Is Yaystack worth running as a client service?

Yaystack provides a fast, evidence-visible AEO audit with scoring, competitor benchmarking, and PDF export that agencies can package into an AEO offer. However, the vendor's plan prices, the labor required per audit, and client acquisition pace are not published in the supplied data, so vendor cost, margins, and ROI cannot be modeled.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
