Behind the Numbers

Every datapoint in your Excel goes through a rigorous, multi-layered research process. Here's exactly how we turn raw intelligence into analyst-verified market estimates you can trust in boardrooms.

Data Foundation

Powered by 70,000+ Research Reports

Every estimately estimate begins with DataHorizzon Research — our proprietary intelligence backbone with one of the largest repositories of syndicated market research in the industry.

DataHorizzon Research Repository

Our data engine draws from a continuously updated library of market intelligence spanning every major industry vertical — from semiconductors to pharmaceuticals, energy to fintech. This isn't scraped data or AI hallucinations. It's structured, source-validated research compiled by domain analysts over the past decade.

Updated quarterly with new reports, revised forecasts, and expanded country coverage across all active sectors.

Estimation Approach

Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up

We don't rely on a single estimation method. Every market size figure is triangulated using two independent approaches — and only published when both converge within an acceptable variance range.

APPROACH 1

🔻 Top-Down Approach

Starts from the macro level and narrows down. We begin with the total industry output or global market value from established databases, then apply filters to isolate the specific market segment.

How it works:

1. Begin with total industry revenue from government statistics, trade associations, and international bodies (World Bank, IMF, UN Comtrade)

2. Apply segmentation ratios derived from industry reports to isolate the target market

3. Use regional GDP contribution, industry concentration, and trade data to break down by geography

4. Cross-reference with company financial disclosures, annual reports, and investor presentations for revenue benchmarks

Best for: Mature markets with established industry-level data. Provides the overall market ceiling and validates bottom-up estimates.

APPROACH 2

🔺 Bottom-Up Approach

Starts from individual data points and builds upward. We aggregate company-level revenues, unit shipments, pricing data, and capacity utilization to construct the market from its components.

How it works:

1. Identify all major and mid-tier players in the market using competitive intelligence databases

2. Extract segment-specific revenue from annual reports, SEC filings, investor calls, and press releases

3. Estimate private company revenues using employee count proxies, funding data, and market share intelligence

4. Aggregate across all players, add tail-end estimates for smaller firms, and validate against import/export data

Best for: Emerging and fragmented markets. Provides granular accuracy and validates the top-down ceiling.

🎯 Triangulation & Convergence

Both approaches are run independently. If estimates converge within a 5-8% variance, the average is taken as the final figure. If variance exceeds this threshold, our analysts investigate the gap — checking for missing players, data anomalies, or structural market shifts — until the numbers align.

Why 60 minutes — not instant?

We intentionally avoid fully automated delivery because market data requires human judgment. An AI can pull numbers, but only an analyst can spot when a segmentation doesn't fit the market, when a country's numbers look off relative to its economic size, or when recent regulatory changes have shifted demand patterns. The 60-minute window gives our research team enough time to review, adjust, and sign off on every datapoint — so you get numbers you can present to leadership, not numbers you have to second-guess.

Quality Assurance

Four Layers of Validation

Every report passes through four independent quality checks before it reaches your inbox.

🔢

Numerical Consistency

Region totals must sum to global. Country totals must sum to region. CAGR must align with year-on-year growth.

📐

Proportionality Check

Country market shares validated against GDP ratios, industrial output, and known consumption patterns.

🔄

Cross-Reference

Estimates compared against at least 2 independent sources. Outliers are investigated and adjusted.

Analyst Sign-Off

Senior analyst reviews the final Excel for logical consistency, formatting accuracy, and data integrity before delivery.
