# Demand Radar: Spreadsheet Cleanup

Updated: 2026-06-07

Purpose: track real public demand signals for the spreadsheet cleanup offer. This is not proof of revenue. Revenue is only proven after a real order/payment row passes `npm run audit:revenue`.

## What The Market Is Asking For

Public job boards show recurring demand for:

- Excel and CSV data cleanup
- Duplicate removal
- Header and format standardization
- Date and label normalization
- Blank or invalid value review
- Formula repair and basic report generation
- CRM/import-ready cleaned files
- Short summary or change report

These map directly to `spreadsheet-cleanup-offer.html`, `quote-calculator.html`, `csv-cleaner.html`, and `delivery-demo.html`.

## Best Immediate Demand Wedge

The strongest current wedge is:

> "I clean Excel/CSV files for CRM import, reporting, and analysis: duplicates removed, headers standardized, dates/formats normalized, blank values flagged, and a short change report included."

Use this because multiple public jobs explicitly ask for cleanup, duplicate removal, formatting consistency, formulas, and reports.

## Proposal Snippet For Fresh Freelancer-Style Jobs

Hi,

I can help clean and organize this workbook as a fixed-scope Excel/CSV cleanup.

I would focus on:

- Removing duplicate rows or duplicate IDs according to your rule
- Standardizing headers, dates, labels, and text formatting
- Flagging blank, invalid, or inconsistent values for review
- Preserving fields you do not want changed
- Returning a clean workbook plus a short summary of what changed

I can start with a sample file or a small diagnostic pass first, then confirm the exact fixed price and timeline before work begins.

No sales, revenue, or business outcome is promised; the deliverable is the cleaned file and report.

## Buyer Questions To Ask Before Quoting

1. How many files and approximate rows are included?
2. Is the final deliverable Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, or multiple files?
3. Which columns must stay unchanged?
4. Should duplicate removal be exact-row only, or based on email, phone, ID, name, or company?
5. Are date, currency, label, and formula rules already documented?
6. Do you need a short change report?
7. What deadline and payment channel apply?

## Quote Mapping

- Small single CSV, up to 1,000 rows: Basic, USD 49.
- One workbook or CSV, up to 5,000 rows, with short report: Standard, USD 99.
- Multiple sheets or up to 15,000 rows, with workflow notes: Premium, USD 199.
- Multi-workbook cleanup, formulas, Power Query, or custom validation: quote after sample review.

## External Action Boundary

I can identify public demand, write proposals, and prepare tracking rows here.

I cannot submit proposals, message buyers, accept platform terms, or receive escrow without authorized account access. Do not paste wallet payment instructions into platforms that require platform checkout or escrow.
