What it answers

The question Market Research is built for

Name the market, or a country's own industry. It defines the market, builds a sizing ledger with each figure's source and period, reads the segments, the demand side, the supply side and the industrial base, the pricing, the channels, the barriers to entry and the trajectory, and closes with a strategic read and what the record cannot establish.

Who reaches for it

Strategy teams, investors, founders and analysts asked "how big is it and who wins".

What comes back

15 sections, on every run

These are the headings the result renders, read from the same promise the form makes before you spend a credit. A section that depends on what the record holds is rendered when it can be and never promised here.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know. Each one opens the form filled, in the General domain.

What it will not do

The lines it holds

It does not blend estimates into one number. Divergent sizes are shown as a spread with their issuers; a figure the record does not carry is an open question, and the strategic read is a read, not advice.

Every claim carries its grade

A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up. How the grades work →

Run Market Research on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. The scan names its credit cost before it runs.
