The premise
AI can structure a bottom-up market sizing model that the analyst then stress-tests with primary research.
What AI does well here
- Lay out unit × price × frequency assumptions in a clean table.
- Suggest segments to break customers into for a TAM/SAM/SOM stack.
- Generate sensitivity ranges around any assumption you flag.
What AI cannot do
- Source defensible per-customer revenue figures from outside its training data.
- Validate that a segment actually exists in your geography.
- Replace a customer interview that confirms willingness to pay.
