🔁 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.
