Market Sizing Framework Generator
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
A market sizing framework generator structures the classic TAM, SAM, and SOM analysis investors expect, so you can size an opportunity credibly rather than quoting a vague billion-dollar number. Enter your market and the segment you will target first, and it returns a clear template: total addressable market, the serviceable available portion you could realistically reach, and the obtainable share you can win in the near term — each with prompts for the figure, the assumption behind it, and the source to validate it. Founders use it when writing a pitch deck or business plan, and product teams to decide whether a market is worth entering. Showing your working, not just the conclusion, is what makes a market size believable. Replace the placeholders with real numbers and cite your sources, then sanity-check that your SOM is a defensible fraction of the SAM.

FAQ
what do tam, sam, and som mean
TAM is the total market if everyone who could buy did. SAM is the portion you can serve given your product, segment, and geography. SOM is what you can realistically capture in the next few years against competition. Each is a narrower slice of the one above.
how do i avoid an inflated market size
Show your working. Build the figures from clear inputs — customer counts times average spend — and state every assumption and source. A sourced, bottom-up number is far more credible than a top-down billion-dollar figure pulled from an analyst headline.
why does som matter most to investors
A huge TAM means little if you can only win a sliver. SOM shows you understand the realistic, near-term opportunity and have a grounded plan to capture it, which is more persuasive than an enormous but unattainable total market.
