Myth 1: "A Big Market Guarantees Success"

We debunk the dangerous assumption that a large TAM guarantees your venture’s success, highlighting why thorough market analysis matters more than size alone.

Myth 2: "Pre-Packaged TAM Figures Are Enough"

Discover why relying solely on third-party TAM estimates can lead your business astray. We’ll show you the importance of diving deep into market specifics to form a defensible, actionable TAM.

Myth 3: "Stolen TAM Valor"

Claiming a slice of the market without directly competing or offering a new value proposition leads to unrealistic TAMs. We tackle the fallacies behind adjacent market sizes and the illusion of market share.

Myth 4: "TAM and SAM Are the Same"

Gain clarity on the distinction between Total Addressable Market (TAM) and Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and why understanding both is crucial for setting realistic goals and strategies.

Myth 5: "TAM Is Static"

If you think your TAM is set in stone, think again. We explore how market dynamics shift and why regular reassessment is key to staying relevant and competitive.
