✨ Why this wins where ChatGPT can't

Ingredient	Here
🔒 Hard-to-get, realtime	The Gazette's own public JSON feed (/insolvency/notice/data.json) with publication-date windows — the same ledger credit agencies pay for.
🛠️ Hardest problems, solved	DD/MM/YYYY server dates · 100-row paging · corporate (24xx) vs personal (25xx) notice-code separation client-side · HTML content already stripped for you.
⚙️ Automation = money	monitor + daily schedule = a winding-up-petition radar for insolvency practitioners, credit teams and law firms — the exact trigger they prospect on.
🧠 AI-agent cheap	$0.001 start + $0.001 per notice. A daily nationwide watch ≈ $0.25/day.
🌍 UK = the world's insolvency market	UK company failures are a tracked trading signal for suppliers, factors and banks.

💡 Corporate vs personal, separated: notice code prefixes — 24 = corporate insolvency events · 2443 = winding-up petitions (the hour it happens) · 25 = personal bankruptcies. Filter exactly the number you sell.
