CAIBI

Interesting · Product Signal 60 / 100 · Moderate confidence

The site is live and contains substantive content: assessed maker projects (SmartKnob, Sesame Robot, Hadley Telescope, OpenBike) with cost ranges, difficulty, time, an 'AI help' rating and a verdict like BUILD IT or BUY INSTEAD, plus dated cost checks and links back to the original creators. That editorial structure is more than a link directory and is distinct from Hackaday.io, Instructables or Thingiverse, which host projects but do not rate build-vs-buy economics. Proof of use is thin: no repo, no community contributions visible, 22 backlinks from 17 domains, zero HN mentions, and the assessments are explicitly not physical builds, so the ratings rest on desk research. Search-trend numbers are ambiguous for a term like CAIBI and should not be read as traction.

What would raise it. The missing evidence is usage: contributed builds, returning readers, or any public sign people act on your assessments. Publishing a few builds you actually made, and showing how many builders have submitted results, would separate this from a well-written content site.
