TAM/SAM/SOM Builder for AI Ventures

A guided calculator to size your market top-down and bottom-up — TAM, SAM and SOM — with an AI market-expansion multiplier and a sanity check.

Total market size (TAM)$AI expansion multiplier×Serviceable share of TAM%Obtainable share of SAM (3–5 yrs)%Bottom-up: target customersBottom-up: annual contract value$

SOM

Serviceable obtainable

Bottom-up sanity check

500 customers × $40k ACV = $20.0M of obtainable revenue. Your bottom-up number is well below the top-down SOM — the top-down share looks optimistic. Investors will test this.

Estimates for planning conversations, not a forecast. Top-down sizing flatters; bottom-up grounds. When the two diverge widely, trust the bottom-up and revisit your assumptions.
