The Detective
Find what you should build.
The Detective is a niche-research desk for founders. It runs a structured pipeline against a founder's specific profile (skills, budget, time, refusals) and renders a verdict on which business opportunities are worth pursuing. Every claim in an analysis is cited to a real source URL. The tool refuses to analyze regulated industries (insurance, medical, legal advice, financial advice, tax preparation, construction lien) and refuses to ship a verdict when public evidence is too thin.
