OpenAI Deep Research TAM Prompt
AI prompt template for calculating TAM and analyzing market segments
A structured prompt designed for OpenAI Deep Research or similar web-browsing models to evaluate total addressable market size. It guides the model to synthesize raw data from industry reports, community discussions, and reviews using top-down and multi-method market sizing approaches.
The prompt
Template: 'I want to build a business that [idea] for [target market]. My goal is to minimize the time and effort to [core value proposition]. Here is some prior research I have already done. Use this to influence your analysis but DO NOT SKIP performing your own research. [insert earlier research from Grok 3 / X].' It instructs Deep Research to analyze content across many articles, podcast transcripts, reddit, App Store reviews, review websites and other sources. Goal: thoroughly understand Total Addressable Market, leveraging ALL THREE measurement methods, then combine into one TAM calculation: (1) Top-Down Approach — use industry reports, market research and macroeconomic data to estimate overall market size, then narrow to target segments by geography, demographics or industry filters (example: if the global smart home device market is $50B and the product is relevant to 40%, TAM is a share of that). (The captured tweet is truncated mid-example; the tweet text adds: measure addressable markets, analyze segments and jobs to be done.)
