Inpost matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around protecting checkout revenue and order operations, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Stores lose money when checkout, payment, shipping, or order flows fail silently. The entry wedge is to monitor checkout-critical paths, flag revenue-impacting issues, and produce fix-ready diagnostics.

Freemium baseline check with paid checkout monitors, test orders, alerting, agency reports, and integrations with payment or helpdesk tools.

Risks
The evidence may still describe small fixes unless users pay for the broader workflow.
WordPress.org data can be noisy
Large incumbents may copy obvious features
Some support complaints may reflect user setup rather than a commercial product gap
The thesis should be validated against competitor pricing pages and buyer interviews before build commitment.
