SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill turns vague market guesses into a structured TAM/SAM/SOM analysis that product teams can defend with adaptive questioning, explicit assumptions, and citation-backed data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive Question Flow: The guided session captures context, problem space, geography, industry segments, and customer profiles through up to four context-aware prompts to ensure relevant scoping.
  • Citation-Backed Output & Validation: Each result explains TAM, SAM, and SOM definitions, calculations, and assumptions while listing data sources, validation questions, and next steps for investor or executive review.
  • Template & Helper Script: Use the provided markdown template to organize the analysis and the deterministic helper script when you already have population, ARPU, or TAM inputs for quick calculation tables.

Quick Start

Ask tam-sam-som-calculator to size the TAM/SAM/SOM for your product idea with cited data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate TAM SAM SOM for my product idea?

Calculate TAM SAM SOM by defining total, serviceable available, and obtainable markets through adaptive questions about problem space, geography, industry, and customer segments. This skill guides the process with citation-backed logic to build defensible estimates for investor or executive reviews.

What is the best way to structure market sizing estimates for an investor pitch?

The best way to structure market sizing for an investor pitch is using a template that explicitly states assumptions, calculations, and data sources for your TAM, SAM, and SOM. This skill provides a markdown template and validation questions ensuring your estimates are citable and defensible.

Can I use deterministic inputs like ARPU and population data to calculate market size?

Yes, you can use deterministic inputs like ARPU and population to calculate market size using the provided helper script. The script generates quick calculation tables for your TAM SAM SOM when you already have specific population, ARPU, or total market figures available.

How does adaptive questioning improve TAM SAM SOM analysis?

Adaptive questioning improves TAM SAM SOM analysis by capturing specific context about your region, industry, and customer profiles through up to four context-aware prompts. This ensures relevant scoping and prevents vague market guesses by forcing explicit assumptions tailored to your product's problem space.

Do I need prior market research data before starting a TAM SAM SOM analysis?

You do not need extensive prior market research data before starting, but providing contextual answers about your problem space, region, industry, and customers is required. Optional deterministic inputs like population or ARPU can be added later via the helper script for precise calculations.
