📊 How We Find Emerging Markets

This report uses machine learning to identify genuinely novel business concepts that most people haven't heard of yet. We're looking for the next "rage room" - experimental ideas that represent new human needs or cultural shifts.

1

Cluster Analysis

We analyze embeddings (AI-generated semantic representations) of recently launched websites using HDBSCAN clustering to find groups of similar businesses.

2

Novelty Detection

Each cluster is compared to all historical business patterns using cosine distance. Clusters with >0.5 novelty score are genuinely different from anything we've seen before.

3

Small Cluster Preference

We prioritize tiny clusters (2-5 sites) because they represent early emerging trends before they become mainstream. Even single novel sites are worth tracking.

4

Multi-Dimensional Scoring

GPT-4 analyzes each cluster on 5 dimensions: Concept Novelty, Cultural Shift, Cross-Category Innovation, Might-Fail Factor, and Entrepreneurial Signal.

What Makes a Good Signal?

  • Concept Novelty: A business type most people haven't heard of (e.g., "Bedbug Lawyers")
  • Cultural Shift: Serves a new human need or emerging behavior pattern
  • Cross-Category: Blends unexpected categories in innovative ways
  • Might-Fail Factor: Experimental/risky concepts that are still worth tracking
  • Entrepreneurial Signal: Information an entrepreneur would want to know about

Only concepts scoring 5.0+/10 overall are included. We filter out established categories (like restaurants, salons, etc.) by cross-referencing against 698 known business types.
