Retain them as unverified planning hypotheses, not published market data. They lack a named market study, a reproducible customer count and a consistent revenue boundary in the evidence reviewed.
| Background hypothesis—not independently verified | Figure assumed | Treatment in this research |
|---|---|---|
| Residential/light-commercial proposal automation | $75m–$200m annual market; 8–15% growth | Adjacent and partly outside the target; do not present as measured |
| Commercial estimating/tender tools | $60m–$180m annual market; 10–20% growth | Overlaps other categories; no validated estimate established |
| Bespoke extraction/integration | $20m–$80m annual market; 20–35% growth | Project services and recurring software have different revenue units |
| Serviceable market | $50m–$200m from 5,000–10,000 buyers × $10,000–$20,000 annual spend | Arithmetic is possible; both customer count and spend remain assumptions |
| Bespoke pilot and production project allowances | $5,000–$20,000 pilot; $25,000–$100,000+ production | Planning allowances only; not observed supplier quotes or a recommended budget |
Source for this table: internal planning assumptions. There is no public citation validating these amounts. The categories overlap, so adding their ranges would double count demand. These internal assumptions should not enter a public newsletter as established statistics.
