Common Analysis Pitfalls:

Overestimating TAM

WRONG: "All 28M developers = TAM"
RIGHT: "Enterprise devs in AI-forward companies = 2.4M"

Ignoring Competitive Response

WRONG: "GitHub won't add ADR features"
RIGHT: "Plan for GitHub competitive response in 12-18 months"

Unrealistic Growth Assumptions

WRONG: "10x growth every year"
RIGHT: "5x Y1→Y2, 4x Y2→Y3, 2.5x Y3→Y4"
