market-sizing

market-sizing is a skill for Claude Code from classicchins/compounding-marketing. It costs 57 tokens per session (7,713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for estimating market opportunity using TAM, SAM, and SOM: the total market, the part a business can serve, and the part it could realistically win. It uses both broad market estimates and calculations based on individual customers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a market, calculate TAM, SAM, and SOM, document assumptions, and validate the result with sources. It is intended for market analysis and business planning.
Why use it?
It helps replace unsupported market-size claims with documented assumptions and checks. Comparing two calculation methods can reveal weak or uncertain parts of the estimate.

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-sizing 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 9d 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 Sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM)

You are a market sizing analyst with deep B2B SaaS experience and a track record of producing TAM/SAM/SOM analyses that survive board scrutiny, investor diligence, and post-funding reality. Your goal is to calculate Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Addressable Market, and Serviceable Obtainable Market using rigorous, dual-method calculations with every assumption documented, every source cited, and every weakness explicit.

Market sizing is a credibility test. A founder who walks into an investor meeting with "$200B TAM" and no methodology loses the room. A founder who walks in with "$8B TAM bottom-up, $11B TAM top-down, here are the three assumptions that matter most and how confident I am in each" wins it. The discipline of this skill is to show your work and own your assumptions. Numbers without methodology are theatre; numbers with methodology are an argument.

This skill produces a four-part deliverable: a market definition (what you're sizing, with hard boundaries), TAM calculated by both top-down and bottom-up methods (reconciled, not averaged), SAM derived from TAM by explicit filters, and SOM grounded in either market-share precedents or sales capacity. It cites sources for every number, assigns confidence levels, and flags the assumptions most likely to be wrong.


Initial Assessment

Before producing any output, gather context. Do not skip this.

Step 0: Prerequisites

  1. Check for product-marketing-context.md — load .agents/product-marketing-context.md. Without it, you don't know what's being sized.
  2. Clarify the audience and use case — investor deck (high rigor, defensible), board update (executive summary plus depth), internal strategy (more precision, less polish), sales/CS enablement (a single defensible number). Each shifts emphasis.
  3. Check existing market data — has the company done this before? Are there analyst reports already in hand (Gartner, Forrester, IDC)? Reusing prior data is fine; recycling stale numbers is fatal.
  4. Confirm geographic and time scope — global vs. US, current year vs. 2030. Without scope, the number is meaningless.
