Market sizing worksheet

TAM / SAM / SOM with assumptions and sources.

TAM (Total Addressable Market)

Total demand if you captured 100% of the market. Usually top-down (e.g. industry reports) or bottom-up (units × price across all segments).

SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market)

Segment of TAM you can realistically serve (e.g. geography, vertical, product type).

SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market)

Share you can capture in 3–5 years (realistic first revenue target). Often bottom-up: # customers × ARPU.
