Name a sector. You get its market size cross-checked three ways — how big it is (TAM), the slice you can serve (SAM), and what you could realistically win (SOM) — plus a competitor positioning map and a region-by-region regulatory read. Every figure is tied to a public source, and in your paid report each one is a specific, dated reference you can open. New to these terms? There's a plain-English glossary a scroll down. The free estimate below runs in ten seconds.
Real timeline, up front: the instant estimate is free and immediate; a commissioned report lands in about 5 business days (Snapshot) to ~10 (Full) from cleared payment — with a reply confirming scope within one business day of your brief. No overnight miracles; just a sourced number you can defend.
Never sized a market before? What your boss actually wants is a defensible market-size number — how big the sector is (TAM), the slice you can serve (SAM), and what you could realistically win (SOM) — with a public source behind every figure so no one can poke a hole in it. That's the whole deliverable.
Built and run by one operator who took a tech company public end to end through a full exchange listing, raised $50M+ across financings, and wrote reports exactly like this inside a corp-dev team — now productized behind a tested engine so you get the same structure without the retainer. You deal with that operator directly, start to finish. Flat fee. No success fees. Not investment advice.
Coverage is deepest in mobility, EV/AV, connected-vehicle, deep-tech, and Korea–Gulf cross-border sectors — but the method is sector-agnostic. Outside those, I confirm the request is one I can do to the standard on this page before any payment link goes out, and turn it down (no charge) if it isn't. So you never write a full brief only to find out it's not a fit.
This free demo is simplified for speed: it shows you the shape of the method — how top-down, bottom-up, and value-theory narrow to SAM/SOM — from one slider, so it's an order-of-magnitude ballpark. In your commissioned report each of the three methods is sourced separately from its own dated public data, so they genuinely cross-check each other and you get a real triangulated number (or a range when they disagree). Same method, real sources.
You'll see two TAM numbers on purpose. The first is the quick single-source guess most decks stop at; the second cross-checks it against two other methods and lands on the middle one — that's triangulation. They differ because one number from one source is easy to poke holes in; three that agree is what a board accepts. (TAM / SAM / SOM are defined on each row below, and in plain English in the glossary.)
This free widget is simplified for speed — it shows the shape of the method (top-down · bottom-up · value-theory → SAM/SOM narrowing) from one slider, so the number is an order-of-magnitude ballpark. Your commissioned report sources each method separately from its own dated public data, so the three genuinely cross-check and you get a real triangulated figure — or a range when they disagree. Not investment advice. Alternatives priced at Gartner/CB Insights $15K–80K/yr and boutique studies $20K+.
We'll send this estimate plus a 1-page market-sizing checklist you can run on any sector. No account, no sequence — one reply from a human.
Told to "size the market" with no background? You don't need the jargon to buy well — here's every term the rest of the page and the calculator use, defined once up front, so nothing below catches you off guard.
Total addressable market. The whole sector if everyone who could buy, did — the ceiling. Answers "how big is this, at most?"
Serviceable addressable market. The slice you can actually reach — your regions × your customer type. Answers "how much of that is really ours to go after?"
Serviceable obtainable market. The realistic revenue you could win in about three years. The number Finance underwrites.
Sizing the same market three independent ways — top-down, bottom-up, and value-theory — and only trusting a number when the three agree. If they disagree, you get a range, not a false point.
The fraction of a market one player realistically holds. A "plausible capture share" check flags any number that quietly assumes you win the whole sector.
What your boss actually wants is a defensible market-size number with a public source behind every figure — so no one can poke a hole in it. That's the whole deliverable. Full methodology →
Three steps to a report you can defend line by line, at a fraction of what the alternatives charge.
You name the sector, the boundary, and the regions. A one-sentence definition, the value chain, sub-segments, and the adjacent markets deliberately excluded — so the TAM is the sector, not the whole economy.
The engine triangulates top-down, bottom-up, and value-theory independently, reports a median with a stated spread, then narrows to SAM/SOM and projects forward — with five automated sanity checks gating the numbers.
A competitor matrix (including the status-quo row every committee asks about), a regional regulatory read, and a sourcing ledger that proves every required figure against an all-public-sources policy before it ships.

Open the full ~70-page worked sample → (fictional warehouse-robotics snapshot, clearly labelled illustrative — it shows the complete deliverable format; your paid tier is scoped to the depth you buy).
One thing to set expectations on before you open it: because the sample is illustrative, most sourcing-ledger rows show each figure's source class (e.g. "official statistics," "SEC/EDGAR S-1") rather than a live link. But so you can verify the sourcing promise isn't just words, two of the sizing anchors link straight to the real public dataset you'd open — US Census County Business Patterns and BLS wage statistics. In a paid report every row carries that specific, dated public reference you can open and hand to Legal. The math and the sourcing gate are identical either way.
The intake form takes about two minutes and captures a handful of public inputs. Every one drives a specific part of your report — so you're never handed a number you can't trace back to something you told us. Here's exactly how the fields map, using the four-region warehouse-robotics sample (a Full-tier example — the $900 Snapshot covers one region, so its regional read is a single geography, not the four shown below).

This worked example runs four regions to show every field in action — that's Full-tier scope. Your $900 Snapshot covers one sector, one region; pick Full ($2,400) when the decision spans multiple geographies or you need the hand-over model.
