Sizing the AIoT Market Honestly

Start here, because this is where most AI in IoT business plans lose the room. Open almost any plan written for this space and the market section quotes the global artificial intelligence figure: roughly $390.9B, growing above 30% a year. That number is real, and it is the wrong denominator. It contains model training, enterprise copilots, chip sales and every SaaS product that bolted a chat box onto a dashboard. Almost none of it is addressable by a company putting inference onto connected devices.

The AIoT-specific estimates are both smaller and far more interesting. For the same year, MarketsandMarkets (2025) puts the AI in IoT market at $25.44B, reaching $81.04B by 2030 at a 26.1% CAGR. Precedence Research (2025) puts it at $92.47B, rising to $171.03B by 2035. Mordor Intelligence (2025) says $60.71B at a 22.68% CAGR. Straits Research (2025) says $11.08B.

That is an eightfold spread between reputable houses describing the same year. An investor who has seen two AIoT decks already knows this, and the founder who cites one number without acknowledging the range looks like they read one press release.

How to pick your number and defend it

The rule is simple. Cite the estimate whose scope matches what you invoice for, and state the scope in the same sentence. If you sell an analytics subscription and the customer buys their own sensors, your market is closer to the Straits figure than the Precedence one, and pretending otherwise inflates a TAM you cannot reach. If you sell an integrated device with the model on board, the broader estimates are fair, because the hardware revenue is genuinely yours.

Then build bottom-up anyway. Top-down TAM slides are table stakes; the number that earns a second meeting is an asset count. A UK founder selling rotating-equipment monitoring can count pumps, motors and compressors per plant, multiply by plants in the target SIC codes, and multiply by an annual per-asset price they have actually quoted. That produces a smaller, uglier, far more persuasive figure than 1% of $92B.

Who actually buys, and what triggers the purchase

AIoT purchases are rarely made by someone excited about AI. They are made by an operations or reliability leader with a downtime number they are accountable for, or a facilities manager with an energy budget, or a fleet director with an insurance premium. The technology is a means; the trigger is a specific recurring loss.

• Industrial reliability buyers: plant managers and reliability engineers who can quantify an hour of unplanned downtime. Fastest to close when you can name the failure mode you catch and the lead time you give them.
• Fleet and logistics operators: buying usage-based maintenance scheduling and driver-behaviour signals, usually against fuel and insurance lines rather than downtime.
• Energy and buildings: HVAC optimisation and load shifting, where the AI decision is a setpoint and the proof is a metered bill.
• Healthcare and consumer wearables: continuous monitoring with anomaly detection. Highest regulatory drag, longest sales cycle, strongest retention once embedded.
• OEMs embedding your model: the highest-margin and slowest segment, where you become a component of someone else's product roadmap.

Your plan should say which of these you are chasing first and why the other four are deliberately deferred. Founders who claim all five read as founders who have sold to none.

The competitive picture

Three layers compete for the same budget, and they compete differently.

At the platform layer sit IBM, Cisco, AWS, Google and Microsoft, identified as the leading AIoT vendors by MarketsandMarkets (2025). They will not out-specialise you, but they will be the default the CIO reaches for, and your plan needs an answer to "why not just do this on Azure IoT Hub?"

At the applied layer sit the funded specialists. Augury runs its Halo platform on proprietary vibration sensors with AI diagnostics for motors, pumps and compressors, sells a high-tier annual subscription per asset, typically requires a multi-year commitment, and has raised around $369M. Samsara attacks the same predictive-maintenance job from fleet telematics, and is optimised for vehicles rather than stationary plant. Falkonry takes a different route entirely: Falkonry Clue builds predictive digital twins by ingesting from historians, PLCs and SCADA systems that already exist, selling no sensors at all.

That last distinction matters more than any feature comparison. Augury's model requires the customer to accept new hardware on their machines. Falkonry's requires the customer to already have instrumented plant. These are different businesses with different gross margins, different sales cycles and different capital needs, and a plan that has not chosen between them has not chosen a business.

At the substitute layer sits the thing you will actually lose to: a maintenance schedule, a spreadsheet, and an engineer who has worked the site for twenty years. Most AIoT pilots do not lose to a competitor. They lose to "we already sort of handle this," and your plan should model that objection as the primary competitor, because it is.

