The Sweet Spot Process
If you need to know what is really driving demand now, and what to do with that insight.
I can help.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve built frameworks from live client briefs that turn social listening, search behaviour and market signals into commercially useful consumer insight. I’ve now built those frameworks into a proprietary AI tool, making the first read faster while keeping the thinking strategic.
