// Find WordPress + WooCommerce sites
const leads = results.filter(site => 
  site.cms.includes('wordpress') && 
  site.ecommerce.includes('woocommerce')
);

3. Market Research

Analyze technology adoption trends across industries.

// Calculate framework popularity
const frameworkStats = {};
results.forEach(site => {
  site.frontend_frameworks.forEach(fw => {
    frameworkStats[fw] = (frameworkStats[fw] || 0) + 1;
  });
});

4. Technical Audits

Audit multiple sites for technology stack documentation.

5. Migration Planning

Identify sites that need technology upgrades or migrations.
