+ # Phase 2: Niche -- Convergence & Scoring
2
+
3
+ > **Goal:** Take your raw niche ideas from Phase 1 and ruthlessly score, filter, and rank them. You will leave this phase with a Gold niche pick -- the one you're going to build around.
4
+ >
5
+ > **Key principle:** Niche = Person + Problem + Promise. If you can't name the person, articulate the problem, and state the promise in under 10 words, the idea isn't sharp enough yet.
6
+ >
7
+ > **Source frameworks:** Taki Moore 3-Question Score, Hormozi 4-Criteria Score, Premium Market Check, Low-Status Test

10
+
11
+ ## 1. Structured Niche Ideas
12
+
13
+ > **For each promising idea from Phase 1, force it into the Person / Problem / Promise structure.** Be specific. "Small business owners" is too vague. "Solo accountants with 50-200 clients who spend 15+ hours/week on bookkeeping" is sharp.
14
+
15
+ ### Idea A: [short name]
16
+
17
+ - **Person:** [Who specifically? Demographics, role, situation. Can you name 3 real people you know with this problem?]
18
+ - Name 1: [placeholder]
19
+ - Name 2: [placeholder]
20
+ - Name 3: [placeholder]
21
+ - **Problem:** [What exactly? Why is it painful? What have they tried that failed?]
22
+ - **Promise:** [In under 10 words, what transformation do you deliver?]
23
+
24
+ ### Idea B: [short name]
25
+
26
+ - **Person:** [placeholder]
27

62
+ ## 2. Taki Moore 3-Question Score
63
+
64
+ > **A fast gut-check filter.** Rate each idea Red (R), Yellow (Y), or Green (G).
65
+ >
66
+ > - **Like:** "Do I genuinely like the idea of working with these people day after day?" Red = dread it, Yellow = it's fine, Green = I'd enjoy it.
67
+ > - **Help:** "Can I actually help them? Do I have the skills or could I develop them quickly?" Red = no clue, Yellow = with effort, Green = already capable.
68
+ > - **Pay:** "Will they happily pay at least $2,000 for this?" Red = unlikely, Yellow = maybe with convincing, Green = they'd pay more.
69
+ >
70
+ > **Rule of thumb:** Any idea with a Red on "Pay" is probably dead. Two Reds = definitely dead.
71

83

84
+ ## 3. Hormozi 4-Criteria Score
85
+
86
+ > **A deeper market viability check.** For each surviving idea, score Red / Yellow / Green on these four criteria from Hormozi's framework.
87
+ >
88
+ > - **Painful:** "Is this problem painful enough that they actively seek solutions? Or is it a mild annoyance they live with?" Red = mild inconvenience, Yellow = noticeable pain, Green = keeping them up at night.
89
+ > - **Purchasing Power:** "Does this person have money to spend on solving this? Are they a business (B2B) or a consumer (B2C)?" Red = broke segment, Yellow = has some budget, Green = money is not the obstacle.
90
+ > - **Targetable:** "Can I find and reach these people? Are they in specific communities, job titles, industries?" Red = scattered/hidden, Yellow = findable with effort, Green = concentrated and easy to reach.
91
+ > - **Growing:** "Is this market expanding? Are more people entering this situation over time?" Red = shrinking, Yellow = stable, Green = growing (AI trends, demographic shifts, industry changes).
92
+ >
93
+ > **Sweet spot:** All Green or three Green + one Yellow. Two or more Reds = move on.

104
+ ## 4. Low-Status Business Test
105
+
106
+ > **From the $1M business framework.** The best businesses often sound boring to outsiders. If your idea sounds "sexy" or "impressive" at dinner parties, that's actually a warning sign -- it means lots of people will compete with you.
107
+ >
108
+ > **The test:** "Tell your grandma you're doing this."
109
+ > - If she says "Oh wow, that's so cool!" = BAD sign (too sexy, too much competition)
110
+ > - If she says "Oh... good for you, dear" = GOOD sign (boring to outsiders, but viable)

120
+ ## 5. Premium Market Check
121
+
122
+ > **From the money_online framework.** The market splits into three tiers. You want the 9% -- the premium segment. The 90% mass market is brutal (race to the bottom on price). The 1% luxury tier requires pedigree and connections.
123
+ >
124
+ > ```
125
+ > 90% -- Mass market (hard mode, price-sensitive, high volume needed)
126
+ > 9% -- Premium (sweet spot: will pay for quality, values expertise)
127
+ > 1% -- Luxury (requires brand cachet and connections)
128
+ > ```
129
+ >
130
+ > **Key question:** "Could I find a RICHER subset of this audience?"
131
+ > *Example: "Helping students study better" (mass market) vs. "Helping Chinese parents prepare kids for US medical school admissions" (premium subset with high willingness to pay).*
132

141
+ ## 6. Journaling Prompts (Tie-Breakers)
142
+
143
+ > **When the scores are close, use these prompts to listen to your gut.** Write freely -- don't overthink. The right answer often feels obvious once you start writing.
144
+
145

148

152

153
