Comment vs DM Checker
Check whether a Reddit lead deserves a public comment, a DM, or no response.
Recommendation
Do not DM
The context is too weak or sensitive. Skip outreach or leave a neutral public answer if it genuinely helps.
How to use the checker
Start from the safest useful action. A public reply is usually better than a private pitch.
Follow the recommendation
Use the output to avoid jumping into private outreach too early.
Keep the reply useful
If you reply, answer the thread before mentioning your product.
