Market Sizing and Opportunity Assessment Questions

Frameworks and methods for evaluating and quantifying the size and attractiveness of market opportunities and converting those estimates into strategic priorities. Candidates should be able to define and calculate total addressable market, serviceable addressable market, and serviceable obtainable market using top down and bottom up approaches, perform back of the envelope estimates and formal builds, and clearly explain assumptions and data sources. The topic covers meaningful customer segmentation, estimation of adoption and growth rates, revenue and profitability modeling, analysis of competitive landscape and white space, identification of barriers to entry and unmet needs, scenario and sensitivity analysis to capture uncertainty, and prioritization based on competitive intensity and ability to win. Interviewers will assess quantitative rigor, defensible assumptions, use of primary and secondary research, clarity of calculation steps, trade offs in prioritization, and how sizing outcomes inform product strategy, go to market planning, and revenue forecasting.
