Business Opportunity Finder

Finding a viable business idea is easy, but finding one worth your time and capital is not. This skill replaces gut feeling with a disciplined, evidence-based analysis to pressure-test opportunities before you write a single line of code. It moves beyond generic brainstorming by applying a weighted 100-point scoring matrix and identifying the specific assumptions that could kill your project.

What it does

• Opportunity Discovery generates a ranked shortlist of problems worth solving based on your specific founder profile and assets.
• Market Gap Scanning maps customer segments to identify underserved pains, existing solution gaps, and high-value hypotheses.
• Rigorous Idea Scoring applies a 100-point matrix across nine criteria including pain intensity, reachability, and capital efficiency.
• Validation Sprint Planning designs the cheapest possible tests to falsify your riskiest assumptions within seven days.
• Unit Economics Modeling calculates bottom-up market sizing, break-even points, and margin sensitivity for digital products.

How it works

1. Define the Profile by providing your skills, budget, and time availability to establish the baseline for founder-fit scoring.
2. Select the Mode ranging from broad discovery and market scanning to deep-dive validation sprints and economic sizing.
3. Execute Analysis where the agent applies the Seven Discovery Lenses to find inefficiencies, shifts, or unbundling opportunities.
4. Review Evidence by checking the letter-graded tags (A-D) on every claim to see which numbers are verified and which are guesses.

Frameworks & tools

This skill uses proprietary frameworks for problem-first discovery, bottom-up market sizing, and risk-adjusted scoring models. It follows strict evidence-and-honesty rules to ensure all financial projections are calculated from stated inputs rather than generic estimates.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Standard LLM prompts yield generic, overly optimistic business ideas that ignore founder fit and execution risk. This skill forces a "kill it" mentality, requiring every idea to pass a weighted matrix and a riskiest-assumption test before being recommended.

Use cases

• Auditing a list of side-hustle ideas to pick the one with the highest speed-to-revenue.
• Mapping a specific industry niche to find manual processes ripe for micro-SaaS automation.
• Planning a 30-day validation sprint for a new product concept to avoid building what nobody wants.
• Calculating the unit economics and break-even point for a new digital service or subscription tool.

Known limitations

Does not provide real-time market data or competitor revenue without external search tool access. Financial calculations are projections based on user-supplied or inferred inputs.
