## Example

**Question:** Do solo authors get paid for online yoga courses, or only big schools?

**Megido calls:**

- `search_cohorts`: 1 niche
- `get_cohort`: distributions, sample of 3

**Answer:**

Small players get paid. **Online yoga education platforms** is a niche of 50–199 products with observed revenue, and 79% of them get 500–15k visits a month; 7% get over 75k. Its three most typical members are online schools: an academy for inclusive yoga (Spain), a registered teacher-training school (United States) and an evidence-based yoga school (France).

Real data from the corpus, as of August 2026.
