Why it works

Research that previously required teams of analysts can now be done by individuals with AI assistance. Yet AI hallucinates financial figures, misattributes quotes, and misses subtle strategic shifts that only appear when comparing multiple sources. Businesses and investors pay for the human verification that prevents million-dollar decisions based on false data.

Project + retainer

How to start

Choose 2–3 industries you understand well and build sample research reports showing competitor positioning, market size, and trend analysis. 2. Offer a free mini-analysis to venture capitalists or angel investors in your network. 3. Price per report at $500–2000 or per monthly research subscription at $1500–4000 for ongoing monitoring. 4. Use AI to process earnings calls, SEC filings, and news sources at scale, but manually verify all financial figures. 5. Build a research template with sections for executive summary, market landscape, competitor deep-dives, and strategic recommendations. 6. Subscribe to industry newsletters and set Google Alerts for key companies to stay current. 7. Interview 2–3 industry experts monthly to add primary research that AI cannot generate. 8. Cite all sources with hyperlinks so clients can verify claims independently. 9. Deliver reports in PDF and presentation format for different audience needs. 10. Schedule a 30-minute walkthrough call for every major report to answer client questions. 11. Upsell custom data visualization and dashboard creation at $800 per project.
