I built an “HR Director Pro” prompt for my company to handle structured hiring, performance management frameworks, role scorecards, and internal accountability systems.It’s been surprisingly effective.

The market is more selective than it looks.

Additionally, what methods have you found effective for identifying trends and collecting reliable demand data — whether through surveys, market observation, or direct customer feedback?

We start with landlord-friendly market selection and strong rent-to-price ratios.

I would select a landlord friendly state (NH?)

Once the seller submits their address, the backend instantly pulls the market price.Here is where the custom logic kicks in:It automatically calculates repair costs based on property data, seller-inputted condition, and location.It classifies the property into one of 4 market temperatures: Slow, Rural, Standard, or Hot.Using this data and your specific backend rules, it dynamically selects the proper ARV percentage, deducts your preset assignment fee, and calculates a precise cash offer (e.g., 68% * ARV - Repair Costs - Assignment Fee).2.

I guess the Dunning-Kruger effect comes into play here, and sorry in advance if this sounds harsh.
