Market Sizing Refresh Agent

Current, sourced market size estimates that hold up to scrutiny

Market Sizing Refresh Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Market size numbers in strategy decks are often years old, and nobody remembers how they were built. This agent keeps a model of each market from clear inputs: number of customers, adoption rate, price and growth. Each quarter it searches industry reports, government statistics and filings for newer data on each input. It updates inputs, records the source for each and recalculates. It compares a top-down estimate with a bottom-up one. If they differ by more than the set range, it finds the input causing the gap and checks other sources. A source with a different market definition is adjusted or left out. It drafts an update showing what changed and why. The leader approves before numbers enter plans.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It accepts an estimate when top-down and bottom-up agree within the set range and every input has a recent source.

  • Each input needs a source under two years old
  • Different market definitions are adjusted or excluded
  • Agreement range is 20%

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Markets covered
  • Agreement range (default 20%)
  • Preferred sources
  • Refresh frequency

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Using updated numbers in plans

Hard limits

  • Never presents estimates without sources
  • Marks assumptions clearly

It stops when

  • Done: estimates approved
  • Stop: no reliable source for a key input; mark it as an assumption

An example run

What happensThe bottom-up estimate for mid-size clinics came to 1.4 billion dollars and the top-down to 2.1 billion. The gap check failed against a 20% range. The agent traced it to a clinic count that included hospital outpatient units. A government count without them gave 1.6 billion, within range. The leader approved the update for the Q4 plan.
