Decides whether and how to enter a new market — sizing demand from the bottom up rather than from a market report, testing whether your advantage transfers, choosing between organic entry, partnership and acquisition, sequencing the operational and regulatory work that entry actually requires, and setting the criteria that would tell you to stop. Use this to evaluate a new geography, segment or vertical, pressure-test an entry plan, or work out why a launched market never reached scale.
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 entry Entry decisions are usually made on the size of the opportunity and lost on the cost of serving it. The market was real; what was underestimated was everything required to operate there. ## Size from the bottom up, then check it against the top down A market report gives you a number that includes companies who will never buy from you. Build the estimate from countable things: how many organizations fit your profile, how many have the problem acutely, what they spend on it today, what share you could plausibly hold in a defined period. Use a top-down figure only as a sanity check. If bottom-up and top-down differ by an order of magnitude, one of them contains an assumption nobody has stated, and finding it is the most valuable hour in the analysis. ## Test whether the advantage actually transfers The question is not whether the market is attractive — attractive markets are attractive to everyone, including incumbents already there. The question is what you have that wins. Advantages transfer unevenly. Product capability usually transfers. Brand rarely does across geographies. Distribution and relationships almost never do. Cost structure may invert entirely. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/market-entry@sha256:004c3dc719c7a0d3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
