DAO Market Entry Report.
This is the concrete paid product DAO.top can sell first: a source-linked account list showing which DAOs are worth researching, what buyer type fits, why now, where to start, and what evidence supports the action.
This is not a generic ranking page. It is a buyer workflow: prioritize accounts, open source evidence, choose the right contact path, and decide whether outreach or deeper research is worth the time.
Buyer promise
Save research time before spending BD or analyst time
A paying customer should use this to answer five questions: which DAO, why now, what evidence, where to start, and what to do first.
