Use cases

Size a market from several sources

Published market estimates disagree, and you have to explain why yours differs.

You ask

Size the US market for commercial HVAC maintenance services. Build a top-down estimate from industry revenue data and a bottom-up estimate from building counts and service spend, then explain why the two differ.

What it does

  1. Searches government data, industry reports and company filings for each input.
  2. Records every assumption in a sheet with its source.
  3. Runs both estimates as code in the workspace so each step can be checked.
  4. Charts the two estimates and the main drivers of the gap.

You get

A cited sizing sheet with a chart comparing top-down and bottom-up estimates.
