Origination / Market-Mapping - LMM

Hi guys

Can someone with PE experience please walk-through the process a mid-market / LMM fund takes to map niches and identify attractive sectors? A structured / methodological answer would be appreciated. 

I know there's dedicated Origination guys at funds that focus on this.

Thanks!
