How do I calculate TAM, SAM, and SOM for my startup pitch?

You calculate TAM, SAM, and SOM using Top-down, Bottom-up, and Value Theory methodologies. This Skill requires web research for industry data and internal metrics to produce data-driven market opportunity assessments for investor pitches.

What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up market sizing?

Can I cross-validate market sizing estimates from different methods?

Yes, you can cross-validate market sizing estimates by triangulating figures from Top-down, Bottom-up, and Value Theory methodologies. This triangulation increases confidence in your TAM, SAM, and SOM calculations for strategic business decisions.

What data do I need to estimate Total Addressable Market for a B2B SaaS product?

To estimate Total Addressable Market for a B2B SaaS product, you need web research data for industry trends and internal metrics for bottom-up calculations. This combination ensures your market opportunity figures are robust and defensible.

When should I use Value Theory instead of Top-down market analysis?

Use Value Theory market analysis when traditional Top-down industry data is scarce or when pricing is based on perceived value rather than volume. It helps determine market size by quantifying the value delivered to users.
