Market sizing that shows its work, figure by figure

Finding a market number is easy. Defending it is the job.

Anyone can paste "$47B market growing at 12% CAGR" into a deck. Then the partner asks where that came from, whether it's revenue or units, what year the base is, and why your SAM is a third of TAM instead of a tenth. One unsourced figure can sink a whole diligence call.

This agent does the part that actually takes days. It searches analyst summaries, government statistics, company filings and trade-body reports, and it browses the full pages instead of trusting a snippet. Then it reconciles the conflicting numbers. When two sources disagree on the base, you see both and which one it used.

What it pulls together into one brief:

• Top-down sizing from published market reports, with the report, year and definition next to each figure.
• Bottom-up sizing from unit counts, ARPU and penetration, a build it can defend line by line.
• A SAM/SOM narrowing with the geography and segment filters spelled out.
• Competitor revenue and share scraped from filings, press and pricing pages.
• A live data pull from any REST API you point it at (census, Crunchbase, a stats portal), folded into the same model.

You end up with a cited brief and a Sheets model you can hand to an investor or a board. Every assumption has a footnote, and when you change one input the rest moves with it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it make up a CAGR like other AI tools?

No. It reports only figures it found in a source it browsed, and it attaches that source to the figure. When it can't find a credible number, it tells you. The whole point is a brief that survives diligence.

Top-down or bottom-up?

Both, in the same brief. Top-down pulls from published market reports. Bottom-up builds from unit counts, ARPU and penetration. When the two methods diverge, the brief flags it so you know where the model is fragile.

Can it use a paid data source I subscribe to?

Yes, if it has a REST API and you give the agent the key. It calls the endpoint with your auth and pulls the numbers in. For sites without an API it browses the pages directly, JavaScript-heavy ones included.

What do I actually get at the end?

A cited brief with every figure footnoted, plus a live Google Sheets model with editable TAM/SAM/SOM formulas. Export the brief to PDF, or forward the Sheet to whoever needs to poke at the assumptions.

Can it keep a market estimate current?

Yes. Set a scheduled task in plain language, say monthly. It re-runs the research, updates the model and emails you a short note on what changed and why. The quarterly redo is gone.

How much does it cost?

Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Setup takes about four minutes. Name the agent, point it at your first market, and watch it run the research.
