How we calculate it
Pitchdar runs a daily scrape + score engine across local-business niches and cities. For every business we consider, we score its fit 1-100 using public reviews and a niche-pain heuristic. This report aggregates the last 92 days of that data — no business names, no personal info, just counts and averages.
