r/SaaS.

Indie-hacker promotion posts and "I built this in a weekend" affiliate funnels. The audience is exactly the buyer profile.

r/SaaS is r/Entrepreneur with a higher technical literacy floor, which makes risky promotions more sophisticated. The playbook is usually a "case study" post with an attractive MRR screenshot, a vague tech stack, and a comment chain seeding the OP's tool or course. The scanner reads the rhetoric: outcome-only claims, no technical specifics, and sockpuppet praise.

The verdict will frequently surface AI-tool promotion and course-promotion funnels as paired playbooks. The report shows whether the OP's visible history includes other Discords, communities, or repeated call-to-action language.

What shows up in r/SaaS

Posts with Stripe-screenshot proof but no merchant name or product page link.
Tech stack claims that boil down to "AI agents + Make.com + Zapier" with no code shown.
OPs whose post history is a circuit of "I figured out X" → "DM me how" → other Discords.
All-praise reply chains from accounts only ever active in r/SaaS / r/Entrepreneur / r/SideProject.
