# Day 1 — Use Claude to select a validated market

## Action
Prompt [[entity-product-claude]] with the 4 market criteria to generate 3 validated B2B niche recommendations.

## Step-by-Step
1. Open Claude.
2. Provide a structured prompt detailing the 4 non-negotiable criteria from [[framework-4-market-criteria]] and [[concept-4-market-criteria]]:
   - Proof of Concept (other agencies already winning)
   - TAM > 10,000 prospect businesses
   - High Ticket ($500+ per transaction or strong recurring revenue)
   - Growing Market (YoY growth)
3. Include your **personal context/budget** (skills, capital available, geography).
4. Ask Claude to output **3 ranked market recommendations** with reasoning.

## Expected Outcome
A validated niche (e.g., Med Spas) to target, preventing months of wasted research. Avoids the [[concept-decisiveness-over-perfection]] trap.

## Where This Fits
Day 1 of [[framework-7-day-agency-roadmap]].
