Opportunities Framework for Evaluating Market
Metric Description Examples
Finland and Sweden are fairly similar markets as far as size goes.
If our fictional company wants to sell to small- and medium-sized
businesses, both countries would score similarly in terms of
market availability (MA), because they both have a similar
number of target companies (especially when compared to much
larger European economies, such as France or Germany).
Of course, the lower your CA score for a given market, the more
work you’ll need to do — so it’s important to consider whether the
MA and RA scores are high enough to justify the cost. In some
cases, it may be possible to achieve the same or even higher
revenue with a fraction of the investment by simply focusing on
the low-hanging fruit available in markets that are smaller, but
easier to penetrate.
