Assignment Brief

Objective:
Conduct research to identify a niche industry or sector in which product or service information is poorly represented or unavailable online. Analyze the causes behind this lack of visibility, assess the impact on the industry stakeholders, and propose a solution—such as a comprehensive directory or marketplace—that can bridge this gap and provide value to all participants.

Deliverables: A Structured Report Covering the Following Points
1. Identified Industry or Sector
  • Clearly name and describe the niche industry or sector you have chosen.
  • Provide basic context: size, geographic concentration (if any), and importance.
2. Current Online Presence
  • Describe the existing state of online visibility for this sector.
  • Evaluate how products, services, businesses, or professionals are currently presented (or not presented) online.
3. Key Gaps and Challenges
  • What specific types of information are missing? (e.g., product catalogs, technical specs, service details, pricing, contact data)
  • What are the root causes behind this lack of information? (e.g., digital illiteracy, fragmentation, language barriers, low margins, legacy systems)
4. Impact on the Ecosystem
  • How does the lack of online presence affect manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, and customers?
  • Are there missed business opportunities, inefficiencies, or competitive disadvantages?
5. Proposed Solution
  • What kind of digital platform or service can address these gaps? (e.g., searchable directory, structured data portal, B2B marketplace, affiliate discovery engine)
  • Outline features and functions that would make it useful for all stakeholders.
  • Discuss how it can generate value for both users and platform creators (e.g., monetization models, traffic strategies, partnerships).
Note: Your final submission should be clear, actionable, and data-backed wherever possible. Visuals (tables, screenshots, or mockups) are welcome if they help explain your findings.
