Live market research for operators

Find the hole in the market. Then prove it.

Type the business you want to start. Ferret opens live search, Google News, Reddit, and competitor websites — then publishes a landing page that can collect real emails.

Start a huntSee the detectors
01

Hunt

One idea or five in parallel. Same market, same detectors, side-by-side verdicts.

02

Signals

Each detector fetches a real source. Expand the registry with your own probes.

03

Prove

A live landing page plus people who already asked in public. Emails only if they type them.

Signals, ranked by quality

Built-in detectors first. Custom probes later. Quality is how much a signal is allowed to move the verdict.

What actually happens

Each detector opens a live source and files what it found — names, URLs, prices, phones, posts. The site probe compiles operators and reads their booking pages. The demand lab publishes a page and stores public asks with links. We cannot dial a phone or buy ads from here.
