Finding business ideas in painful repeat work

can begin by looking for the boring tasks people hate doing again and again. The useful ions are what work they do, which task they dislike most, how often they do it, and why it is still manual. It also s whether they tried before and why it did not solve the problem.

Another key ion is how much better their day would be if that task disappeared tomorrow. The main idea is to look for specific, repeated frustration instead of exciting-sounding ideas.
