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

**S A M**: ~$500M - $800M (US and European mid-market to enterprise consumer tech retailers)
**S O M**: ~$20M - $50M
**T A M**: ~25,000 global consumer electronics and telecommunications retail chains × ~$80k/yr average enterprise talent assessment spend ≈ ~$2B
**Growth Rate**: ~14-19%/yr, driven by increasing consumer technology complexity (smart home ecosystems, AI hardware) demanding higher frontline product expertise despite persistent retail turnover
**Paid Comparable Spend**: ~$30k - $120k/yr per enterprise on generic video screening tools (e.g., HireVue, Spark Hire) and cognitive assessments (e.g., SHL), plus massive hidden costs in store-manager labor wasted interviewing technically unqualified candidates
