## Opportunity Market Sizing

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**S A M**: ~$100M-150M (targeting mid-sized regional agricultural cooperatives and independent commercial elevators, excluding tier-1 global multinationals)
**S O M**: ~$10M-20M
**T A M**: ~12,000 North American commercial grain storage facilities × ~$25,000/yr platform fee ≈ $300M
**Growth Rate**: ~9-14%/yr, driven by increasing regional basis volatility and local margin compression forcing operators to abandon static seasonal storage tariffs
**Paid Comparable Spend**: ~$15k-40k/yr per facility spent on legacy grain accounting ERP modules, static market data terminal subscriptions, and fractional senior merchandiser labor for manual spreadsheet modeling
