How we got these numbers

Every figure is computed from the inputs below — the same top-down + stated-fraction methodology the product applies, with the arithmetic left visible.

StepFormulaResultBasis
TAM (anchor)Bottom-up arithmetic (2024)$1.5MUS Census Bureau — County Business Patterns (corridor business count basis) — Bottom-up: roughly 600 businesses and organizations in the corridor area × ~$2,500 average annual local promotion budget ≈ $1.5M. Deliberately tiny — this is a hyperlocal market and the methodology says so.
SAM (serviceable)$1.5M × 30%$450KCorridor businesses that would sponsor an independent local guide instead of (or alongside) social ads.
SOM (obtainable)$450K × 5%$22.5KA trusted single-neighborhood guide can realistically win a meaningful share of a tiny market.
Customer framing$22.5K ÷ ($50/mo × 12)≈ 38 customersWhat the obtainable estimate means at the reference price of $50/month.

Opportunity signals

  • Southwest Atlanta's Cascade corridor has active development and no dedicated independent guide.
  • Hyperlocal trust is defensible: city-wide media cannot cover one corridor at this depth.
  • Sponsorship economics work at small scale because content costs are low.

Risks & pain points

Ceiling by designMED

A one-corridor guide has a hard revenue ceiling; upside requires replicating the playbook elsewhere.

Sustained editorial effortHIGH

Local guides decay quickly without fresh content.
