What goes in, what comes out

The workflow

1. In
   Start with

   Permitted public sources, licensed feeds and team watchlists

2. 1

   Confirm the buyer's problem and scope

3. 2

   Collect permitted public sources

4. 3

   Licensed feeds and team watchlists

5. 4

   Then follow this sequence: 1

6. Out
   Finish with

   Reviewer-approved trend briefings linked to source evidence

AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed source list and licensed feed set; final interpretation and publication checks remain editorial. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Watchlist setup, Signal review queue, Briefing and delivery. Use a watchlist gallery for topics and markets, a central signal feed with change markers, and a right-hand panel for sources, sentiment and comments. Let users compare briefing versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant signal. Make the task-specific outcome reviewer-approved trend briefings linked to source evidence visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, source versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Buyer-owned watchlists, authorized feeds and permitted public sources. Cloud storage, marketing platforms and briefing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   4 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: monitor permitted sources continuously for emerging trends; analyze signals with AI and flag likely direction. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   5 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   10 days

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will marketing and insights teams that track market and consumer trends for decisions use it to solve "trend signals sit in several rented tools, so monitoring, analysis and briefings are split and slow"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval.
4. Measure, then decide. Track reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed source list and licensed feed set; final interpretation and publication checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: monitor permitted sources continuously for emerging trends; analyze signals with AI and flag likely direction. Support the third module with operator review: build customizable dashboards per industry or topic. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewer-approved trend briefings linked to source evidence. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed source list and licensed feed set; final interpretation and publication checks remain editorial.

What the build depends on. Source ingestion and preview, asynchronous analysis jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity monitoring requires specialist research QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed source list and licensed feed set; final interpretation and publication checks remain editorial.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined watchlist package. Offer a monthly monitoring allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-market or specialist research separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewer-approved trend briefing. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce time from signal to reviewed briefing while keeping sources traceable. Demonstrate a concrete reviewer-approved trend briefing using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Marketing and insights teams professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample reviewer-approved trend briefing from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five marketing and insights teams that track market and consumer trends for decisions and inspect a recent example of trend signals sitting in several rented tools, so monitoring, analysis and briefings are split and slow.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewer-approved trend briefings linked to source evidence. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved watchlists, source rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow marketing niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for marketing and insights teams that track market and consumer trends for decisions. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Trendtracker, Nextatlas, Perigon, ViralViews, TopK, Aidy and TrendUp 2.0, plus manual research and generic dashboards. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on reviewed briefings per analyst hour and corrections after briefing approval. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Source access, feed licensing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewer-approved trend briefings linked to source evidence. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Reviewers approve substantive changes and publication scope. One fixed source list and licensed feed set; final interpretation and publication checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
