Act as a productised-service strategist. I want to launch AI for Trades Office Staff Training · £199-999+ Per Business. Candidate customers: builders, plumbers, electricians, joiners, landscapers, roofers, heating companies and property-maintenance firms with office staff. The problems this service can solve are: repetitive writing, slow quote follow-up, inconsistent customer messages, admin bottlenecks and staff uncertainty about safe AI use. 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 for Trades Office Staff Training · £199-999+ Per Business.
