Market Opportunity
Startups and small businesses make decisions blind. They can't afford McKinsey but desperately need competitor intel, market sizing, and trend analysis. AI can now scrape, summarize, and analyze market data in hours instead of weeks.
The Idea
Sell market research reports and competitive analysis to startups and small businesses. Use ChatGPT and Claude to analyze competitors' websites, customer reviews, pricing, and positioning. Compile findings into a clear 5–10 page report with actionable recommendations. Charge $500–2,000 per report depending on depth. Offer industry-specific subscription packages.
Key to Success
- Create a standardized 'Competitive Landscape Report' template — makes delivery fast and professional
- Use AI to scrape and summarize competitor reviews (what customers love/hate) — this is gold for clients
- Start with one industry vertical (e.g., DTC skincare brands) and become the go-to analyst for that space
