Answer the first foundational VC question — how big can it get? — by walking revenue and EBITDA across penetration steps of TAM / SAM / SOM at the company's existing pricing and business model. Use whenever sizing a market or an opportunity; whenever asked "how big is this", "what's the TAM", "what's the size of the prize", or "what happens at 1% / 5% / 10% penetration"; whenever building or reviewing the market-sizing section of an investment memo; whenever a revenue model needs its…

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 Capture Analysis

## The first foundational VC question

There are really only two questions a venture investor is asking:

1. **How big can it get?** ← this skill
2. **How fast can it get that big?** ← sibling skill [[timeline-scenario-analysis]]

This skill codifies the analytical structure for question 1. It is deliberately a **static, if-then picture** — it does not yet involve time. It is the size of the prize at each penetration step, with every assumption named so the reader can react to it. The companion timeline-scenario skill is what stress-tests the *path* to any cell in the grid. Doing this skill without its sibling produces a destination with no route; see *Why this skill alone is incomplete* below.

> Terminology note: this document uses the standard **SAM / SOM / TAM** triad (Serviceable Addressable Market / Serviceable Obtainable Market / Total Addressable Market). The author's original term `TOM` is parked here as a seam: if `TOM` means a distinct fourth concept (e.g., Total Obtainable Market — wider than SOM, narrower than SAM), it can be reintroduced as a fourth tier in a later version. Until then, the three-tier standard is used.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/market-capture-analysis@sha256:e1312f7090bf93be

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.98fea04, 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.
