Included in the plan

One paid desk for signal, proof, and next action.

The subscription is built around the source signal, buyer clarity, TAM framing, and a first wedge. The archive, Labs, Tender Lab, and grants surfaces then help you decide whether an idea deserves real validation work.

3-5 briefs per morning

Short enough to scan before work, detailed enough to decide what deserves a test.

Day 1 archive and Labs access

The subscription unlocks the working surfaces immediately after checkout.

4 decision surfaces

Digest, archive, Labs, and public-signal tools stay tied to the same opportunity workflow.

Subscription value

What the subscription gives you after checkout

Skim HQ is not only an email. It is a workflow for finding a signal, checking whether the market has proof, and turning one idea into a test you can actually run.

Signal

Start with sourced demand, not blank-page brainstorming

Each digest brief shows the source signal, buyer, first wedge, timing reason, and the risk that could make the idea weak.

Daily research deskBuyer and wedge framingWhy-now and risk notes
Archive

Use the archive as a private opportunity database

Search older briefs, spot repeated buyer pain, and compare today's idea against past markets before spending build time.

Labs

Move from interesting signal to a testable decision

Labs turns ideas into assumptions, validation plans, evidence scorecards, and learning logs so you can continue, pivot, or kill faster.

Assumption draftsExperiment pathsEvidence scorecards
Public signals

Add tenders and grants when market proof matters

Tender Lab and grant-backed seeds show where institutions already spend, publish needs, or fund implementation work.

How value compounds

Read, compare, validate, monitor.

The plan is useful when each surface narrows the decision instead of adding more research debt.

01
Read the morning desk

Pick one idea where the buyer, pain, and timing match something you can reach.

02
Compare against the archive

Look for repeated demand, adjacent markets, older failed angles, and stronger proof.

03
Open Labs

Convert the idea into assumptions, outreach, experiments, and a decision scorecard.

04
Track tenders and grants

Use official demand and funding lanes to decide whether the market is worth a deeper test.
