## Notice

To deliver on this vision, the platform must be able to provide full analytics on: * Markets: The market landscape, market size and key players competing in this space. o NICA track behaviours across-category, so we might want to highlight key market sectors to begin with. * Trends: Existing and emerging innovations that fit with our areas of interest - keeping the data monitored over time as a permanent source of observation. o NICA have developed a domain framework, which would need to be integrated. * Behaviours: End-user insights to gauge appetite for and acceptability of existing solutions and identify opportunity gaps. o NICA have developed coded behaviours as part of our ontology requiring semantic search - keeping the data monitored over time as a permanent source of observation. The platform must also be configurable to include a suggested list of data sources (1,000 - 2,000 including but not limited to; stocks, companies, organisations and thought leaders) and have the capability to embed data visualisations from an external API / source, which will be fuelled by internal activity with our VOICE community.
