Run it where you already evaluate deals.

Acquisition-diligence has real willingness-to-pay — the constraint is reachability, not demand. So we meet buyers inside their existing flow rather than chasing organic traffic.

The play

1. Marketplace-adjacent teaser. For a listed business on Acquire.com / Flippa / BizBuySell, a buyer pastes the name into the free quick scan and gets a go/caution/stop verdict in seconds. The verdict is the hook; the sourced detail is the paid brief.
2. Reach buyers in their channels. Search-fund / micro-PE communities (SMB Twitter/X, r/search_fund, ETA newsletters, Acquiring Minds listeners, the marketplace's own buyer Slack/Discord). Offer: "free distress scan on any listing you're considering — DM the name."
3. Broker / lender side. Business brokers and SBA lenders want a fast pre-screen before they spend time. Same brief, decision-support framing.
4. Agent channel (x402/MCP). Diligence agents that triage deal flow call diligence_brief directly and pay per target — zero human funnel.

Why flat data-licensing (compliance)

We sell a per-target public-data signal at a flat price — not a transaction-contingent finder fee. That keeps a solo operator clear of US business-brokerage / debt-recovery licensing, and we never resell personal contact data (GDPR). Every brief is "informational; verify independently."

Honest demand read

Buyers absolutely pay for diligence — quality-of-earnings reports run $5k–$25k. A $29 public-signal pre-screen is a different, earlier job: it tells a buyer whether a target is worth starting diligence on. The real bottleneck is distribution: you must be present at the moment a buyer is staring at a listing. The marketplaces + ETA communities are that moment. Conversion depends on showing a non-obvious flag (a recall, a quiet bankruptcy) the listing hid — that's the demo that sells.
