Why AI video editing comes first
It fits better on: what you like doing (22-point gap).
Local marketing does better on: location (5-point gap).
On the other aspects, they are tied.

The main risk with AI video editing
You must reach out: without steady outreach, no client arrives on their own.
Budget: CA$0–60 a month (CapCut or free DaVinci Resolve are enough at first).
The main risk with Local marketing
In-person or phone outreach is the only path: this model does not work from behind a screen.
Budget: CA$0–40 a month in tools, plus getting around.
How we calculate
Each aspect is worth points: what you like doing 22, time 14, contact 14, budget 12, timing 10, location 10, risk 10, stock 8. “Good fit” earns all of the aspect’s points, “Partial” half, “Watch out” 0.
The score measures how well your answers match what the business demands: it is not a chance of success nor an income forecast.
