Economic Trends
1.     What?
Baby Boomers Aren't Retiring
A. where you found it (i.e., what the source of the information was that led you to form the belief about an opportunity)
B. what leads you to believe that this information suggests an opportunity might exist

With more people remaining in the work force means more opportunity for equipment or training to e provided.   

C. who do you think is most likely to be the customer with the opportunity (i.e., the prototypical customer)

This information leads me to believe that with so many elderly people still working there is opportunity to provide a resource to help them while at work whether it is will a back brace, helping with their other errands, or some sort of technology training for basic use.  

D. is the opportunity relatively easy or relatively difficult to exploit, and why do you think so?

I believe that as far as providing personal equipment for the aging population would have a medium difficultly level. I would have to find what is needed, discover how to advertise it

2.     What?
Climate Change Is Causing More Natural Disasters
A. where you found it (i.e., what the source of the information was that led you to form the belief about an opportunity)

B. what leads you to believe that this information suggests an opportunity might exist

Florida has so many hurricanes and certain places experience abnormal flooding. We are almost below sea or at sea level in certain places and the water is rising always over the years. With climate change occurring water is getting even higher to due to melting ice.

C. who do you think is most likely to be the customer with the opportunity (i.e., the prototypical customer)

I think the typical customer would be the owner of a home or resident that does not usually evacuate or have the chance to. There could be a small raft that compartment which can hold personal belongings or small pets. This raft could be almost enclosed for safety.

D. is the opportunity relatively easy or relatively difficult to exploit, and why do you think so?

I think this opportunity would be difficult because it could require an advance product that may have already been created. 

Regulatory Trends

Gun laws are becoming more strict

B. what leads you to believe that this information suggests an opportunity might exist

With more shootings and so much controversy on weapon safety I think there would be an opportunity creating a new gun lock, safe, fire arm with fingerprinted access, etc.

C. who do you think is most likely to be the customer with the opportunity (i.e., the prototypical customer)

Gun owners with children or gun owners who live with mentally ill people.
D. is the opportunity relatively easy or relatively difficult to exploit, and why do you think so?

I think it is difficult because it will require a new technology being affordable to the masses and it is difficult because most people who own guns have safes wouldn’t find it safe for emergencies to have an extra lock in their guns.  

4.     What?

The age for buying Jules if fighting to be pushed back to 21

A.    where you found it (i.e., what the source of the information was that led you to form the belief about an opportunity)

B. what leads you to believe that this information suggests an opportunity might exist

I believe that because kids are highly addicted to vaping they will struggle to quit it or just like alcohol find other means of securing it. I think an opoortunity to create would be a similar vape stick that is literally heated water and oil with no chemicals. So kids going through withdraw can have a none addictive tool to use.

C.     who do you think is most likely to be the customer with the opportunity (i.e., the prototypical customer)
The target customer would be people who currently vape under the age of 21 who will soon lose the power to buy vape sticks.

D. is the opportunity relatively easy or relatively difficult to exploit, and why do you think so?

I don’t think it will be that hard to sell once it has been created.

Why did you see the opportunity
1. Baby Boomers Aren't Retiring

I was able to see this opportunity because my grandma visited this week and she has retired and was speaking to me about her everyday life. My grandfather on the other hand is still welding metal in the shipyard and he is 68. To prevent injury of long ours to the feet and lower back it would be nice to provide or deliver goods to people like my grandfather.

2. Climate Change Is Causing More Natural Disasters

This opportunity seemed very applicable because living in Florida I have experienced hurricanes but the last one, Irma almost flooded my house. As I sat on my porch watching fish swim by, I felt kind helpless that if I need to get my animals and belonging out of my house, I would be out of luck.  So, having a device would give me piece of mind.

3. Gun laws are becoming more strict

As a gun owner I experienced waking in to a gun store at 18 (before federal law changed to 21) and walking our 30 minutes with a rifle. I believe that their needs to be more safety mechanisms in place in case someone gets one of my guns or when I have children, it is crucial they do not have access. This opportunity could save lives.
4. The age for buying Jules if fighting to be pushed back to 21
I do not joule or smoke but I believe that it is a market that is thriving because every kid I see consistently does or has at least done it once. I think it would be useful to increase the age but I don’t think it would be effective if some kids who are highly addicted don’t have something to fall back on to that isn’t that bad.
