Market Opportunity Scan
market_opportunity_scanRead-onlyIdempotent
Returns a research framework, not the finished analysis: the procedure, output schema and quality rubric for a gap analysis of a category x metro — how to tell underserved demand, oversaturation and genuine whitespace apart using only public signals, for someone deciding whether/where to open, expand, or invest.. This tool fetches no data; the calling model runs the procedure with its own web search and produces the result.
Example invocations:
"Is there whitespace for a new brewery taproom in the North Loop, Minneapolis?"
"Scan the nail salon market in Aurora, CO for underserved demand"
"Where in Wichita, KS is full-service restaurant demand outrunning supply?"
