What "niche-specific" actually means for business templates (and why generic ones cost you time)

Open any UK template marketplace and search for "hairdresser invoice template." You'll get a few hundred results. Almost all of them are the same generic invoice with the word "hairdresser" added to the header. The categories are generic ("description", "amount", "subtotal"). The fields are generic. The footer is generic.

The phrase "niche-specific" gets thrown around so much that it's lost most of its meaning. For a template to genuinely qualify as niche-specific, the contents have to differ in ways that match how that trade actually operates. The header label is the easy part and the least useful part.
