Copy the complete asset

Create an evidence-backed opportunity brief for the niche I provide. Begin by restating my skills, audience access, budget, time, geographic limits, and excluded industries. Research current buyer pains, existing alternatives, observable demand signals, and willingness-to-pay proxies using dated sources. Cite every market fact and label unsupported ideas as assumptions. Do not invent interviews, customers, revenue, or quotes.

Return: (1) the narrowest credible buyer and job-to-be-done, (2) a pain and alternatives map, (3) five demand signals with source/date, (4) three offer hypotheses with deliverable, likely buyer, and cheapest validation method, (5) the strongest reasons not to enter, (6) the riskiest assumptions, and (7) a seven-day validation plan that requires human approval before any outreach or publication. Score evidence quality, not income potential. Stop and say "insufficient evidence" if fewer than three independent sources support the problem.

Stop and escalate

  • Fewer than three independent evidence sources
  • Evidence is stale, contradictory, or unrelated to purchasing behavior
