FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate TAM, SAM, and SOM using a bottom-up approach for VC analysis?

Bottom-up market sizing calculates TAM, SAM, and SOM by decomposing ARPC across defined customer segments, applying segment classification and data-point collection to generate investment memo-ready estimates.

What is ARPC decomposition and how does it work for startup market sizing?

ARPC decomposition breaks down average revenue per customer to calculate market size across mutually exclusive segments, enabling data-backed segment analysis and precise bottom-up estimates for VC due diligence.

Can I run top-down sanity checks against bottom-up market sizing estimates?

Yes, top-down sanity checks validate bottom-up market sizing estimates by comparing segment-level ARPC calculations against broader market data to support scenario planning and investment memo preparation.

Does this market sizing workflow require predefined customer segments and ARPC data?

The workflow applies segment discovery with mutually exclusive definitions and requires ARPC structures to perform bottom-up market sizing, making it suitable for startup benchmarking and due diligence contexts.

What is the best way to prepare investment memos with TAM, SAM, and SOM calculations?

Automating bottom-up market sizing generates exportable tables, charts, and memo-ready summaries with source references, providing validated TAM, SAM, and SOM estimates for investment memo preparation.

Why use bottom-up market sizing instead of top-down estimates for venture capital due diligence?

Bottom-up market sizing provides granular ARPC-based calculations across defined customer segments, offering more data-backed market opportunity estimates than top-down approaches for informed VC decisions and startup planning.
