market-research

market-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,676 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of market-research, MIT.

A research guide for estimating how large a market is and understanding its customers, competitors, growth, and boundaries. TAM means the total possible market, SAM the part a business can serve, and SOM the part it could realistically win.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare market-size estimates, investor-deck market slides, market-entry decisions, trend analysis, and checks of market assumptions. It helps define the relevant problem, customer groups, geography, and business model first.
Why use it?
It helps test whether a business opportunity is large enough and whether the supporting assumptions are credible. It also prevents broad market figures from being confused with the specific segment the product can actually reach.

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

When to Use

Activate when a founder needs to size a market opportunity using TAM/SAM/SOM, validate market assumptions for a pitch deck, understand growth trends, evaluate market entry, or prepare for investor conversations about addressable market. Trigger phrases include "how big is our market," "TAM/SAM/SOM," "market size," "market opportunity," "is this market big enough," "market trends," "help me with the market slide," or "validate our market assumptions."

Context Required

  • From startup-context: product description, target customer segments, pricing model, geographic scope, business model.
  • From the user: the market or segment to analyze, known data points (industry reports, customer counts, pricing benchmarks), geographic and industry constraints, whether this is for internal decision-making or external presentation (investor deck), and any specific hypotheses about market dynamics.

Workflow

  1. Define market boundaries -- Specify the problem space, customer segments, geography, and constraints. "Project management tools" is a different market than "team collaboration software." Precision determines whether the analysis is useful.
  2. Top-down estimation -- Start from total industry size using industry reports, public company revenues, and government statistics. Narrow to the relevant segment by applying filters for geography, customer type, and product category.
  3. Bottom-up estimation -- Build independently from unit economics: (number of potential customers) x (price per customer) x (purchase frequency). Cross-validate against the top-down estimate.
  4. Scope the SAM -- Identify which portion of TAM is realistically serviceable given current product capabilities, pricing, distribution channels, and geographic reach.
  5. Estimate the SOM -- Project achievable market share in 1-3 years based on competitive position, go-to-market capacity, and current traction.
  6. Project growth -- Forecast how TAM, SAM, and SOM evolve over 2-3 years. Identify key growth drivers, technology shifts, regulatory changes, and demographic trends.
  7. Map assumptions -- Surface every critical assumption underlying each estimate. Rate confidence levels and identify how to validate the most uncertain assumptions.

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.
