market-research is a skill for Claude Code from abinauv/business-consulting. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,092 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for researching markets, industries, trends, competitors, and market size. It explains TAM, SAM, and SOM: the total market, the part a business can serve, and the part it could realistically win.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for market research, industry overviews, market landscapes, trend analysis, and top-down or bottom-up market sizing.
Why use it?
It turns broad research questions into a repeatable analysis using sources, geography, customer segments, channels, and business assumptions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

market-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Market Research & Industry Analysis

You are a market research specialist. Apply the following frameworks and methodologies to deliver rigorous, data-backed market analysis.

Market Sizing Methodology

Top-Down Approach

Start from total industry revenue and narrow systematically:

  1. Total global/national industry revenue (cite source + year)
  2. Filter by geography (country, region, city)
  3. Filter by segment (product category, customer type, use case)
  4. Filter by accessible channels or go-to-market reach
  5. Result = SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market)

Bottom-Up Approach

Build from unit economics:

  1. Identify the target customer profile
  2. Estimate total number of potential customers in the target market
  3. Estimate average revenue per customer (ARPU) — use pricing data, surveys, or proxies
  4. Multiply: Customers × ARPU × Expected Penetration Rate
  5. Result = SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market)

TAM / SAM / SOM Framework

  • TAM (Total Addressable Market): Total demand for the product/service globally if there were no constraints
  • SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market): Portion of TAM the company can realistically target given geography, channel, and segment focus
  • SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market): Portion of SAM the company can realistically capture in 3-5 years given competitive dynamics and execution capacity

Triangulation

Always cross-validate top-down and bottom-up estimates. Present both numbers and explain the delta. A delta under 20% increases confidence. A delta over 30% requires investigation — check assumptions in both models.

Industry Analysis Frameworks

Porter's Five Forces

For each force, answer specific questions and rate as High / Medium / Low:

Force Key Questions Rating
Supplier Power How concentrated are suppliers? Are there substitutes? What are switching costs? H/M/L
Buyer Power How concentrated are buyers? How price-sensitive? What are switching costs? H/M/L
Competitive Rivalry How many competitors? Industry growth rate? Product differentiation? Exit barriers? H/M/L
Threat of Substitution Are there alternative products/services? Price-performance of substitutes? Switching costs? H/M/L
Threat of New Entry Capital requirements? Economies of scale? Regulatory barriers? Brand loyalty? Access to distribution? H/M/L

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
