Validating an idea: automated vendor spec sheet comparison

I'm exploring building a tool that automates B2B vendor comparison - upload PDF spec sheets, get a normalized side-by-side comparison table.

Before I build anything, I'd like to validate the pain points:

  1. How often do you evaluate/compare vendors?
  2. How long does it typically take?
  3. What's the most annoying part of the process?
  4. Would you pay for something that cut the time by 70-80%?

Thinking of starting with feature flag platforms (LaunchDarkly, Split, etc.) but curious if other categories are more painful.
