Analysis requirements:
1. Define the market precisely by:
- product or service;
- customer;
- use case;
- geography;
- channel;
- price point;
- time period; and
- inclusion or exclusion criteria.
2. Distinguish:
- TAM;
- serviceable available market;
- serviceable obtainable market;
- current served market;
- replacement demand;
- new adoption; and
- expansion revenue.
3. Build bottom-up market equations using:
- number of customers;
- units per customer;
- usage frequency;
- average selling price;
- replacement cycle;
- penetration;
- retention;
- cross-sell;
- capacity; and
- geographic rollout.
4. Segment the market by relevant customer, product, geography, channel, or use-case categories.
5. Avoid double counting across overlapping segments.
6. Build current, medium-term, and long-term market estimates.
7. Develop downside, base, and upside adoption scenarios.
8. Reconcile bottom-up estimates with supplied top-down industry data.
9. Identify differences caused by:
- definition;
- price;
- penetration;
- customer count;
- channel;
- geography;
- replacement cycle; or
- timing.
10. Assess whether the company has sufficient capacity, distribution, capital, product readiness, and sales capability to address the opportunity.
11. Estimate implied market share under the company’s forecast.
12. Identify assumptions with the highest valuation and thesis sensitivity.
13. Do not invent customer counts, prices, adoption, market growth, penetration, or external-source data.
14. Record source dates and distinguish estimates from verified facts.
Present the result as:
{{output_format}}
Include:
- market definition;
- TAM, SAM, and SOM equations;
- segment-level market table;
- customer and unit assumptions;
- adoption scenarios;
- current and future market estimates;
- top-down reconciliation;
- implied market share;
- capacity and execution constraints;
- sensitivity analysis;
- source and data-quality note; and
- investment implications.
Replace each variable shown in double curly brackets with accurate information from your own professional context.
{{company_product}}
Example: Example: Cloud-based hospital workflow platform
Identify the company, product, or service being evaluated.
{{market_definition}}
Example: Define customers, use cases, products, geographies, channels, and exclusions.
A precise definition prevents inflated or irrelevant market estimates.
{{customer_unit_data}}
Example: Provide customer counts, locations, units, users, transactions, beds, stores, devices, or other relevant units.
Use granular bottom-up units rather than broad industry revenue alone.
{{pricing_usage}}
Example: Provide price, usage, frequency, contract value, replacement cycle, and cross-sell assumptions.
Use consistent pricing bases across segments.
{{geography_channels}}
Example: Describe countries, regions, direct sales, distributors, online channels, and rollout timing.
Geographic and channel scope affects both addressability and timing.
{{adoption_capacity}}
Example: Provide adoption curves, penetration, churn, sales capacity, production capacity, and rollout limits.
Separate market opportunity from the company’s ability to capture it.
{{source_data}}
Example: Provide source names, dates, industry reports, regulatory data, and top-down market estimates.
Use current, attributable, and comparable external evidence.
{{output_format}}
Choose the format required for research, strategy, or model construction.
