"The Feature Request I Never Built" is a judgment call, not a technical one — and it's the kind of call Free Builder puts in your hands, not your AI worker's.
Every solo SaaS gets requests. Some are worth building. Most aren't. The framework's position is simple: your AI workers execute, but you decide what's worth money. That's the actual asset — the methodology, rules, and judgment behind your service — not the code. Code is cheap now. Deciding what not to build is the hard part, and it's yours to keep.

Here's how to run that decision when a request lands:
- Check it against your knowledge, not your backlog. Does it fit the methodology you already designed, or does it pull your product toward being someone else's tool?
- Ask who's really asking. One loud customer isn't a market. Look for the request repeating across people who pay.
- Price it before you build it. If it doesn't support a plan someone will pay more for, it's a maybe, not a yes.
- Protect the 12 systems. Free Builder's scaffold and modules exist so your AI workers build inside coherent boundaries — a one-off feature that breaks that coherence costs more than it earns.
- Say no in writing. A clear no keeps trust with the customer and keeps your roadmap yours.
The community trades real examples of this — what got built, what got declined, and why. That's where the pattern gets sharper than any single story can make it.
