How to calculate market sizing models with your AI

Connect once, then let your agent handle the math. It turns broad market assumptions into a refined, layered capture model.

Short answer

How do I calculate market sizing with AI?

Your agent applies a sequence of mathematical refinements to narrow down market potential. It moves from the total addressable market to a realistic capture estimate. You get a structured three-layer breakdown.

The sizing outcomes

Where your numbers land.

The AI processes your input into three distinct layers of market reality.

TOTAL

TAM baseline

The AI calculates the total addressable market. This establishes the absolute ceiling of demand for your product category.

SERVICEABLE

SAM refinement

The AI filters the total market by your specific constraints. This shows the segment you can actually reach.

CAPTURE

SOM projection

The AI calculates your realistic target. This represents the portion of the serviceable market you can actually win.

HUMAN

Strategic validation

The AI provides the mathematical model. You must review the final percentages to ensure they align with your actual sales capacity.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent uses specific mathematical tools to strip away unrealistic assumptions.

  1. Set the ceiling

    The AI uses your industry data to find the total possible demand. This creates the foundation for the entire model.

    calculate_tam_base

  2. Apply constraints

    The AI narrows the total market down to the segment your business can serve. It applies your geographic or technical filters.

    apply_sam_refinement

  3. Project capture

    The AI calculates the specific portion of the serviceable market you can win. It uses your target penetration rates.

  4. Finalize model

    The AI organizes the three layers into a cohesive output. It presents the relationship between total potential and realistic capture.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI find market data on the web for me?

    No. The AI performs the mathematical refinements on the data you provide. It does not browse the live web to find new market reports.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide my target market share?

    No. You must provide the penetration percentages. The AI simply calculates the resulting SOM based on your input.

  • 03

    Can I use my own spreadsheets?

    Yes. You can provide your data in a structured format for the AI to process.

  • 04

    Will the AI edit my original files?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform the calculations. It never modifies your source files.

  • 05

    Can it generate a slide deck?

    No. This MCP is designed for mathematical modeling and refinement, not for creating presentation files.
