Could you build this?
Partial The site and ranking UI are easy, but the value depends on a large, trustworthy dataset of real vendor bills and switching stories that a solo builder won't have at the start.
What it would actually take: The stack is a standard content site with a database and ranking logic. The hard part is sourcing and verifying real pricing and renewal data at scale, which requires a community submission pipeline, moderation, and ideally partnerships or procurement data. Growing that dataset is the real barrier, not the engineering.
