What you'll learn

  • Apply a structured, step-by-step thinking framework to estimate the size of any market
  • Master six distinct analytical approaches Stations — How Many, Consumer Markets, B2B Markets, Future Markets, Marketplaces, and Blind Challenges
  • Size consumer markets by estimating population behavior, consumption frequency, channel share, and revenue
  • Identify and apply the five core B2B demand drivers — discretionary activity, regulatory compliance, organizational complexity, operational risk, and ROI
  • Project future markets under genuine uncertainty using adoption curves, technology competition analysis, economic viability testing, and scenario planning
  • Understand platform economics — GMV, take rates, network effects, and the fundamental differences between them
  • Diagnose any unfamiliar business model before sizing it — identifying market type, demand driver, and value capture mechanism
  • Develop the confidence to think out loud under pressure — stating assumptions, cross-validating estimates, and delivering insights

Requirements

  • No prior market sizing experience required — the Workout starts from foundational concepts and builds progressively
  • Basic numeracy and comfort with simple arithmetic (multiplication, division, percentages) — no advanced mathematics needed
  • Curiosity about business, strategy, and how markets work — the most important prerequisite of all
  • A pen and paper (or digital equivalent) for attempting cases before watching the walkthroughs — the Workout is designed for active participation, not passive watching
  • Approximately 3-5 hours to complete the full Workout — though cases can be attempted individually at your own pace
  • Optional but recommended: some familiarity with basic business concepts (revenue, market share, supply and demand) will help you move faster through early stations

Description

Note: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence:

- Udemy Role-Play AI feature to make the course more practical and interactive;

- AI-generated Voice-Over since some students complained about my heavy accent;

- AI-generated images (mostly thumbnail and Role Play solutions) to illustrate business cases;

Mission: To help you build capabilities through interactive learning: Stop watching strategy. Start practicing it. Build real Market Sizing skills through 30 AI-powered Role-Play activities across different difficulty levels, simulating Consultant-like Case Interview conversations about Market Sizing.

Hello my friend,

We all know those iconic questions — the ones that show up in consulting interviews, strategy meetings, and investment committees around the world:

- What's the size of the coffee market in Italy?

- How large is the beer market in Czechia?

- What's the chocolate market worth in Switzerland?

- How many gas stations are there in the USA?

You can read books about how to approach them. You can ask AI. You can study frameworks until your eyes blur.

But, once you find a proper sparring partner to challenge your thinking process – priceless!

That’s what this Workout is all about!

The Learning Architecture

Think about this Workout through two lenses simultaneously.

First — think of it as a gym.

You don't flex only one muscle all day long. You don't do the same exercise in every session. You have legs day, biceps day, back day — each one targeting a different muscle group, each one making you stronger in a different way.

The Market Sizing Workout follows exactly the same pattern. Six Workout Stations. Each one targeting a completely different analytical muscle:

- Station 1 — How Many... The foundational station. Pure demand and capacity logic.

- Station 2 — Consumer Markets. Behavioral sizing. Consumption patterns. Revenue estimation.

- Station 3 — B2B Markets. Business segmentation. Compliance. Risk. Operational economics.

- Station 4 — Future Markets. Projection. Adoption curves. Scenario planning under uncertainty.

- Station 5 — Marketplaces. Platform economics. GMV. Take rates. Network effects.

- Station 6 — Blind Challenges. The Championship Round. No hints. No labels. Pure diagnosis.

Six stations. Six analytical muscles. One complete brain workout.

Second — think of it as a game.

And like any well-designed game — the challenge grows deliberately as you progress.

Early stations are accessible. Regular analytical thinkers will solve them independently — or with a little help from the supporting tools. But as you move through the stations, the complexity deepens. The uncertainty increases. The analytical moves required become more sophisticated.

By the time you reach the Championship Round — six Blind Challenges with no category labels, no framework hints, and no safety nets — even seasoned professionals will be properly challenged.

★ Beginner → ★★ Intermediate → ★★★ Advanced → ★★★★ Expert → ★★★★★ Master → ★★★★★★ Grandmaster level

My job is to make it genuinely demanding for professionals — while keeping it solvable for beginners with the right support.

How It Works?

The core philosophy is simple: do it yourself first.

Every case follows the same ritual: You receive the challenge. You hit pause. You attempt it on your own. Then — and only then — you watch the walkthrough.

That struggle before the solution is not optional. It's the entire point. The discomfort of not knowing is exactly where the real learning happens.

But you won't be completely alone. Two supporting tools accompany every challenge:

- The Thinking Blueprints — visual frameworks that map the thinking structure for each case type. You'll find them after the Spoiler Alert in every video. They won't solve the case for you — but they'll show you the analytical architecture you should be building.

- The Printouts — complete case solutions with full calculations, sanity checks, and key teaching points. Every single case solved, step by step, with numbers. Download them. Study them. Use them to understand exactly where your thinking diverged from the optimal approach.

You decide the challenge intensity. Attempt everything independently and test your limits. Or use the Blueprints and Printouts as your training wheels — gradually removing them as your confidence grows.

That choice is yours. This is your Workout.

What's Waiting

30 Role Play activities. 6 Workout Stations. One Championship Round.

Each Role Play is a business simulation — a real scenario, a real analytical challenge, an AI character who will push back on every assumption you make and every number you put on the table.

- The question is not whether you can solve market sizing problems.

- The question is — how long can you beat AI in a business simulation?

There's only one way to find out. Let's play. Ready whenever you say.

Who this course is for:

  • Students and fresh graduates preparing for consulting interviews at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top-tier strategy firms — market sizing is one of the most frequently tested skills in case interviews
  • MBA students and business school candidates looking to develop sharp analytical thinking and structured problem-solving skills before entering strategy roles
  • Early-career professionals in consulting, investment banking, private equity, or corporate strategy who want to sharpen their market sizing capabilities
  • Product managers and startup founders who need to size market opportunities, validate business ideas, and present credible TAM/SAM/SOM analyses to investors
  • Venture capital and private equity analysts evaluating investment opportunities who need a rigorous, structured approach to market sizing
  • Strategy and business development professionals at established companies who regularly need to assess new market opportunities, expansion scenarios, or competitive landscapes
  • Anyone who enjoys intellectual challenges and wants to think more clearly, more structurally, and more confidently about business problems — regardless of their current role or industry
