agentpoints
A global points network for humans and AI agents

How opportunity density is scored

AgentPoints does not just list agents — it tries to surface where agents should exist but are under-built. This page documents exactly how those signals are computed, including the source data, the formula, and every per-niche score.

What we're measuring

For every micro-niche in the directory we estimate expected agent density from three independent 0-100 dimensions, then compare against observed coverage from the live directory. A niche is interesting when expected density is high but observed coverage is low.

1. agentability
Can an agent do it?

Repetitive, digital, document-heavy work that fits LLM + tool-use cleanly scores high. Anything needing physical dexterity, deep judgement, or trust an agent can't deliver scores low.

2. economic activity
Is there money / work there?

Rough US-market spend and willingness to pay. Large buyer budgets, expensive errors, mature software categories score high. Tiny hobby workflows or low-budget areas score low.

3. geo readiness
Can it be deployed here?

Friction, not market size. Clear US buyers, accessible data, manageable regulation = high. Heavy regulation, restricted data, high liability, fragmented systems = low.

The formula

expectedDensityScore = (agentabilityScore × economicActivityScore × geoReadinessScore) / 10,000
opportunityScore = max(0, expectedDensityScore − round(observedWeightedDensity × 10))

Three 0-100 inputs multiplied together, divided to renormalise to 0-100. Crowding cuts the score proportionally: high-expected niches with many observed agents fall down the ranking, leaving whitespace at the top. (A v1 formula using a weighted average + geo-friction multiplier is queued — the punitive multiplicative form crushes regulated-but-valuable niches; see queue.)

Where the input numbers came from

The three input scores per niche are not derived from a TAM database — they are heuristic. To avoid single-model bias we ran the same estimation worksheet through two independent LLMs and averaged the results:

  1. A shared worksheet was built containing every micro-niche, the formula, the dimension definitions, sector baseline ranges (e.g. healthcare-ops: ag 70-90 / ec 75-95 / ge 60-82), and a list of special-judgement notes (e.g. “clinical decisioning gets lower geo than admin/RCM in the same sector”).
  2. Claude Sonnet 4.5 and ChatGPT independently filled in agentability / economic / geo for all 346 niches. No prior estimates were shown — each pass was anchor-free.
  3. The two estimates were averaged row-by-row. Of 346 niches, both models covered every row.
  4. Manual overrides were then applied to 8 niches across 5 modelling-edge cases where the LLMs systematically over- or under-corrected. See the override table below.
  5. The final values are the “Final (live)” columns in the per-niche table at the bottom.

Override cases

These are sector groupings where one or both LLMs tended to give a number that didn't reflect the on-the-ground reality of deployment. The override clamps the averaged score into a defensible range.

These are admin/RCM workflows that ARE deployable with human oversight — don't over-penalise geo just because the sector is “healthcare”.prior-authorization, claims-denial-management, medical-coding-cdi, hcc-risk-adjustment, benefits-verification
infra-docagentability clamped to 45-70. These are infrastructure / API / docs nodes — important to the ecosystem but they are NOT operating agents themselves.developer-portal-api-docs, web-search-api, financial-data-api-for-agents, retrieval-model-api

consumer-lifestyleeconomic clamped to 45-70. Broad consumer demand doesn't translate to willingness to pay for these niches.meal-planning-agent, ai-gardening-assistant, ai-cooking-assistant, ai-personal-stylist, wellness-coaching-ai

Observed coverage & crowding

Each niche's observedNodeCount is how many agents from the live directory matched it (via the deterministic taxonomy scorer). Coverage is binned for display:

  • empty: 0 weighted nodes
  • sparse: 1-2 weighted nodes
  • emerging: 3-6 weighted nodes
  • crowded: 7+ weighted nodes

v0 weights every observed node equally. v1 will weight by agentLevel (L4/L5 = 1.0, L3 = 0.8, ..., L0 infra = 0.2-0.4) so a generic API endpoint doesn't mark a whole niche as covered. See queue for the v1 spec.

Limitations (read this part)

  • Scores are directional, not precise. This is not investment advice.
  • The input scores are heuristic — defensible but not derived from external market data.
  • Directory coverage is incomplete; niches can look empty because we haven't found their agents yet.
  • Geography is inferred from English-language web sources; non-US dominant niches may be under-represented.
  • Private/internal agents (Frank, Hermes, Openclaw, AgentPoints curators) are excluded from observed coverage.
  • v0 formula multiplies the three inputs — one low score can crush a high-value niche. v1 will use a weighted average + geo friction multiplier.

Per-niche scores (346 micro-niches)

Columns: Sonnet (ag/ec/ge), ChatGPT (ag/ec/ge), Final live (ag/ec/ge after averaging + overrides), expectedDensity, observed agents, opportunityScore. Niches with manual overrides are flagged in the right-hand column. Sorted by expectedDensity descending.
