20/ If you want to teach Weird Topics grad school, you need to figure out a link/cross-subsidy with research/writing/making/indie-creating, focus on bespoke teaching relationships, and a price < $100, unless you can figure out a scholarship model and make it free (my preference)

*might* be fast moving enough. 1:1 coaching is non-scalable... -
... And speech therapy software* is a too small a niche. *That's what my company makes. We've faced universities writing speech therapy software many times. They always fail. There isn't enough revenue to support it at scale.
