Act as a productised-service strategist. I want to launch AI-Assisted Competitor Intelligence for Local Businesses · £120-750+. Candidate customers: restaurants, retailers, trades, professional services and local operators entering or repositioning in a competitive market. The problems this service can solve are: no time for competitor research, assumptions about pricing, unclear differentiation, scattered review data and reactive decision-making. Ask me first for my location, relevant experience, available hours per week, budget, existing contacts and preferred delivery style. Then: (1) identify 8 commercially specific sub-niches, (2) score each 1-10 for urgency, ability to pay, ease of reaching the buyer, competition, delivery simplicity, AI leverage and recurring potential, (3) identify the trigger event that makes each buyer act now, (4) show the smallest paid pilot I could sell, (5) rank the top 3, and (6) recommend one niche with a clear reason to reject the others. Label assumptions and give me five real-world validation questions to answer before I build. BUSINESS CONTEXT — Offer: AI-Assisted Competitor Intelligence for Local Businesses · £120-750+.
