Executive Summary

Aspiring founders and creators (≈50M potential users) often waste months testing monetization paths because they don’t know which business model matches their personality, skills, time constraints, and revenue goals, leaving many ideas never monetized. Current advice is generic and hard to operationalize, so people need actionable, personalized guidance that leads to early wins. You could build an AI-driven assessment that maps personality, strengths, and constraints to ranked business-model recommendations plus a personalized playbook of step-by-step micro-courses, templates, and launch sprints; monetize via a freemium assessment funnel and $60 ACV modular products. Use LLMs to create bespoke plans and templated deliverables at scale while tracking early indicators of fit (first customers, revenue signals). This is a timely opportunity in a $3.0B addressable market (50M × $60 ACV) supported by the growing creator/side-hustle economy and consumer demand for bite-sized, outcome-focused learning. AI reduces content costs and enables personalization, improving unit economics if customer acquisition costs are controlled. You can differentiate by tying recommendations to measurable outcomes (validated revenue or engagement signals), offering turnkey launch templates and integrations that produce fast wins, and optimizing conversion from free assessments to paid micro-courses. Key risks are demonstrating assessment validity and competing for attention in a medium-competition market, but the clear monetization path and strong market tailwinds make this worth testing.
