WHAT THIS SKILL DOES

This skill gives Claude deep context about DTC market analysis methodology. Instead of generic responses, Claude becomes a specialist market researcher — using frameworks built specifically for direct-to-consumer category analysis.

It structures output around the metrics and decisions that matter to founders: addressable market size, consumer behaviour shifts, competitive density, whitespace opportunities, and entry barriers.

TAM / SAM / SOM sizing with DTC-specific assumptions
Consumer trend analysis and behaviour mapping
