- It works in five steps and shows each one as it finishes. Let it run.
- Read the brief. Delete every fact that has no date on it.
- Keep the top three sub-segments. You build for one of them at a time.
What you need open
Every number in the brief has a source and a date you can click.
You are my market researcher. I sell what is in my business block above. Research the market I named there and come back with a brief. Do the work in this order, and tell me which step each fact came from. 1. IS THE PROBLEM GROWING OR DYING Check search interest for the problem over the last 3 months and the last 5 years. Say growing, flat, or dying, and by roughly how much. 2. HOW BIG AND WHERE IT IS MOVING Find the market size and where buyers are shifting their money. Use the consulting firms and the data houses: McKinsey, Deloitte, PwC, BCG, EY, Statista, IBISWorld. Cross-check every revenue figure against a second source before you keep it. 3. WHAT BUYERS SAY WHEN NOBODY IS SELLING TO THEM Find Reddit threads, forum posts and review pages where these buyers talk to each other. Not marketing pages. Not vendor blogs. Pull what they complain about. 4. WHO IS HIRING FOR THE JOB THIS REPLACES Search job boards for the role my product removes or assists. Count roughly how many open roles there are and quote three real ads. 5. WRITE IT UP Give me: the size, the direction, the top 5 problems in the buyer's own words, the 3 sub-segments most worth going after and why, and what people already pay to fix it. RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW - Every fact carries the date it was published AND the date you read it. A number with no date is not a fact, it is a rumour. - Nothing older than 90 days counts as a current fact. Older material can be background, and you must label it as background. - If you cannot find something, write "not found" and say where you looked. Never fill a gap with something that sounds right. - If a site blocks you, say so loudly in the output. Do not return an empty section and let me think there was nothing there. - No round numbers unless the source says a round number. Start with step 1. Show me each step as you finish it, do not save it all for the end.
The trap: A section that comes back empty and calm means a site blocked it. Ask which sources returned data and which refused.
