# Monopoly Niche Finder

Find intersection niches where you're the ONLY voice. Based on Peter Thiel's "competition is for losers", instead of fighting for market share in "AI tools" or "SaaS reviews," cross two domains to create a niche where you're the default authority. Example: "AI video tools for real estate agents", specific enough to own, broad enough to monetize.

## Stage

S1: Research, Finding your monopoly niche IS research. This happens before you pick a program, before you write content. It's the strategic foundation that makes everything downstream easier.

## When to Use

- User is starting out and hasn't picked a niche yet
- User is in a crowded niche and struggling with competition
- User wants a unique angle for affiliate marketing
- User says "monopoly", "blue ocean", "unique niche", "no competition"
- User has expertise in two domains and wants to combine them
- Before running `affiliate-program-search` to narrow the search space

## Input Schema

```yaml
domain_1: string              # OPTIONAL, first area of expertise/interest
                              # e.g., "real estate", "fitness", "accounting"
                              # Default: ask user

domain_2: string              # OPTIONAL, second area to cross with
                              # e.g., "AI tools", "no-code", "automation"
                              # Default: suggest options

existing_audience: string     # OPTIONAL, who already follows/reads you
                              # e.g., "small business owners", "developers"
                              # Default: none

monetization_goal: string     # OPTIONAL, "affiliate" | "info-product" | "both"
                              # Default: "affiliate"
```

## Workflow

### Step 1: Identify Domains

If domains not provided:
1. Ask user about their expertise, work experience, hobbies
2. Ask about their audience (if any)
3. Suggest 3-5 domain pairs based on their profile
