It's an interesting prompt, and I will give it a try on a specific industry/niche I am working on.
My expectations are this is more just for fun and if lucky, there might be one or two 'interesting' insights in there, but not the groundbreaking insights you are looking to pull out of it.
For me, this is key and a big takeaway. To actually 'see', you have to be doing something over and over and over again. One-off data points aren't especially useful here, which is why taking action repeatedly wins out over research.
I can tell you about 100 people from my gym I can probably rank them fairly accurately on who will see the most results & success in 2026.
That is "seeing" - prediction wouldn't be based on their current aesthetics. Rather, the energy you feel when you're around them, who chats a lot, who is always in there at 5am, who has that 'x' factor go-getter energy, etc. You tie together many different signals and data points to inform an opinion, and there isn't one or two "secret INSIDERS knowledge" data points that could tell you something more valuable.
Synthesize info over time -> process -> output
Same logic can be used for entrepreneurship, whether that's a venture capitalist, angel investor, or bootstrapped fastlaner.
The prompt takes the position that there is special insider knowledge being hoarded. That special insider knowledge comes from info + process over time, and even if you do reveal some gems, you need to be in the grind and your "RAS" (reticular activation system) needs to be honed in to use it (to see, not just look).
