Market Intelligence Strategist — Rank Global Market Inefficiencies (US + Japan First)

I'm an operator with 20 years in entertainment ticket arbitrage. I'm not hiring for a generic business plan — I'm hunting the next market inefficiency to work, and I need a strategist to rank the options with evidence.

The job: research and RANK market inefficiencies (US and Japan first, global scope after) by four criteria — size of the edge/spread, capital required to enter, speed to first cash, and how long the edge lasts before it closes. AI revenue automation is one candidate vehicle, not a predetermined answer. Revenue production is the only scoreboard.

Deliverable (fixed scope, one report): a ranked table of candidates, plus a deep section on each of the top 5 — why the inefficiency persists, exact entry mechanics, first-30-days steps, capital needed, and risks — with sources cited.

Terms: fixed-price milestone agreed before you start, funded in escrow, released by me manually on delivery. My rate cap is $20/hr equivalent — bids above it are ignored, so price the deliverable, not the meter.

Proof or don't bid: link samples of market research, opportunity analysis, or go-to-market strategy work you have actually delivered (redacted is fine). In your bid, answer in a few lines: (1) which inefficiency you would investigate first and why, (2) your fixed price for the deliverable, (3) when you can start.
