   SAM (online grocery). Identify and list the key drivers: 
   population, grocery basket size, purchase frequencies, online 
   penetration, and any other material factors for each city.
   Research grocery and eating trends to inform your choice of drivers
2. Research and document baseline 2025 values and trajectories 
   towards 2035 for each driver identified in Step 1. Include 
   source or methodology for each data point.
3. Build a 2025-2035 market model in the workbook that calculates 
   TAM and SAM for each year using the drivers and assumptions 
   from Steps 1 and 2.

   opportunities based on the analysis.

Revenue Build-Up

Create detailed revenue forecasts.
Build two analyses based on the customer data in the Data sheet 
for 2018-2025. Place output in Analysis sheet starting at cell B5.

1. Customer count waterfall: customers at beginning of year, 
   customers added, customers churned (lost), customers at 
   end of year.

2. NRR analysis: revenue at BoP, new revenue, revenue upsell, 
   full churn, contraction, revenue at EoP.

Below the two analyses, add a metrics section with: Logo churn %, 
Revenue churn excl contraction, Revenue churn incl contraction, 
Revenue expansion, Revenue growth from new logos.

3. Build a cost benchmarking analysis comparing our costs to 
   benchmarks from Step 2. Identify the 2-3 cost lines most 
   above benchmark and quantify the savings opportunity if
