# Free Data Opportunity Miner

Find **free, legal, automatable** data loops—not crypto pump theater.

## When to Use
- Exploring agent businesses / Skill Bank offers
- Need a tracer-bullet dataset without paid keys

## Process
1. Search for public APIs, government open data, scrapable public indexes.
2. Prefer official open-data over brittle HTML.
3. Run one tiny live fetch (cap rows).
4. Document: source, license/TOS note, refresh cadence, agent steps.
5. Gate any “market” claims; label hypotheses vs measurements.

## NEVER
- Ignore ToS/robots for “just a scrape”
- Claim demand from a single fetch
- Store personal data from public dumps carelessly
