01 / Discovery desk

Discovery to evidence

Start with a topic you know or discover one from current search attention, then follow the same path into cited findings.

01Known-topic research

One action saves the brief and starts research.

Known topic

Research a bounded niche

Name the niche you want read — for example, Cairn buyer language — and get pain points, objections, workarounds, competitor mentions, and verbatim audience words with citations.

Research sources

Reddit and YouTube are selected by default. Instagram and TikTok remain optional while hosted access is being repaired.

Submit up to five related topics. Bounty creates and immediately starts one persisted run, then preserves explicit source gaps.

02Live trend scan

Explicit action only. Search attention is not a finding.

Emerging trends

Use this when you do not yet know which topics matter. Choose Google Trends only, or add root-post triage for up to 20 category-balanced topics across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit.

  1. 01Choose a countryThis sets the search market.
  2. 02Start balancedNo growth number is required. Choose an area only when you already have a focus.
  3. 03Find, then researchSelect up to five useful topics, then press Research these topics for cited evidence.

Search activity is a discovery signal, not evidence. Missing metrics are shown as unavailable, not zero. Bounty does not ask you to guess a growth threshold.

Find these topics?

Returned topicsUp to 50
Social triageUp to 20 topics when selected

The scan reads the current Google Trends window for the selected country. Optional public-post triage inspects root posts across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit. It does not read threads or create findings, and source failures remain explicit.
