# Industry Analysis You could start from large industries, identify their constraints, and then see what new knowledge could relax those constraints. This uses large industries as a proxy for impact, addressing constraint #1 from the fact that [[Leonardo Ideas can be systematically identified]] . Breaking the industry down addresses constraint #2 and then there is a matching problem for #3. There are several dangers to this strategy. You could run into constraints that are political or cultural. The technological constraints could be structural constraints with no good attack vector. **Practically this involves:** * Identifying high-value industries * Talking to industry experts about constraints * [[Constraint-mapping workshops]] * Asking [[Who has technical problems and how can you solve them?]] **Some Problems Include** [[You can’t track people and resources on oil rigs]] <!-- #evergreen --> [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Industry+Analysis) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Industry+Analysis)
