# A listing hides its domain. Is the lot's niche shrinking?

> The niche behind a listing's description, with how many of its sites are growing or declining.

**Who asks:** Buyer deciding whether to sign an NDA

## Example

**Question:** A listing before NDA says «aquarium supplies store, US». Is this niche alive right now?

**Megido calls:**

- `search_cohorts`: 1 niche
- `get_cohort`: distributions

**Answer:**

More sites are declining than growing. **Aquarium, reptile, and pond supplies stores** holds 200–999 stores with observed revenue; 38% are growing and 39% are declining. 41% get 3k–15k visits a month and 33% get 15k–75k. The United States leads with 16%.

Real data from the corpus, as of August 2026. Growth compares the latest month with the one before.

## How your agent answers

1. `search_cohorts` matched the listing's description to a niche.
2. `get_cohort` returned which way its members are moving and how they split by scale and country.

## Where it stops

This is one month, not a trend, and it describes the niche, not the lot. Sites that earn only from ads or affiliate links are not in the corpus.
