Business ideas
One-line
Speculative business / company ideas the author is considering building or testing. Each page describes one concrete business: what it sells, to whom, why it would work, what conditions it depends on, what would kill it.
How this folder differs from neighbours
06_ideas/— observed use-case patterns. How AI is actually being used on the ground today, anchored in ingested sources (Deloitte ERI, OECD SME). Descriptive.02_hypothesis/— research hypotheses about where value lands across the agentic AI stack. Project-paper-level claims (H1–H6) with evidence accumulation rules. Analytical.07_business-ideas/(this folder) — speculative businesses the author might build. Operator-facing. Prescriptive at the level of “could I do this thing.” Each page is a candidate company, not a research claim.
A business-idea page is the application of one or more hypotheses to a concrete operator move. It draws on the wiki for its premises and is allowed to be wrong — its job is to be sharp enough that the author can decide whether to invest his own time in it.
