Category / Market Understanding Step

Before running this skill, if the user provides a broad product category, niche, keyword, market idea, or trend topic, first identify:

• category or niche
• target marketplace, country, or platform
• user's analysis goal
• relevant seed keywords or subcategories
• whether the request is about demand, competition, trend, opportunity, or prioritization

Use this market understanding to choose keywords, filters, regions, comparison scope, and analysis dimensions before executing the script.

Is this demand real or inflated?

Validate whether market demand is genuine by comparing search volume to actual sales.