Questions Buyers and Investors Ask First

These come up in nearly every early AIoT conversation. Answer them crisply in the plan and you skip a meeting.

What is AIoT, and how is it different from ordinary IoT?

Ordinary IoT collects and transmits. AIoT collects, interprets and acts. The distinction is where the decision happens: a connected sensor that streams vibration data to a dashboard is IoT, and a human still decides. A device that classifies the vibration signature as an early bearing fault and raises a work order without being asked is AIoT. Commercially the difference is enormous, because the first sells a data feed and the second sells an outcome, and outcomes carry roughly triple the price.

How does AI actually work inside an IoT device?

Four stages. Sensors collect; a network moves the data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G or a low-power protocol such as LoRaWAN; a model analyses the stream, typically a neural network trained on labelled historical failures; and the system acts, either alerting a human or triggering a control action directly. The engineering difficulty is almost never the model. It is the labelling, because failures are rare by definition, and a customer with excellent uptime is a customer with almost no training data.

What is the difference between edge AI and cloud AI for connected devices?

Cloud AI sends the data to a remote model. Edge AI runs the model on the device itself, on a camera, sensor, phone or embedded board. Edge AI is a subclass of edge computing that specifically puts AI functions onto edge devices, and it buys you three things: latency low enough for control loops, operation when the link drops, and a privacy story, because keeping data on the local network keeps it out of scope for a lot of conversations you would rather not have. It costs you model size, update complexity and silicon. Most real deployments are hybrid: inference at the edge, training and fleet analytics in the cloud.

What are real-world examples of AI in IoT?

Manufacturing is the flagship: sensors on machines capture temperature, vibration and energy draw, and models flag the pattern that precedes a breakdown so maintenance happens before the line stops. Smart thermostats infer occupancy patterns and pre-condition the building, cutting energy spend. Wearables track heart rate, sleep and activity continuously and surface irregularities early. Aviation instruments subsystems and predicts faults, reducing delays and improving safety. Each of these is the same shape: continuous signal, rare event, expensive consequence.

Does an AI in IoT product fall under the EU AI Act?

Possibly, and the answer is worth money. The Act classifies by use case, not by technology. AIoT deployed into critical infrastructure, biometric identification, employment decisions or access to essential services lands in the high-risk category, with the full conformity assessment, technical documentation, CE marking and EU database registration burden. A vibration sensor predicting pump failure in a private factory generally does not. The same sensor on a water utility's pumps might, because that is critical infrastructure. See the compliance section below for the dates and the fines.

What It Costs to Reach First Revenue

An AIoT venture that ships hardware and software typically needs $45,000 to $310,000 (£36,000 to £248,000) to get from concept to a paid pilot. The range is wide because two structurally different businesses hide inside the same keyword. A software-only analytics layer riding on the customer's existing instrumentation can reach first revenue near the bottom of that band. A venture designing its own sensor, certifying the radio, and carrying conformity work for three jurisdictions will exceed the top of it.

The line that surprises founders is compliance. In a 2022 plan it was a footnote. With the EU AI Act's remaining provisions applying from 2 August 2026 and Cyber Resilience Act reporting obligations from 11 September 2026, conformity is now a design-phase cost with a hard date attached, and lenders have started asking about it directly.

Cost breakdown

• Embedded and ML engineering: $18K–$120K (£14K–£96K). Two skill sets, rarely in one person. Budget for both or budget for delay.
• Compliance and conformity work: $8K–$55K (£6K–£44K). Technical file, conformity assessment route, CE marking, statement of compliance.
• Edge hardware prototype fleet: $6K–$40K (£5K–£32K). Compute modules, sensors, enclosures, and the three revisions you have not budgeted for.
• Cloud ingest, storage and training: $4K–$36K (£3K–£29K). Smaller than founders fear. See the worked example below.
• Security testing and SBOM tooling: $4K–$25K (£3K–£20K). The CRA requires a CycloneDX or SPDX software bill of materials, so this is no longer optional for EU sales.
• Certification and lab fees: $3K–$22K (£2K–£18K). Radio and EMC testing, plus CyberLAB testing if you pursue the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.
• Pilot deployment and field support: $2K–$12K (£2K–£10K) for the first site. This scales with sites, and it scales badly. Plan for it.

