How we score it
Every category is ranked by an Opportunity Score: demand (search volume boosted by permit growth) weighed against competitor density, startup cost, and license difficulty. Fewer competitors and lower barriers relative to demand mean a higher score.
Say a category gets 500 monthly searches in a zip, with permits up 10% year over year: Demand Score = (500 x 1.10) / 100 = 5.5. With a $300 average job ticket, 10 competitors nearby, a $10k startup cost, and low license difficulty (1x): Opportunity Score = (5.5 x $300) / (10 x $10,000 x 1) x 100,000 = 1,650. Fewer competitors, a lower startup cost, or a bigger average job ticket relative to demand all push that number higher -- and higher wins.
