What is Scoutway AI?

Scoutway AI surfaces underserved local business opportunities — the requests, complaints, and searches in your area that no one is serving yet — and turns each gap into a step-by-step launch playbook tuned to your budget, skills, and city.

How does it find these opportunities?

It draws on real public demand signals. During our research preview, each opportunity is curated by hand from public-signal research rather than fully automated scanning, so quality stays high while the radar grows.

Is Scoutway AI free?

Yes. The Scout plan is free forever and includes one personalized signal a week with its full launch playbook. Paid plans (Operator and Founder) unlock more signals each week and deeper features.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. Creating a free Scout account takes about a minute and never asks for a card. You only add payment if you choose to upgrade.

What is the difference between the plans?

Scout (free) gives you one new opportunity a week with full playbook access. Operator ($7/month) unlocks 3–5 opportunities a week with geo-personalized playbooks and saved tracking. Founder ($24/month) unlocks every signal instantly with the deepest evidence and PDF exports.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account's billing settings whenever you like. You keep access to your paid features through the end of the period you already paid for, and you never lose your saved signals, workspace, or progress.

Is this financial or business advice?

No. Scoutway AI is a research and informational tool, not professional legal, tax, financial, or licensing advice. Revenue ranges are directional, not guarantees — starting a business is real work and real risk.

How current is the opportunity data?

The radar is refreshed regularly and new signals are added over time. The Trending view shows what is moving right now.

How do I get more signals?

Upgrade to Operator or Founder from your account page for more opportunities each week and instant access to the full radar.
