🔁 What pattern recognition gives you
375 opportunities is too many to read one by one. This tab compresses them into the recurring shapes behind them — so your team picks one shape and ships one app to many markets.
A. Country archetypes — data-driven groups of markets that behave alike
174 countries clustered into 10 groups by their actual app-mix (KMeans on the country × app weighted-presence matrix). Each archetype gets a name from its dominant geography + income tier, member countries, and the apps that are most over-represented in this cluster vs. the rest of the world.

14 countriesB. Recurring opportunity themes — build one app, ship to N markets
Every opportunity gets grouped by (strategy, category, target archetype). Groups with ≥ 3 members are recurring shapes. Read this as: "your team can build one app of this kind and ship it across the N markets listed."
