Market Research for the Support and Problem Solving space
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Understand the space of Support, giving / getting help and problem solving.
I am hoping the questions below will help me understand the business and market opportunity, including the total addressable market (TAM) and total serviceable market in this space.
My top priority is to answer these for the US, but would also love some data for the rest of the world, in this order: Europe, Asia and Africa.
A description of how you got the specific numbers / conclusions, including relevant sources is required.
I'm looking for a 3-day turnaround, but I am also interested in having an option to continue and go deeper after that.
