It sounds like this model and consulting business has potential. As has been pointed out, finding potential clients and marketing the value that you offer over free forecasts is key. I'd like to see how this model compares to the accuracy of traditional models. If it is more accurate and a potential client can be convinced that the cost of the consulting will provide enough of a return then it may take off. How much more accurate would a forecast have to be to make it worth the cost of the consulting services? In what specific ways would potential clients be able to use this information to improve their bottom line? Would agricultural businesses be able to use these forecast to predict water availability for the next growing season and adjust their crops to maximize outputs for the predicted water supply?
It's a good start, it just needs more details on how it can benefit potential clients.

You need to find out who can use this kind of research, who can use it in their own business. Find out who could make money from this kind of research and there's your audience.

Interesting but who would buy it? by: Anonymous
I liked the concept but for my needs, I can go to www.weather.com - who would benefit from this material? Once you find that audience, then market this to them.
