Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Contract Opportunities tool
Use contract-opportunities to evaluate 4 potential markets: UK healthcare IT, EU defense IT, US federal cybersecurity, and World Bank infrastructure. Compare opportunity volume, competitive density, and buyer openness. Rank by attractiveness for a mid-market consultancy.

  • Use consistent scoring criteria across markets for fair comparison.
  • Run as a quarterly exercise to catch shifts in market attractiveness.
  • Focus deeper research on the top 2 markets rather than spreading effort across all.
