mo)

• Regarding YouTube and podcasts

• There may be good customers other than the ones mentioned above.

  • Although not deeply considered, it seems like there could be interest from people reading legal documents or in educational settings.