Funding routes

In the US, SBA 7(a) loans (up to $5M) are the workhorse, with equipment financing available against the hardware line and SBIR grants realistic for genuinely novel edge work. In the UK, Start Up Loans (up to £25,000 at 6% fixed) will not carry an integrated-device launch on their own, but they combine well with SEIS, which is unusually well suited to AIoT because the R&D-heavy pre-revenue period is exactly what the scheme was designed to de-risk. Innovate UK grants are worth pursuing where the edge work is genuinely novel rather than an integration exercise.

A note on sequencing that saves founders months: SEIS advance assurance and an SBA application both want the same artefacts, a defensible forecast and a clear use of funds, so build the financial model once and reuse it. Our market research and content package exists for exactly this, and the free business plan template will get you to a first draft.

Edge Hardware: A Real Bill of Materials

Business plans for this space are notorious for a hardware line that reads "prototype hardware: $25,000" with no working. Investors who have funded a device company before will open that line first. Here is what the silicon actually costs in 2026, with named parts and current prices, so your BOM can survive the question.

• NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, $249. Up to 67 TOPS, a 1.7x uplift on its predecessor. The default when your model is a real vision or multimodal workload and you need headroom. Overkill for time-series anomaly detection.
• Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ (13 TOPS, Hailo-8L), $70. The cheapest credible way to put accelerated inference on a Pi-class board. Good for single-stream classification.
• Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ (26 TOPS, Hailo-8), $110. Double the throughput for $40. Usually the right call over the 13 TOPS variant if there is any chance of a second model on the device.
• Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2, $130. Hailo-10H with 8GB LPDDR4X, 40 TOPS INT8, and a 3W peak. The onboard memory is the story: it makes small local language models viable on the device, which was not true a generation ago.
• Google Coral USB Accelerator, $60–$75. The lowest-friction retrofit. Plugs into existing hardware, which matters when you are proving a concept on a customer's machine next week.
• Google Coral Dev Board, around $130. Integrated single-board option where you want Coral's toolchain without hanging a USB stick off a Pi.
• Sensors, enclosure and mounting. Frequently underestimated. An industrial-rated accelerometer, a sealed enclosure and a mount that survives a factory floor routinely cost more than the compute module.
• Connectivity module and data plan. Cellular is simplest and dearest; LoRaWAN is cheap per node and expensive to deploy; Wi-Fi is free until the customer's IT security team enters the conversation.

Two observations worth putting in the plan. First, the 3W figure on the AI HAT+ 2 is a commercial fact, not a technical one, because power budget determines whether a node can run on battery, and battery determines whether an installer needs an electrician, and that determines your deployment cost per site. Second, the gap between a $70 accelerator and a $249 dev kit is trivial against engineering time, so choosing silicon to save $180 per unit while burning three engineer-weeks on optimisation is a bad trade at pilot scale and a good one at ten thousand units. Your plan should say which regime you are in.

Do not put developer-kit prices in a volume BOM. Dev kits carry a margin that module pricing does not, and any hardware investor will know the difference. Model the pilot on dev-kit pricing and the production run on module pricing, show both, and state the volume at which you switch.

Pricing, Margin and the Unit That Sells

The single most consequential decision in an AIoT plan is what you charge per. Get the unit wrong and no amount of growth fixes it, because you will be pricing against a number the buyer does not track.

Per-device pricing is the intuitive choice and usually the wrong one. Your buyer does not have a device problem. They have an asset problem, a line problem or a downtime problem, and if a critical compressor needs four sensors while a spare pump needs one, per-device pricing charges four times more for the thing that matters and undercharges the thing that does not. Augury's model is instructive: it prices per asset on a multi-year commitment, which aligns the invoice with the customer's own reliability accounting.

Revenue streams that work in this niche

• Per-asset annual subscription: $180–$1,200 per asset per year, depending on criticality and the depth of diagnostics. The core line for industrial AIoT.
• Hardware at cost-plus: a margin of 15–35% on the physical node. Treat it as a way to fund deployment, not as a profit centre, and never let it carry the business case.
• Outcome or gainshare fees: a share of avoided downtime or energy saved. Slow to negotiate, powerful once signed, and it requires a baseline both parties trust before you start.
• Platform and integration fees: a per-site or per-tenant charge covering historian, SCADA and CMMS integration work. Falkonry's ingest-what-exists approach makes this the primary line rather than a side one.
• Model licensing to OEMs: highest margin, longest cycle, and it makes your roadmap a dependency of theirs.

