What was actually said

“Hundreds of thousands of rows edited by many people at once. Notion/Airtable choke at that scale, Excel Online is locked to Microsoft cloud; I want self-hosting.”

How to validate it

Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
Search existing tools around "collaborative / self-hosted" and check which single step they actually cover.
Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Stack Exchange, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
