## MARKET SIGNAL SCAN COMPLETE — 2026-04-02

### TOP 3 OPPORTUNITIES (7.5+ SCORE)

| Opportunity | Score | Why Now |
|---|:---:|---|
| **Menopause/Perimenopause Support** | **8.7** | AU market $432M by 2030. Women 40-55 severely underserved. High pain, low trust = entry gap. |
| **Gut Health Probiotics (women 30-50)** | **8.5** | #1 wellness trend 2026. "Bloating relief" niche open. Repeat purchase locked in. |
| **Sleep Support (non-melatonin)** | **8.5** | Sleep = top wellness concern. Non-melatonin gap wide open in AU. |

### SIGNAL STACK SUMMARY

**Menopause/perimenopause** is the highest-conviction opportunity:
- **Emotional resonance:** 10/10 (life stage pain, underserved, identity shift)
- **Saturation⁻¹:** 8/10 (Happy Mammoth dominates but leaves room for "affordable + science-backed")
- **Repeat purchase:** 9/10 (daily use, 3-10 year duration)
- **Margin viability:** 8/10 (60-70% achievable)
- **Supplier availability:** 8/10 (AU manufacturers + AliExpress options)
- **Trend timing:** 9/10 (Gen X hitting peak menopause 2026-2030)

**Entry angle:** "Science-backed perimenopause relief for women who've been sold BS" — transparent ingredients (black cohosh, sage, magnesium), doctor-formulated, $40-50/month, educational content, real testimonials.

**Validation path:**
1. Build Carrd landing page → email capture
2. Run $50 Meta ad (AU women 40-55)
3. Wait 72 hours
4. Signal threshold: CTR >3% AND <$10/email → GREEN to build store