Gross margin at the software layer runs 55–78%. Blend in hardware and it falls to 34–52%. Net margin at reasonable scale lands in the 12–30% band, and anyone promising more in year two is promising a deployment cost curve that has never occurred.

A worked example, with the cloud bill computed rather than guessed

Take a 400-asset vibration-monitoring deployment priced at $420 per asset per year. That is $168,000 of ARR.

Now the platform cost, which founders routinely inflate by an order of magnitude. Each node emits one 4KB telemetry message every 30 seconds. That is 2,880 messages per device per day, so roughly 1.15 million messages per day across the fleet, or about 35 million per month. AWS IoT Core (2026) charges $1.00 per million messages in us-east-1 for the first billion per month, metered in 5KB increments, so a 4KB message counts as one. That is about $35 per month in ingest. Add $0.08 per million connection minutes and $0.15 per million rules triggered, plus $0.15 per million actions executed, and the whole platform bill is roughly $52 per month. Call it $625 per year against $168,000 of ARR, or 0.37% of revenue.

The Azure IoT Hub (2026) equivalent is worth modelling too, because the pricing shape is different rather than merely cheaper. The base message rate is $0.80 per million, but you buy tiered units: S1 at $25 per month gives 400,000 messages per day per unit, S2 at $250 gives 6 million, and S3 at $2,500 gives 300 million. Our fleet needs 1.15 million messages a day, so it fits in three S1 units ($75/month) or one S2 ($250/month). At this scale AWS is cheaper; at 5 million messages a day the S2 unit wins outright. This is precisely the kind of detail that separates a plan someone built from a plan someone generated.

Here is the point that reframes the whole model. The cloud bill is $625 a year. The same deployment will consume $60,000 to $90,000 of field engineering, installation and false-positive triage in year one, roughly a hundred times the platform cost. Founders spend weeks optimising the line that is 0.37% of revenue and no time at all on the line that is 40% of it. Your plan should invert that attention, and the reviewer who notices you did will take the rest of the document seriously.

The number that actually governs this business

False-positive rate. Not accuracy, not F1, not TOPS. If your system cries wolf twice a month, a maintenance crew stops responding by month three and the renewal is dead regardless of how good the model is on the remaining alerts. Model the alert volume per site per month, the triage cost per alert, and the precision threshold below which the customer disengages. Almost no plan in this space does this, and it is the assumption on which the retention line rests.

Operating priorities for year one

• Instrument your own deployment cost per site from the first pilot. It is your real gross margin driver, and it only becomes visible if you measure it before you scale.
• Define the labelling loop early. Failures are rare, so every real failure a customer experiences is a training asset, and there needs to be a process that captures it.
• Track precision and alert volume per site as owner-level KPIs alongside ARR and churn.
• Ship an over-the-air update path before the first commercial unit leaves. UK PSTI requires a published support period with an end date, and you cannot honour a five-year commitment on a device you cannot reach.

SBA Lending Reality for AIoT Founders

Most US AIoT ventures classify under NAICS 541512, Computer Systems Design Services. That code carries real lending data, and it is worth knowing before you walk into a bank with an ask built on hope.

Source: PeerSense SBA industry data, NAICS 541512 (2026). Figures aggregate SBA loan records across programs.

Three things follow for your plan. First, the $226K average sits comfortably inside our $45K–$310K launch band, which means an SBA 7(a) loan is a realistic primary instrument for an AIoT venture rather than a stretch. Second, the code's average is a third below the $340K national figure, so an ask of $600K against this NAICS will draw scrutiny that an ask of $220K will not; if you need the larger number, justify it with the hardware and certification lines specifically rather than with growth ambition.

Third, and most usefully, roughly 6% of loans to this code use the 504 program for fixed-asset acquisition while the majority use 7(a) for its flexibility across working capital, equipment and acquisition. AIoT founders sit awkwardly across that split, because they have a genuine equipment line and a genuine working-capital line. The practical answer is usually 7(a) for the blend, with equipment financing considered separately against the hardware if the fleet is large enough to secure it. Lending to the code has grown around 46% over recent fiscal years, so the appetite is there; what is scarce is a forecast a credit committee believes.

