Products priced wrong relative to effort

Many businesses sell popular items or services that actually lose money once you account for the time and effort required to deliver them. This problem leaves owners feeling 'busy but broke' because their pricing model ignores the hidden costs of complexity.

Opportunity Score

Approachable for beginners because it relies on simple math rather than complex tech. The income potential is high because fixing pricing immediately puts cash in the owner's pocket.

Market Motivation

The psychology of the buyer

Because working hard for zero profit leads to burnout.

Business owners will happily pay to find out which products are draining their energy and bank accounts. By aligning price with effort, you help them work less while making the same (or more) money. It solves an urgent financial and emotional pain.
