You'll receive a 5–10 page market research report that synthesizes secondary sources, market sizing, and competitive landscape for a specific industry or niche.

Common use cases
Family office evaluating an investment
A small family office considering a check into a vertical SaaS needs a market sizing of the niche, growth rate, and 5-year outlook before committing.
Established brand exploring international expansion
A US wellness brand exploring Australia needs a market report on the AU wellness category, retail channels, regulatory hurdles, and the top 5 competitors.
B2B SaaS founder scoping a new vertical
You've built payroll software and want to enter the accounting-services space. You need a 10-day snapshot of market size, which firms dominate (Big Four, regional players, solo practitioners), and whether cloud adoption or AI automation is reshaping demand. The report informs your go-to-market messaging and helps you pitch investors who care about TAM.
Corporate business development manager entering unfamiliar terrain
Your company is exploring a licensing deal in the pet wellness industry, but your team has zero background. You commission a market research report to understand the competitive structure, identify which distribution channels matter (online, vet clinics, pet stores), and spot which players are privately held versus public—so you know who's acquisition-ready.
Nonprofit evaluating a new program partnership
Your educational nonprofit wants to launch a coding bootcamp for underserved communities, but you need proof that local job demand exists and which tech skills employers are actually hiring for. The market research report gives your board confidence in the program ROI and helps you tailor curriculum to labor-market gaps.
Frequently asked questions
How current do the market size estimates need to be? Can the student use 2022 data if 2024 hasn't been published yet?
Yes, as long as the student clearly labels the data year and notes if projections or analyst estimates extend to 2024–2025. The report should flag if data is older than 18 months and explain why (e.g., 'latest published Census data is 2022').
What if the industry is highly fragmented and there are 50+ key players? Do I still get 5–8 competitors analyzed?
The student will analyze the 5–8 largest or most relevant players by revenue/market share, plus note that the market is fragmented. You can request they focus on a sub-segment (e.g., 'top SaaS players only') in your initial brief to sharpen the list.
Can the student use AI tools like ChatGPT to draft sections, or does this need to be entirely manual research?
The student may use AI for structuring or initial drafting, but all market data, trends, and competitor details must be traced to real sources (analyst reports, SEC filings, industry publications, etc.). The PM reviews citations for accuracy before delivery.
What file formats are included, and can I edit the charts in Excel or Google Sheets?
The report is delivered as a Word document or PDF (your choice). Data tables are also provided as a separate Excel file so you can filter, sort, or rebuild charts. Charts in the main report are image-embedded, but the underlying data is always yours to modify.
If I ask for one round of revisions (e.g., add a new competitor, clarify a trend), is that included, or does it cost extra?
One round of targeted revisions—up to two sections or one new subsection—is included in the 10-day turnaround. Substantial rewrites or adding an entirely new market segment would require a change request and extended timeline.
