TAM Analysis

What is TAM Analysis?

TAM analysis estimates the total addressable market: the entire revenue an offering could theoretically generate. A top-down approach narrows down figures from market studies, while a bottom-up approach multiplies the number of potential customers by the expected price. Together with SAM (serviceable market) and SOM (realistically obtainable share) it supports investment and planning decisions, but it is only meaningful with transparent assumptions and ranges rather than false precision.

How KI.ordo helps

The KI.ordo template “Estimate market size (TAM/SAM/SOM)” turns product, market and region into a top-down and bottom-up estimate with its assumptions laid open.

Go-to-market (GTM)

A go-to-market (GTM) strategy sets out how a product or service will be launched successfully in a market: which target group has which problem, how the offer is positioned and priced, which channels it is sold through and which metrics measure success. A GTM plan links marketing, sales and product. Example: a software provider starts with one industry, one partner channel and a 90-day goal.

AI Market Segmentation

AI market segmentation uses AI to divide a market or customer base into groups with similar characteristics, needs or behaviour. Traditionally this is done with clustering methods on customer data; language models can additionally derive segments from descriptions, surveys or enquiries and suggest messaging and channels. The results are hypotheses that should be validated with real data. Example: a software provider distinguishes price-conscious beginners from growth-oriented teams.

Net new business

Net new business refers to revenue generated from customers who did not previously exist, as distinct from renewals, upselling or expansion with existing customers. The metric shows how well a company opens up new markets and target groups, and sales teams often plan and reward it separately. Example: a software vendor reports 40% of its quarterly order intake as net new business.
