This replaces the broad/passive buyer-decision surface with a narrower cash test for automation agencies, workflow consultants, and plugin builders who need source-linked OSS backlog intelligence before pitching or scoping client work.
- Agencies building n8n, Directus, Formbricks, or self-hosted DevOps integrations.
- Freelancers who sell maintenance, migration, workflow, or plugin retainers and need public proof of repo pain.
- OSS sponsors who want a short queue-cleanup readout before posting bounties.
| Offer | Price hypothesis | Delivery | Decision trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automation agency shortlist | $49 one-off |
5-10 public issues across one tool category, each with source URL, owner activity, crowding/duplicate risk, and suggested pitch angle | Buyer needs a fast list of credible outreach/scoping targets |
| Repo backlog triage readout | $100-$150 one-off |
One repo queue map: stale/crowded/unassigned/high-signal issues, unsafe exclusions, and recommended cleanup or bounty actions | Buyer already works around that repo/tool and wants a scoped maintenance lane |
| Monthly radar refresh | $149/mo hypothesis |
Recurring delta report for one repo/category with newly qualified issues and changed risk | Buyer needs continuous sourcing for a retainer pipeline |
No payment is collected here. A request is a fit check until scope and payment route are agreed outside GitHub.
- n8n bug backlog mini-sample — workflow automation queue slice suitable for agency/plugin backlog scouting.
- Directus bug backlog mini-sample — commercial OSS admin/data-platform queue slice.
- Formbricks bug backlog mini-sample — product analytics/support queue slice.
- Coolify backup queue cleanup sample — self-hosted DevOps backup issue slice.
Use this if the buyer wants a concrete first scope:
I want an OSS Bounty Radar readout for
<repo/org/category>. I would consider paying<$49 / $100-$150 / $149 monthly>if it identifies public issues with source URLs, freshness, crowding/duplicate risk, and a suggested action/pitch angle. Please exclude security/vulnerability issues and anything needing private data.
Open a custom data request with:
- repo/org/category;
- target offer tier;
- what would make the report worth buying;
- any exclusion rules.
Or email alce.ops@gmail.com with the same four bullets.
- Public data only: GitHub issues/PRs, public bounty pages, public docs.
- No private contact scraping, credentialed data, captcha bypass, spam, or fake traction.
- Security/vulnerability-labeled issues are excluded by default unless a separate reviewed security/compliance scope exists.
- Opt-out: ask for a repo/org to be removed from future public samples.
If this narrower automation-agency packet still produces zero buyer/custom-request/email signal after the next distribution check, stop iterating GitHub-only passive pages. Replace it with either a direct one-touch safe outreach to a verified agency route or a different paid data product tied to an active buyer conversation.
