Market Sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM)

What it is

TAM/SAM/SOM with sources and sanity checks. The goal is defensible order-of-magnitude, not fantasy billions.

Why it matters

Markets are easy to overstate; investors remember inconsistent TAM stories. Defensible sizing builds credibility and sets strategic boundaries.

Who it's for

Fundraising founders, strategists sizing new segments, and board conversations about opportunity ceiling.

What you'll find inside

  • Definition of the market boundary
  • Top-down and bottom-up estimates
  • Sensitivity notes and citations to update

When to use it

Fundraising narrative, board discussions, and strategic pivots.

After you generate it

Footnote sources in decks, stress-test assumptions when pricing changes, and align the revenue model narrative to the same market boundaries.
