Method & caveats. Source: 30,000 US "investing" matching-terms (Ahrefs export). Real search volume pulled live from DataForSEO Google Ads (latest available month, May 2026). Difficulty (KD) and CPC from Ahrefs. Buyer-intent classification by 34 concurrent Sonnet agents into a fixed 7-bucket taxonomy + "none"; "closeable" judged conservatively. Aggregation & scoring in code (opportunity score = volume × low-KD factor × CPC factor).

Scope limits: US only, and only the 3,437 closeable queries out of 17,040 keywords that had volume — the DataForSEO balance ran out mid-fetch, so ~13k keywords remain unanalysed and other countries (GB/CA/AU/NZ/SG) are pending a top-up. Numbers reflect what's confirmed today.
