the adjacent company is doing this much in revenue.

So I think I can at least get to here if not all the way or surpass it.

And so it gives me a good quick way of thinking like how far can this go?

But before building that intuition, you could always analyze the TAM of a space.

You could analyze the competitive landscape.

And there are a few other metrics that you could look at that just help you kind of objectively assess, is this something worth pursuing?

But what's your checklist now?

So for TAM, what's your TAM size?

To be honest, TAM is one of those things where...

I kind of always look at my gut for this.

I'm not doing Google research.

I didn't look up what's the TAM of a calorie tracking app before starting CalAI, but I kind of saw, okay, this other app is making $200 million a year, so I know that's the minimum ceiling, the lowest floor of what we could get to.

And so that's how I validated building one.

But I think a lot of people are detoured by seeing that another app or another product is doing what they do.

It should say that's proof.

Yeah, exactly.

That's proof it works.

And the market is so big that all of these apps can be successful.

I mean, if a company is still growing, that means that there's still a gap.

There's still people that are underserved and can use it.
