​I scraped 48k court filings to find verified B2B ideas. Here are 3 niches bleeding money right now (Steal these)

I analyze regulatory signals to track “Unfair Gaps” — specific operational points where businesses are legally or structurally forced to lose money. Most founders look for “ideas”. I look for verified liabilities.

Here are 3 validated gaps from today’s analysis.

1. The “Customs Bottleneck” (International Trade)

Pain: Lost operational capacity and throughput from manual HS classification holds. The Unfair Gap: Opportunity cost equivalent to lost throughput. For large traders, misclassification-driven holds defer millions in goods from reaching markets, freezing capital on the water. Context: Classification depends on a small pool of human experts. When they are unavailable or make an error, it triggers customs inspections that reduce the effective capacity of ports and transport assets. Opportunity: Automated HS Classification API that interprets rulings and validates shipment manifests before they leave the warehouse.

2. The “Rework Tax” (Ambulance Services)

Pain: Rework and rebilling costs due to incomplete claim data (missing modifiers/mileage). The Unfair Gap: Rework costs $25–$50 per claim internally. For an agency with thousands of Medicare claims, this translates into six-figure annual losses in avoidable labor and delayed cash flow. Context: Medicare manuals demand strict adherence to origin/destination modifiers and mileage lines. Field documentation is often inconsistent, and errors are currently caught only after the payer denies the claim. Opportunity: A “Pre-Submission Scrubber” for CMS-1500 forms that validates specific ambulance modifiers against dispatch data.

3. The “Recall Drag” (Wholesale Alcohol)

Pain: Delayed cash collection due to manual recall credits and reconciliations. The Unfair Gap: Financing cost and working-capital drag equal to 1–3% of affected revenue annually. Wholesalers carry the cost of disputed balances while waiting for paper-based reconciliation. Context: Recall data (lots, quantities) is trapped in spreadsheets and emails. Wholesalers must reconcile inventory across the three-tier chain (Supplier -> Wholesaler -> Retailer) before they can settle accounts, which takes weeks. Opportunity: A centralized “Recall Reconciliation Platform” that automates credit issuance and regulatory reporting.

Summary I have a database of 3,700+ of these. I plan to share the best ones here regularly. Let me know in the comments which industry you want me to scan next (Construction? Real Estate? Energy?).
