✋ Do this

Ask Claude: 'What should I find out about my competitors before starting this service?' Take its list of questions — not its answers about your town, which it cannot know.
Walk out with that list. Visit two people already doing something similar — the printing shop, the older student, the stall next door. Ask politely and write real numbers: what they charge, how long they take, what they refuse to do.
Where Claude guessed a price or a fact about your area, write GUESS next to it. Where a real person told you, write CHECKED. Count both columns.
Find the gap: what do all of them do badly or refuse to do? That gap is where a newcomer with no money can win.
Update your four boxes from module two with the real numbers you collected. Cross out the old ones, do not erase them — you want to see how wrong you were.
Write one paragraph: why a customer would choose me over the two people I visited.

💡 Why it works

Claude was trained on text, so it is strong on general patterns and weak on this week's prices at your market. Used correctly it is a question generator and a thinking partner, and the field work stays yours. Mislabelling a guess as a fact is how young businesses set prices that quietly lose money for months.

🔥 Challenge

Come back with three real prices written in ink and the name of the person who told you each one.
