The Net Gains IQ Competitive Intelligence Report

A verified competitor audit and local trade-area study tailored specifically for pickleball operators and investors.

The cover of a Competitive Intelligence Report: the market name, who it was prepared for, the number of facilities covered, the data as of date and the report reference.
A sample cover. Every report opens with the market, the facilities covered and the date the data was read.
Who it is for

Built to de-risk key business milestones

Every report is scoped to the decision in front of you, and bounded by what public data can honestly support. Here is who orders one, and where we draw the line.

Built for
Club owners and operators: Thinking about changing membership structures or repricing court rentals.
Facility developers: Choosing the optimal coordinates for a new site or finalizing a business plan before local municipal zoning.
Investors: Evaluating investment risks of funding a club franchise or acquiring an existing racquet sports club.
What is not included
Private member directories or list files.
Internal court booking schedules or customer details.
Competitor financial statements or revenue metrics.
Proprietary peak court utilization percentages.

Instead we work only from public sources, and every figure is re-checked at the page that published it before it enters your report.

Deliverables

What you receive in the report

Six parts, delivered as a print-ready PDF, every figure traced to a public source.

01

Competitor dossiers

One profile per analyzed facility: identification, court counts and surfaces, published hours, pricing and offers, programming types, and amenities. Every value carries the source it came from and a confidence label.

02

Position map and trade area

Every analyzed facility plotted with coordinates and distance from your site, alongside public court locations, and the Census trade-area profile for the market.

03

Pricing comparison

Court rental, drop-in, membership tiers and lessons, side by side across the analyzed set, reproduced exactly as each facility publishes them. A facility that posts no amount is shown as not found rather than estimated.

04

Programming coverage

Which program types each facility publishes, and which of the tracked types appear nowhere in the analyzed set. Measured against a fixed vocabulary, so the gaps are checkable.

05

Format mix and whitespace

How each facility positions itself by observable format, which formats are occupied, and which are not represented in the set. Classification against published evidence, never a ranking.

06

Coverage and open gaps

What the report could not find, named field by field and facility by facility, with the sources it searched. The report states its own coverage rather than leaving you to infer it.

Sample observed gap

What an observed gap actually looks like

Two formats are occupied across the analyzed set and three are not. Six of the eleven tracked program types appear nowhere. Five amenities each belong to exactly one facility, so a new operator faces a discrete choice at each one: match it and remove a differentiator, or leave it unmatched. That is a structural observation drawn from the published evidence, not a recommendation, and every figure behind it is sourced in the report.
