One business concept · One primary target market · One written follow-up question

The internet sells the possibility. We inspect the reality.

We fact-check the fantasy before you fund it.

THE CLAIM“Make $20K a month with two vans.”

THE BUREAU ASKSWho pays? At what margin? How often? What did the claim leave out?

THE RESULTEvidence, math, barriers, risks—and a verdict you can actually use.

What the Bureau investigates

Not a generic report. A decision file.

We focus the research around the business you are considering, the market you want to enter, and the question you most need answered.

Executive Finding

The answer up front: what we found and what it means.

The Opportunity

The problem, the service, and why the market pays for it.

Who Actually Pays?

The economic buyer, user, influencer, and decision-maker.

Demand Check

Evidence of need, durability, seasonality, and local dependence.

Money Model

Pricing structures, major costs, recurring potential, and margin realities.

Entry Barriers

Licensing, insurance, equipment, staffing, contracts, and capabilities.

Competitive Reality

Who already serves the market, substitutes, and potential gaps.

Bureau Flags

The things opportunity sellers, viral videos, and surface-level research tend to omit.

Claim Check

If you bring us an income or success claim, we pressure-test it.

The 5 First Moves

The five actions we would take before committing serious money.

The Bureau Verdict

We won’t bury the answer.

Your investigation ends with a clear decision signal, the reasoning behind it, and what evidence could change the call.

● PURSUE

The evidence is strong enough to justify the next validation step.

● PROCEED WITH CAUTION

The opportunity exists, but important conditions need to work.

● PASS

The current economics, barriers, or market evidence do not justify further investment.
