Evaluate whether and how to enter the market described in {market_opportunity}, reasoning through each gate before the next. (1) Size the opportunity honestly: the realistically addressable market (not the total market times a wishful share), the growth trajectory, and the segment you'd actually win first — a top-down TAM number is where market-entry cases most often deceive. (2) Assess the competitive structure: who holds the market, their advantages, and — critically — how they'd respond to your entry, since an incumbent's reaction can erase the opportunity the static analysis showed. (3) Identify your right to win: the specific, durable advantage that lets you take share rather than merely participate — without one, entering a market others already serve is value-destroying. (4) Choose the entry mode against that analysis — build, partner, or acquire — weighing speed, cost, control, and reversibility. (5) Model the unit economics at realistic scale, including the cost to acquire the first customers, which is highest at entry. (6) State the recommendation, the entry mode, and the single assumption (usually share capture or CAC) most likely to overturn it, with the threshold that flips the decision. Present opposing views: why a disciplined analyst might counsel staying out.