What that committee wants is unglamorous: realistic revenue projections rather than a hockey stick, a clear collateral position, demonstrated repayment capacity, and evidence that the founder has sold something to someone. A signed pilot at $30,000 does more for an SBA application than a $92B TAM slide.

The 2026–27 Compliance Stack

This is the section that has changed most since the last generation of AIoT plans, and it is the one where a generic template will actively cost you money. An AI in IoT product sits at the intersection of two regulatory regimes that used to be separate: rules about AI systems, and rules about connected devices. Both now have dates inside the next eighteen months.

European Union: the AI Act

The remaining provisions of the EU AI Act become applicable on 2 August 2026, covering Articles 9 to 17 (provider requirements) and Article 26 (deployer requirements) for high-risk systems. High-risk classification catches AI used in biometric identification, critical infrastructure, education, employment, access to essential services including credit scoring and insurance, law enforcement, migration and the administration of justice. Several of those are squarely AIoT territory.

By that date, high-risk systems need a completed conformity assessment, finalised technical documentation, CE marking affixed, and registration in the EU database. There are two assessment routes: Annex VI internal control, where the provider self-assesses, which covers most high-risk categories and requires no external body but full documentation; and Annex VII notified body assessment, where an external party audits the quality management system and technical file, required for biometric systems where harmonised standards are not fully applied.

Penalties are tiered: up to €35M or 7% of global turnover for prohibited practices, and up to €15M or 3% of turnover for high-risk non-compliance. Beyond the fine, national authorities can withdraw a non-compliant system from the EU market entirely, which for a device business is the more serious outcome.

One live nuance to track rather than assume: the "AI omnibus" proposal adopted on 19 November 2025 reached political agreement on 7 May 2026, and under it rules for several high-risk areas, including biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, migration and border control, apply from 2 December 2027 instead. Your plan should name the date you are working to and note that the timeline moved, because a reviewer who knows this file will check whether you do. See the EU AI Act implementation timeline for the current position.

European Union: the Cyber Resilience Act

The Cyber Resilience Act entered into force on 10 December 2024 and applies to almost any product with digital elements on the EU market, including IoT devices, industrial components and their remote data processing. Non-EU manufacturers are in scope if their products reach EU buyers, so a US AIoT startup with three European customers is regulated.

• 11 September 2026: reporting obligations bite. Manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents, with 24-hour reporting for exploited vulnerabilities.
• 11 December 2027: the main obligations apply in full.
• Throughout: security by design, a CycloneDX or SPDX software bill of materials, lifecycle vulnerability management, and a minimum five-year support period.
• Penalties: up to €15M or 2.5% of global turnover.

The five-year support period is the line with balance-sheet consequences. It converts every unit you ship into a five-year engineering liability, and that belongs in the financial model as a cost of goods, not as a footnote.

United Kingdom: the PSTI regime

The Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 and the Security Requirements Regulations 2023 have been in force since 29 April 2024. Enforcement sits with the OPSS, the Office for Product Safety and Standards, on behalf of DSIT.

• No default passwords. Every device must require the user to set unique credentials.
• A vulnerability disclosure route. A published means for anyone to report a security issue to the manufacturer.
• A published minimum support period with an end date, disclosed alongside pre-contractual information at the point of offer.
• A statement of compliance accompanying the product, naming product type and batch, manufacturer name and address, and the support period.
• Duties run down the chain to importers and distributors, not just manufacturers.

Two traps. The regime applies at the point of sale regardless of when the product was manufactured, so old stock is not grandfathered. And penalties reach £10M or 4% of worldwide revenue, with daily penalties up to £20,000 for continuing breaches. OPSS can issue enforcement notices requiring you to stop supply or recall.

Also required in the UK: Companies House registration, HMRC corporation tax registration, VAT once turnover exceeds £90,000, and ICO registration with the data protection fee (£52 to £3,763 a year depending on size) before you process personal data. Cyber Essentials is not mandatory but is frequently a procurement gate for B2B buyers.

