Estimate how large an opportunity actually is, from the bottom up, and state the assumptions that drive the number. Use when evaluating a market, writing a plan, or challenging a large number in a deck.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Market sizing Most market sizes are top-down and useless: a large industry figure multiplied by an invented percentage. A bottom-up estimate is smaller, defensible, and actually informs a decision about whether to build something. ## Method 1. **Build from units and price, not from a total.** How many potential buyers, how many will realistically buy, what they will pay, and how often. Each step is arguable, which is the point. 2. **Distinguish the three sizes.** Everyone who could conceivably buy, the segment you can actually serve, and what you could realistically capture in a few years. Conflating them is the standard deck error. 3. **Cross-check top-down against bottom-up.** Wildly different answers mean an assumption is wrong, and finding which is more valuable than the number. 4. **State every assumption with its source.** A number whose assumptions are visible can be argued with and improved; a single figure cannot. 5. **Sanity-check against existing players.** If your estimate implies the incumbents should be several times larger than they are, the estimate is wrong. 6. **Size the beachhead, not the dream.** The immediately addressable …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/market-sizing@sha256:2b3f7bb05ff8f9a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.2d6d1c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
