Market scans

AI market research scans for small business leaders

AI researches a market, competitor set or new location on request and returns a sourced summary, so you can test an idea before spending on it.

01 today

The problem

When an owner wants to test a new service, region or price point, the research falls to whoever has a spare afternoon. It turns into a pile of bookmarked links, and the decision often gets made on gut feel because the scan never quite gets finished.

02 the run

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Takes your question, such as a new suburb, a new product line or a competitor's price change, and agrees the scope with you first.
  2. Step 2: Searches public sources such as company websites, review sites, job ads, government statistics and industry news.
  3. Step 3: Pulls search demand and competitor visibility from Semrush or Ahrefs where you have an account.
  4. Step 4: Writes a short report on who is already there, what they charge, what their customers complain about and what is still unknown.
  5. Step 5: Cites every claim with a link and marks anything it could not verify.

paused: waiting for a person to approve

03 human in the loop

Where a person approves

The leader who asked reviews the report and decides what to act on. Anything that costs money or contacts outsiders, such as test ads or supplier calls, needs separate sign-off.

04 after

What changes

Leaders get a consistent, sourced first look at an opportunity before committing time or money. Ideas are dropped or pursued on evidence, and each scan is saved for the next time the question comes up.
