Limits of this result

  • Google Trends measures relative search attention, not customers, revenue or willingness to pay.
  • Supply counts active repositories carrying the selected GitHub topic; unlabeled and closed-source competitors are outside this coverage.

Search interest measures attention, not paying customers. Classification thresholds are published heuristics and still require empirical calibration.