United States

• FCC U.S. Cyber Trust Mark. Voluntary consumer IoT cyber label. The ioXt Alliance was named Lead Administrator effective 13 April 2026. Products are tested by an accredited, FCC-recognised CyberLAB, then reviewed by a Cybersecurity Label Administrator. The label carries a QR code linking to a public registry. Critically, by 4 January 2027 all vendors supplying consumer IoT products to the U.S. government must carry the mark, which makes a voluntary programme mandatory for anyone with federal ambitions.
• FCC equipment authorisation under Part 15 for the radio module, before any wireless device is marketed.
• State business registration and EIN, plus multi-state sales tax nexus registration once you sell across state lines.
• SOC 2 Type II. Not statutory, but contractually unavoidable for enterprise sales. Budget $20K–$60K and a 6 to 12 month observation window, and start it earlier than feels comfortable, because the window is the constraint, not the audit.
• Cyber liability insurance, increasingly a condition of industrial deployment contracts.

Other jurisdictions

• Canada: federal business number from the CRA plus provincial or territorial registration. No AIoT-specific device regime yet, though CRA-aligned expectations are appearing in procurement.
• UAE: free-zone or mainland licence, TDRA type approval for radio equipment, and immigration and visa sponsorship setup for staff.

The strategic point: these regimes are converging on the same demands, which are a documented technical file, an SBOM, a disclosure route and a committed support window. Build that once, properly, and you satisfy most of them. Treat each as a separate fire drill and you will pay three times.

Terms Investors Will Test You On

AIoT carries more jargon than most niches, and investors use it as a screening device. Using these terms loosely signals that you have read about the space rather than worked in it.

• AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things): the integration of AI into IoT devices and systems so they gather data, analyse it in real time and act without human intervention. The operative phrase is "without human intervention"; if a person still decides, you have IoT with a dashboard.
• Edge AI: running AI models directly on the device, whether a camera, sensor, phone or embedded board, rather than in the cloud. A subclass of edge computing specifically concerned with putting AI functions on edge devices, not merely offloading compute from the cloud. Investors will notice if you use the two interchangeably.
• TOPS (tera-operations per second): the headline throughput figure on accelerators, from 13 TOPS on a Hailo-8L to 67 TOPS on a Jetson Orin Nano Super. A capacity ceiling, not a performance guarantee; real throughput depends on quantisation, memory bandwidth and thermal headroom.
• Inference vs training: inference is running a trained model on new data, cheap and done at the edge. Training builds the model, expensive and done in the cloud. Confusing the two produces cost models that are wrong by orders of magnitude.
• SBOM (software bill of materials): a machine-readable inventory of every component in your software, in CycloneDX or SPDX format. Mandatory under the Cyber Resilience Act, and the fastest way to fail a procurement review if absent.
• Digital twin: a live model of a physical asset fed by its telemetry. Falkonry's "predictive digital twin" framing is the commercially serious version, built from historians, PLCs and SCADA rather than a 3D rendering.
• LoRaWAN: a low-power wide-area protocol for battery nodes reporting infrequently over long ranges. Cheap per node, meaningful gateway infrastructure, wrong choice for anything high-bandwidth.
• Conformity assessment: the EU procedure proving a high-risk AI system meets requirements before market entry. Annex VI is self-assessment with full documentation; Annex VII requires a notified body. Knowing which route applies to you is a fundable level of specificity.

What's in the Template

Every Avvale business plan template includes these sections, pre-structured for your industry:

• Executive Summary: your business at a glance, written to hook investors in 60 seconds
• Company Overview: legal structure, ownership, location, and founding story
• Industry Analysis: market size, growth trends, and the regulatory position
• Customer Analysis: target segments, pain points, and buying triggers
• Competitor Analysis: competitive mapping and your differentiation strategy
• Marketing Plan: channels, messaging, and customer acquisition strategy
• Operations Plan: day-to-day workflows, staffing structure, and key milestones
• Management Team: founder bios, advisory board, and key hires planned

For an AI in IoT plan specifically, we would push you to add two sections the standard structure does not force: a conformity plan naming your assessment route and target date, and a deployment cost model showing cost per site falling with volume. Those two are what a technical investor opens first.

The optional Financial Forecast add-on (included in our $300/£250 and $1,000/£800 packages) provides a 5-year Excel model with income statement, cash flow, balance sheet, break-even analysis, and startup capital requirements. If you want the market sizing done bottom-up from asset counts rather than lifted from a press release, that is what the research and content package covers.
