MarketScanAI
From a market question to a structured market study, in hours.
MarketScanAI combines advanced web extraction with proprietary research tools to build a professional market study: size, segments, competitors, business models, growth drivers, risks and whitespace.
The problem
Information is abundant. A usable market view is rare.
The facts about most markets are scattered across filings, company sites, trade press, associations, statistics offices and databases. The work lies in bounding the market, triangulating the numbers, mapping the players and saying what it all means.
MarketScanAI is built for that work and held to the standard of a strategy research workstream.

Every statement shows what it rests on
A market study mixes facts, estimates and judgment. MarketScanAI keeps them apart, so a reader can see what is sourced, what is modelled and what is interpreted.
| Statement | Type | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Market is defined as independent operators serving mid-sized industrial clients in France. | Interpretation | Boundary chosen to match the investment question, with exclusions listed |
| The segment grew faster than the wider market over the last three reported years. | Sourced fact | Two statistical series, cited with dates |
| Addressable market is expressed as a range. | Estimate | Top-down and bottom-up triangulation; assumptions shown |
| Consolidation is likely to continue among smaller operators. | Inference | Deal announcements and margin pressure described in public filings |
Illustrative example with a fictional market. Not client work.

Evidence and QA
Four kinds of statement, kept apart
Every meaningful factual statement is traced to its source where possible. The final review checks sources, logic and consistency, and flags anything that is not supported.
Sourced fact
Stated in a source, cited with its date.
Estimate
Derived from sourced inputs through a stated method.
Inference
A reasoned conclusion from several pieces of evidence.
Interpretation
A judgment made for your question, labelled as such.
- Pre-diligence market orientation
- Thesis formation
- Sector screening
- Competitor mapping
- Target universe mapping
- Market attractiveness work
