How we sized the market.
Our TAM, SAM, and SOM are derived bottom-up from Eurostat enterprise data and publicly available funding disclosures – not top-down from analyst market reports. The numbers are inferences, not facts, and we present them as such.
€1.28B
Total Addressable Market
Eurostat's structural business statistics (2024) counts 16,000 EU-based manufacturing enterprises with more than 250 employees. These represent our core ICP: organisations large enough to have complex, multi-tier supplier relationships; subject to CSDDD and LkSG due diligence obligations; and with procurement functions that own supply chain risk as a dedicated budget line.
We apply an annual contract value of €80,000. This is a value-based estimate: a large EU manufacturer with significant cross-border sourcing exposure faces disruption costs that routinely exceed this figure in a single incident. KPMG's 2026 supply chain survey found that 39% of senior executives named risk management as their top investment priority, with most companies increasing supply chain spend to 11–15% of revenue. At that budget scale, €80k represents a modest line item relative to the cost of the problem it addresses. The figure will be validated and revised through pilot engagements.

€320M
Serviceable Addressable Market
Not all 16,000 manufacturers are equally addressable. We apply a 25% filter representing organisations with genuinely complex, multi-region supply chains and active cross-border regulatory exposure – the segment where Knovolo's causal intelligence layer delivers most value over incumbent tools.
The filter reflects two practical constraints: CSDDD scope thresholds, which apply most acutely to companies with significant third-country sourcing exposure; and multi-country supply chain complexity, which creates the strongest buying trigger for structured event intelligence over generic alert feeds.
€16M ARR
Serviceable Obtainable Market
We target 200 customers over a 10-year horizon at €80k ACV, producing €16M ARR – approximately 1.25% of TAM. For context, Everstream Analytics raised $50M at Series B in April 2023, led by Morgan Stanley Investment Management and StepStone Group, while reporting two consecutive years of doubled year-over-year bookings. At typical B2B SaaS Series B valuation multiples of 10–20x ARR, this implies ARR of $7.5M–25M – a comparable share of the same market. This is an inference from publicly available information, not a stated figure.
We consider our target conservative for one specific reason: the regulatory tailwinds driving enterprise buying decisions – CSDDD, LkSG, EUDR – did not exist for earlier market entrants. Compliance obligations are converting supply chain risk intelligence from a discretionary investment into a mandatory budget line.
