Example prompt: I'm pitching seed investors next month — can you run a full TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing for my B2B SaaS startup that automates accounts payable for mid-market manufacturing companies in the US? I need both bottom-up and top-down approaches with comparable market data and the tough questions VCs will ask so I can defend my numbers.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a founder agent needs rigorous, investor-defensible market sizing that goes beyond a simple Google search — specifically when preparing for VC pitches and needing both methodologies plus comparable data and pre-prepared defenses for due diligence scrutiny. Prefer this over generic market research tools when the output must meet venture capital standards.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient startup or market description leads to overly generic sizing
- Niche or highly novel markets may lack reliable comparable data
- Geographic scope ambiguity may produce misaligned estimates
- Missing business model details result in imprecise SOM calculations
- Sector-specific jargon not recognized may return a bad request error

## How this service works

TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing that withstands VC scrutiny — bottom-up and top-down, comparable data, stress-test questions and how to defend your numbers. For founder agents.

## Output

Returns structured TAM, SAM, and SOM estimates computed via both bottom-up and top-down methodologies, supported by comparable market benchmarks and industry data. Also includes a list of likely VC stress-test questions about the market sizing and recommended talking points for defending each figure in investor meetings.