Here's exactly how buying works, so there are no surprises at checkout: you send a short brief first (no charge to submit), and within one business day you get back a payment link by email — card, VAT handled — or an invoice / PO on the larger tiers. There is no instant self-serve card checkout yet; every order goes through that one-step emailed link, and work starts once you've paid. No success fees, ever. How ordering works →
Every tier — including the $79 Template — is brief-first, human-reviewed, no instant card checkout yet: you send a short brief, get a payment link back within one business day, and pay before work starts. Not a self-serve download. See exactly how ordering works →
Not sure which to pick? Most first-timers start with the $900 Snapshot — one sector, one region, the full cited sizing. Go up to Full ($2,400) only if you need multiple regions or the hand-over model; the $79 Template is just the spreadsheet, for sizing it yourself. The table below matches a tier to what you're deciding. Outcome ranges are what the method produces — not a promise about your specific market.
| If you're… | Deciding on… | Fit | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analyst sizing your own market | An internal model you'll maintain | Template · $79 | The engine as a spreadsheet + sourcing guide — emailed within one business day of payment (not an instant download yet) |
| Corp-dev / strategy team | A single-sector entry or thesis | Snapshot · $900 | Triangulated TAM/SAM/SOM, competitor map, one-region regulatory read, every figure cited |
| Team weighing a cross-border bet | A multi-region build/buy or partnership case | Full · $2,400 | Multi-region analysis + the flexible sizing model + scenario ranges + methodology appendix |
| Independent consultant / advisor | A defensible backbone for a client deck | Snapshot or Full | A cited, sanity-checked sizing you can stand behind in the room |
The report exists to de-risk a decision far larger than its price — a market entry, a build/buy call, a board or partnership ask that moves budget in the hundreds of thousands to millions. Against a boutique research study at $20K+ or a Gartner/CB Insights subscription at $15K–80K a year, a $900 flat fee that cites every figure is one to two orders of magnitude cheaper for the same structural work. The calculator at the top of this page shows the value-at-stake versus the report price for your own inputs.
Yes — that's the entire design. Every headline number is triangulated three independent ways (top-down, bottom-up, value-theory) and reported only when the methods agree within a stated tolerance; a range is shown, not a false point, when they don't. Five automated sanity checks — funnel monotonicity, bottom-up inside the value pool, plausible capture share, cross-method price coherence, and a realistic near-term SOM — run before the report is allowed to ship. Every figure is tied to a public source: in your paid report that's a specific, dated reference you can open and hand to Legal; the free illustrative sample shows most figures' source class, plus two anchors linked to the real live dataset (Census CBP, BLS OEWS) so you can check the sourcing promise before paying (same math, same sourcing gate).
What makes it acceptable is the method, not a résumé: textbook triangulation (top-down / bottom-up / value-theory), a median reported only when the three agree within a stated tolerance and a range when they don't, five sanity gates that block impossible funnels and implausible capture shares, and a sourcing ledger you can hand to Legal — the exact points an investment committee probes. The operating background (took a company public end to end, raised $50M+, wrote these reports inside a corp-dev team) is why the structure matches what a corp-dev or strategy team already recognizes; the defensibility itself comes from the checks, which you can inspect in the sample and the methodology pages before you buy.
Corporate-development and strategy teams weighing a new sector or an M&A thesis, and independent consultants who need a defensible, cited backbone instead of a rushed weekend pull. Coverage is deepest in mobility, EV/AV, connected-vehicle, deep-tech, and Korea–Gulf cross-border. If a request is outside the wheelhouse and can't be done to the standard on this page, you're told before any payment link goes out — nothing is charged.
The Market Snapshot is delivered in about 5 business days from the day payment clears; the full report and its sizing model in about 10 business days, depending on region count and depth. A reusable deterministic engine handles the scaffolding and the arithmetic, so the human hours go into sourcing and judgment rather than formatting — which is exactly how the price stays flat and low.
Because the method is productized. The triangulation engine, the sanity checks, and the sourcing gate are code that runs the same way every time, so a single operator delivers consultant-grade structure without a consultant-grade team behind it. It's a flat fee with no success fees — a deliberate contrast to IPO advisory and IR retainers billed in the tens of thousands.
The credibility here is inspectable before you pay: the full sample, the five sanity gates, the sourcing ledger with two live public-source links, and the methodology pages are all open to read. Built and run by one operator who took a tech company public end to end, raised $50M+ across financings, and wrote reports like this inside a corp-dev team — you deal with that operator directly. But you don't have to take the bio on faith: the number's defensibility comes from the checks you can see, not the CV.
Sizing follows textbook triangulation (top-down / bottom-up / value-theory). Sources are public only — official statistics, regulatory filings (SEC/EDGAR, Korea DART), standards bodies (OSHA, EU Machinery Regulation, ISO/IEEE/SAE). No licensed research reproduced.
If your brief is outside the wheelhouse, you're told before any payment link is sent — so you're never charged for work that won't happen. And it's a concrete guarantee, not a vague one: full refund if a report isn't delivered within 10 business days of cleared payment, or if it's genuinely unusable — materially incomplete, or a required figure that can't be traced to its cited public source. Requests go to a stated email and are answered within one business day. Full terms & refund policy →
Start with the free estimate, then commission the cited report.
How it flows: send a short brief (no charge) → a payment link back within one business day → report in about 5 business days (Snapshot) to ~10 (Full) from cleared payment. Brief-first, not one-click — nothing is charged until you confirm the price.
