Act as a productised-service strategist. I want to launch Supplier & Subcontractor Onboarding Studio · £299-1,500+. Candidate customers: construction SMEs, property managers, facilities firms, event operators, agencies and multi-site businesses using regular external suppliers. The problems this service can solve are: delayed starts, incomplete supplier information, unclear contacts, inconsistent expectations, repeated admin chasing and poor version control.

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.
