Execution difficulty
About this section
- What this shows
- What stands between you and the first sale: who buys, what permission selling needs, what it must plug into, and whether it needs outside money.
- Why it matters to a builder
- It tells you whether a small team can start selling soon, or needs a licence, a certification or funding first.
- How to read the score
- More points mean easier to enter: 3/3 is easy, 0/3 very hard. It is not added to the Opportunity total, and local competition does not count here: that is Market gap.
Moderate
Makes it easier
- No licence is needed to sell this.
- The buyers already run trading and weighing software it can sit in.
- No Czech firm sells the contract side.
Makes it harder
- The first customers are commodity traders and processors with their own systems.
- The duty starts in 2028, so nobody is in a hurry yet.
Local competition does not change this level. It is covered under Market gap.
Suggested first moves
- Build a contract generator for one crop and one collection point, and give it to a mid-size grain buyer for the coming harvest.
- Call the purchasing managers at fruit and vegetable collection points.
- Sell the cooperative route as the second product.

Suggested first moves
About this section
- What this shows
- A few concrete steps to start with.
- Why it matters to a builder
- They are cheap ways to learn whether buyers will pay, before you build much.
- Build a contract generator for one crop and one collection point, and give it to a mid-size grain buyer for the coming harvest. Take that buyer's own purchase terms, turn them into a contract that names the price rule, the quantity, the quality deductions and the payment period, and let the farmer sign it on a phone before the first load arrives. The buyer keeps its process; you own the document.
- Call the purchasing managers at fruit and vegetable collection points. They are the part of the chain the competition office found buying with no prior contract at all, as The opportunity shows, so they have the furthest to travel and the least in place. Ask what they send a grower today, and who writes it.
- Sell the cooperative route as the second product. A cooperative whose statutes set transparent, democratically decided price rules needs no contract with each member, as Why now explains, so the statute rewrite and the member price rules are a service a lawyer and a developer can sell together.
- Ask each buyer what the paperwork costs it in staff time over one harvest. Those answers are the price nobody has on record yet; see Willing to pay.
