Market Research

Find the unmet needs worth building for.

Market Research turns survey responses into Ulwick opportunity scores, an importance–satisfaction landscape, WTP estimates, current solution analysis, and survey-derived TAM/SAM/SOM — so you build what the market is actually missing.

Turning survey data into market decisions — sound familiar?

01Piles of survey responses but no clear market direction?
02Ranking needs by request count instead of real opportunity?
03Guessing at price when you should be measuring WTP?
04No idea how big the addressable market really is?

Skari turns raw survey data into opportunity scores, WTP, and market sizing.

01 · OPPORTUNITY SCORES

Rank every need by opportunity, not by request count.

Ulwick ODI scores, Demand Index, Adoption Intent, and Avg WTP — all in one view.

Respondents rate each outcome on importance and current satisfaction. Skari computes the Ulwick Opportunity Score (importance + unmet gap), ranks every outcome from most- to least-underserved, and surfaces four KPIs: the top opportunity score, Demand Index (severity × adoption intent), Adoption Intent %, and average stated WTP.

02 · OPPORTUNITY LANDSCAPE

See the full competitive landscape at a glance.

Importance × satisfaction scatter — bottom-right = underserved.

Each need is plotted with importance on the x-axis and current satisfaction on the y-axis. The bottom-right red quadrant (high importance, low satisfaction) reveals the most promising product wedges. The top-right green quadrant shows already well-served areas to avoid over-investing in.

Opportunity Landscape

Importance vs satisfaction — bottom-right = underserved.

Importance →Satisfaction →03610

Red zone = high importance, low satisfaction — your product wedge.

03 · SOLUTIONS · WTP · UNMET NEEDS

Who has the problem, what are they doing today, and what will they pay?

Current solution breakdown, WTP histogram, and unmet need by segment.

Three panels give a full demand picture. Current Solutions shows whether respondents use in-house tools, third-party software, manual workarounds, or nothing at all — the "nothing" share is pure white space. The WTP histogram reveals where willingness to pay clusters. Unmet Need by Segment ranks groups by highest need, identifying your beachhead market.

04 · MARKET SIZING

Estimate TAM, SAM, and SOM from your survey data.

Survey-derived market sizing — problem prevalence × adoption intent × WTP.

Enter total market size and a price point — Skari uses the survey-measured problem prevalence and adoption intent to compute TAM (full revenue potential), SAM (addressable by those who have the problem), and SOM (realistic capture based on adoption intent). Price defaults to the average stated WTP so the first estimate is automatic.

Market Sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM)

Set market size and monthly price to compute annual revenue estimates.

Market size (orgs/people)
e.g. 50000
Price / month ($)
157

TAM = market size × price × 12 (annual revenue)

SAM = TAM × 86.7% who have the problem

SOM = SAM × 76.7% who intend to adopt

TAM
SAM
SOM

Enter market size to compute TAM/SAM/SOM. Price defaults to average stated WTP.

IN THE REPORT

Everything the analysis delivers.

Raw responses in — opportunity scores, WTP, and market sizing out.

Adoption Intent %

Share likely to adopt, broken out by segment.

Importance × satisfaction landscape

IPA quadrant scatter — bottom-right red zone is the wedge.

Current solution breakdown

In-house, third-party, manual, or nothing — nothing is white space.

WTP histogram

Where willingness to pay clusters, with median and average.

Unmet need by segment

Rank groups by need to find your beachhead market.

TAM / SAM / SOM sizing

Survey-derived market size from prevalence, intent, and WTP.

Average & median WTP

Price anchors that auto-default the sizing model.
