The request

Your AI Strategy Analyst Employee dispatches a Syntic Market-Sizing Specialist Agent that runs market sizing end-to-end: research, analysis, formatted deliverables. Feed it existing research or company data as a starting point, or let it work from scratch.

Describe the market you're sizing and specify your outputs — a presentation, an Excel workbook, a source document with citations. The Agent handles the methodology and saves finished files locally.

"Ship a market sizing analysis for the enterprise project management software space in North America."

"Include TAM/SAM/SOM calculations with methodology, key market drivers and growth projections, competitive landscape overview, and investment implications."

Output as:

  • Executive PowerPoint (10-12 slides)
  • Excel workbook with detailed calculations
  • Markdown source document with all citations

"Source all claims."

How the Analyst briefs the Agent

The Syntic Market-Sizing Specialist Agent works directly with your local files inside the Syntic Code Desktop workspace and saves deliverables to your computer. The more context you provide, the more targeted the analysis.

What to expect:The Strategy Analyst may ask questions — market focus, geographic scope, time horizon, existing assumptions — then ship a plan you can review in the sidebar. This produces more targeted analysis with less back-and-forth.

What the Agent needs

To get started:

  • Hire an AI Strategy Analyst Employee in your Syntic Code Desktop workspace
  • Select Work in a folderin the chat bar to give the Agent access to your existing research, company data, or templates
  • Use the +button to add individual files

One folder pointer; the Agent handles the rest.

What ships back to chat

The Market-Sizing Agent researches the market, applies the TAM/SAM/SOM framework, and ships three coordinated deliverables.

"Researching the North American enterprise project management software market."

"Done. Three files shipped:"

1. Enterprise_PM_Market_Sizing.pptx

  • TAM: $12.4B (2024), growing 11.2% annually
  • SAM: $4.8B (enterprise segment)
  • SOM: $720M

2. PM_Market_Calculations.xlsx

  • All calculations with methodology

3. Market_Sizing_Sources.md

  • All data points cited

Follow-up dispatches

Keep the loop going — the Analyst dispatches deeper as the strategy sharpens.

Drill into a specific segment

Go deeper on the most attractive market. Focus research on a particular vertical, company size, or geographic sub-market.

"Drill into the mid-market segment (100-500 employees). What's the specific opportunity there and who's winning that space?"

Build a sensitivity model

Make the calculations interactive. The Analyst dispatches a Modeling Agent that ships an Excel model where you can adjust assumptions and see how the market size changes.

"Turn the Excel into a sensitivity model. Let me adjust growth rate, market penetration, and competitive capture assumptions to see different scenarios."

Generate competitor profiles

Dispatch a Competitive Intel Agent to research the competitive landscape in detail. Pull profiles on the key players with recent moves, positioning, and market share estimates.

"Ship detailed competitor profiles for the top 5 players. Include recent product launches, funding, reported revenue if available, and positioning."

Tips for the workforce loop

Start another task while this one runs

The Market-Sizing Agent handles the full research and formatting loop. Open a new session from the sidebar for other work. A grey dot in the sidebar appears when it needs attention.

Review the plan before it runs

The Analyst ships a research plan visible in the sidebar. Check that it's covering the right segments, geographies, and frameworks before it starts pulling data.

Triangulate estimates

Cross-check bottom-up calculations against analyst reports. The Analyst surfaces data; you decide what it means.
