In simple terms
Demand is not interest in a conversation; it is a verifiable need at a specific price, place, time and access condition. The factory collects data about users, alternatives, prices and constraints, shows what is confirmed and what is a hypothesis, and proposes a small next step that reduces uncertainty.
Who it helps
Residents, cooperatives, small businesses, developers, universities, municipalities, regional and national bodies.

How quality is checked
Every indicator has a source, date, definition and sampling method; facts are separated from conclusions. A small convenient survey is never presented as the opinion of a whole population.
Three example requests
Village
“Do dairy farmers need a shared milk-cooling point?”
City
“Will an evening retraining programme be in demand?”
Region or country
“Which goods require a new logistics hub?”
