TAM
Total possible demand – if they all bought
SAM
Based on your BM – target segment
SOM
Based on limits – Targeted market
30.
Total Addressable Market (TAM): Value of all of the
buyer/seller relationships participating in the market.
Served Addressable Market (SAM): The part of the
TAM for which your business model’s value proposition
is strongest.
Target Market: (Usually) demographic segment of the
SAM with the most direct path to success.

31.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
• Quantifies the entire chain of buyer/seller relationships in
your market.
• Only need to estimate the value of the relationships at point
of consumption (incorporates the value of all relationships in
the chain)
• Usually very broad.
• Easiest to estimate.
• Examples:
• Mobile apps
• Energy consumption
• Health & fitness

Served Addressable Market (SAM)
• A value proposition rarely applies to an entire TAM.
• Opportunity to sharpen your focus on a particular part of the
market.
• If TAM and SAM aren’t that different, just estimate an
addressable market.
• Examples:
• Mobile healthcare apps for seniors
• Self-generated renewable energy storage
• Health & fitness at work
SAM

33.
Target Market
• Process not that different than for SAM.
• One more level of refinement.
• Often a demographic target.
• Examples:
• Mobile healthcare apps for seniors, targeting retirement homes
and large gerontology practices.
• Self-generated renewable energy storage, targeting the oilfield
services, food manufacturing and automotive industries.
• Health & fitness at work, targeting new male employees aged
25-40 in companies with annual sales of $500M or more.

Quantifying Market Size
• If you’re lucky:
• Find an industry or market study that fits your business model
• If you’re not:
• Build a market model
• Important to differentiate:
• Facts
• Assumptions
• Extrapolation Algorithms
• Run multiple scenarios
• Two time frames:
• Now
• In 5 years (Market Growth)

WHY?
1. Why are we making this?
2. Why doesn’t this exist already?
3. Why us?
4. Why now?
5. Why do people need this product?
6. Why will people want this product?
7. Why will people pay for this?
8. Why will this make people do/feel/be, what they want to do/feel/be?
9. Why would people buy from our competitors?
10. Why will people cross the street to buy from us?
11. Why does this idea matter?
