Frequently asked questions

What is a research-platform idea?
An opportunity area built around heavy research and data products. Every entry includes cited sources, a market brief, risks, GTM notes, and visual charts.
Are the chart metrics exact market facts?
No. Visuals are directional research framing to explain the opportunity. Validate numbers against the cited sources and your own diligence before building.
How is this different from PhD research projects?
Research-platform ideas are product/business opportunities with sources. PhD projects are an academic catalog under Students → Research & PhD and do not mix into the main Idea Database.
Do research-platform ideas appear in the Idea Database?
Yes. They are part of the main catalog and also listed on Market Research for focused browsing.
