PIMGE Scoring

Each opportunity is scored across 5 dimensions (0-20 each):

• Pain (P): How urgent/painful is the problem?
• Innovation (I): How novel is the solution approach?
• Market (M): How large/accessible is the market?
• Gap (G): How underserved is this opportunity?
• Execution (E): How feasible is this to build?

Total Score: 0-100

Decisions:

• GO (70-100): Strong opportunity, validated
• WAIT (50-69): Needs refinement or timing isn't right
• KILL (0-49): Oversaturated or weak fundamentals

Use Cases

• Validate product ideas before investing time/money
• Research market gaps across multiple platforms
• Competitive analysis for existing products
• Opportunity discovery in specific niches

Environment Variables

Required:

• OPENAI_API_KEY: For PIMGE analysis

Optional (for enhanced scraping):

• Database credentials if connecting to existing OREXIA instance
