• ticketmaster lawsuit | this_week->watchlist | content_affiliate->lead_gen | low->medium | kill_reason=The case depends on specific timing, jurisdiction, and plaintiff scope, so the loop does not form naturally.

Full Candidate Pool Watchlist

• is arc raiders down | Score=60 | Window term | product_type=status_page | task_closure=medium | Risk: The game is still in an early stage, and long-term search frequency is uncertain. | kill_reason: Demand is small and may only spike briefly around release milestones.
• ticketmaster lawsuit | Score=74 | Window term | product_type=lead_gen | task_closure=medium | Risk: Legal compliance risk is high, and traffic will quickly drop to zero after the case loses momentum. | kill_reason: The case depends on specific timing, jurisdiction, and plaintiff scope, so the loop does not form naturally.
• verizon outage | Score=58 | Cyclical term | product_type=status_page | task_closure=medium | Risk: High traffic does not equal easy entry; the bar for timeliness and credibility is high. | kill_reason: Top-tier competition is too strong, and there is no obvious advantage in obtaining and updating status data.
• opus 4.7 | Score=56 | Window term | product_type=database | task_closure=low | Risk: Official launch pages and media coverage will capture demand first, and the meaning of the term may continue to evolve. | kill_reason: The new term has strong buzz but its semantics are not yet stable, so the loop is unclear at this stage.
