Beginner friendly: Challenging

Starting a side hustle with the AI Supply Chain Carbon Footprint Tracker would be very difficult for the average beginner. This opportunity requires a deep understanding of AI technology, supply chain processes, and carbon footprint tracking, which most beginners do not possess. Additionally, setting up the necessary infrastructure and acquiring the relevant data sources can be complex and costly, with setup costs ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. Profits may not be realized for at least 6 to 12 months as it takes time to develop the AI model and establish credibility in the industry. Online resources may provide some guidance, but the specialized knowledge required makes it challenging for beginners to succeed. I'd rate it a 1 because of the high barriers to entry in terms of expertise, setup costs, and time to profit.
