Station 2 is where the actual research happens: what's the niche worth, what format is the algorithm currently rewarding, and where are viewers genuinely unsatisfied. Checked together, not in isolation.
Station 2 (Market & Signals Radar) scans 120 niches across 50 countries. The recommended sequence, also used as the worked example on the main /features page, is: check RPM Intelligence first to rule out low-paying niches, then run Content Gap Analysis and Outlier Detection on your shortlist to see where viewers are unsatisfied and what format is currently being rewarded.
RPM Intelligence: is this niche worth the production time at all (S-Tier $15-55 down to D-Tier under $2.50)
Content Gap Analysis: are viewers of the top-ranking videos in this niche actually satisfied, or is there a real, comment-verified gap
Outlier Detection: what title/thumbnail/format is the algorithm currently pushing for small channels in this niche
None of these three checks require SAGE or a paid plan — all three are included on Free
This rules out a low-paying niche before you spend any more research time on it.
Up to 8 keywords per scan — looks for a genuine, comment-verified mismatch between search demand and viewer satisfaction, not just search volume.
Shows what format small channels are currently breaking out with — the actual content brief, not a guess.
Do I have to check all three signals every time?
RPM Intelligence first is the recommended minimum — it's the fastest way to rule out a niche that isn't worth the time. Content Gap Analysis and Outlier Detection add real confirmation once a niche clears that first check.
Is this the same worked example as the main Features page?
Yes — this step mirrors the exact RPM → gap → outlier sequence described on /features, applied here as an actual first-time workflow rather than just an explanation.
