TRACK-SPECIFIC BUSINESS BRIEF
Opportunity: A service producing detailed, photo-led access statements and inclusion improvement notes for tourism, hospitality and leisure venues, published on their sites and listings.
Who it is for: Disabled-access-aware writers, ex-hospitality staff, occupational-therapy-minded operators.
What is sold: Site visit checklist, photo-led access statement, inclusion notes, listing snippets, annual refresh.
Buyer: Hotels, B&Bs, attractions, restaurants, event venues, councils' tourism teams
Where it is sold: Tourism boards, VisitScotland/VisitEngland listings, accessibility charities, LinkedIn, direct outreach.
Startup cost: £0–£100 | Time to launch: 1–2 weeks
Revenue model: £149 pilot statement, £299–599 full statement, £79/yr refresh. | Activity model: ACTIVE · recurring
Why now: The purple pound is worth billions and accessibility information is the top pre-booking question; most venues have none.
Differentiation: Not a formal audit — a customer-facing, honest access statement that drives bookings while flagging improvements.
First-customer route: Write two local venues' statements free, get them published, sell five.
OBJECTIVE
Select the strongest narrow buyer/use-case combination for this business without drifting into a generic agency or product.
INFORMATION TO ANALYSE
Use only evidence I paste, clearly named public sources, client-approved material and the following track-specific research plan:
Use official guidance, sector bodies, public reviews and 5–8 buyer interviews for hotels; date-stamp rules and mark unverified items [VERIFY].
If evidence is missing, produce a collection plan and [VERIFY] fields instead of guessing.
TRACK-SPECIFIC EXECUTION DIRECTION
Prioritise hotels; score sub-niches by urgency of the trigger event, buyer access and how badly current options serve them.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
1. Generate 12 combinations of buyer × trigger/problem × deliverable. 2. Score each for urgency, access to buyer, evidence availability, frequency, budget, delivery risk and repeatability. 3. Identify UK and global variants. 4. Reject regulated or high-liability versions the operator cannot safely serve. 5. Select one lead micro-niche and two controlled alternatives. 6. Define what would disprove the opportunity within 48 hours.
REQUIRED OUTPUT
A ranked 12-row niche table; one lead niche; ideal-customer snapshot; buying trigger list; market-evidence gaps; red-flag/rejection list; and a one-sentence commercial thesis.
Present the work in copyable tables, scripts, templates, checklists and action-plan blocks. Fill known variables and leave unknown variables visibly labelled.
TRACK-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE / QUALITY BOUNDARY
Not a legal Equality Act audit; factual description only; recommend qualified access auditors for compliance decisions.
KPI SET
Track: pilot conversions, delivery time, client satisfaction, upgrade rate, recurring retention, referrals
STAG VAULT CROSS-SELLS
Reference these existing resources where useful rather than recreating them: Track 59 Accessibility Content Upgrades, Track 186 Destination Guest Guides, Track 70 Airbnb Listing Rescue.
NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES
- Never invent live demand, traffic, sales, conversion rates, prices, laws, platform rules, testimonials or customer evidence. Mark unknowns [VERIFY] and give the exact source or experiment needed.
- Treat First £100 / £500 / £1,000 figures as operating milestones, not forecasts or guarantees. Separate revenue, costs, tax, refunds and owner time.
- Use public, permissioned or client-supplied information only. Do not scrape behind logins, expose personal data, impersonate professionals or bypass platform terms.
- Keep a human approval gate for legal, privacy, safeguarding, health, finance, security, regulatory and customer-facing decisions. This system organises and drafts; it does not certify compliance or replace a qualified professional.
- Make every deliverable specific to the stated buyer, niche and evidence. Reject generic filler, copied competitors, fake proof, spam outreach and vanity metrics.
- Prioritise a cheap validation test before a full build. Stop or revise when the pre-agreed evidence threshold is not reached.
Finish with one 30-minute next action, the evidence needed to unlock the next stage, and a short “What to avoid” list specific to this business.
