Internal SaaS Tool for Publishing Niche Identification

Develop a proprietary, internal SaaS tool similar to 'Publisher Rocket' but not for commercial sale. This tool would analyze Kindle Direct Publishing data (search volume, book count, sales, keyword competition) to quickly identify and capitalize on underserved subgenres where demand significantly outweighs supply, providing a strategic 'arbitrage' advantage for an associated publishing house.
