## What does it do?

An Innovation Manager must aim innovation at real markets and unmet needs, not just interesting tech.

This agent researches it: it sizes and analyzes the target markets, surfaces unmet needs and white space, and ties findings to the innovation question — so ideas are validated against demand.

## Benefits

- Target markets sized.
- Unmet needs surfaced.
- White space identified.
