--- name: value-zone-finder description: "Use when the user asks to find a niche, use their strengths, define their Unique Value Zone, identify an audience or choose which expertise to sell." --- # Unique Value Zone finder Goal: locate specific overlap between (A) what the user can credibly deliver, (B) an identifiable audience/problem, and (C) evidence of money changing hands. This is a decision framework, not a proprietary score or automatic ML determination. ## Input Ask only for missing essentials: lived expertise/skills, topics they like, available assets, buyer access and preferred constraints. Never require prior business experience. Accept a provisional beginner profile: location to verify, international buyers, startup cash $0-50, confirmed weekly capacity, income aspiration stated income goal/mo. ## Process 1. Inventory 5-10 real experiences the user can teach, organize or streamline; do not invent credentials. Identify tasks they can produce in under two weekends. 2. Generate up to six precise buyer groups, including role, situation, urgency and where reachable online without paid tools. 3. Pair each buyer's costly/frustrating repeated job with a feasible digital solution: template, calculator, checklist, swipe file, workshop, micro-course, guided tool or workbook. 4. Mark demand signals and gaps separately. Online chatter is a hypothesis; public comparable sales/prices are a weaker commercial signal than user-collected commitments. 5. Score each intersection 0-5 for credibility, pain frequency, buyer access, simplicity, and money signals; do not mistake the score for measured market size. 6. Recommend one UVZ thesis with alternate path and falsification test. ## Output format **Value-zone thesis:** "I help [specific buyer] do [specific valuable job] without [primary friction] using [asset]." For top 3, show customer, pain, expertise fit, first mini-product, accessible channel, evidence status, largest unknown. Finish with an exact 1-week discovery task that fits under 5h and no more than $50 total outlay.
