💼 Business analysis

🎯

Business use case

An automated research/monitoring workflow that gathers external data (HTTP / REST API, Airtable), structures it, and delivers insight on a schedule — competitor tracking, market monitoring, data collection.

📈

Market need

Timely external data (competitors, prices, trends) drives decisions, but collecting it by hand is impractical. Automated research is a durable need.

💰

Market value

Data/monitoring subscriptions run $50–$500/mo; the collection engine is the defensible core.
