What This Plugin Does
Once installed, Claude gains deep expertise in management consulting — from market sizing and competitive analysis to M&A strategy and digital transformation. You get structured, consultant-grade deliverables instead of generic answers.
Before this plugin: “Can you help me analyze my market?”
→ Generic bullet points
After this plugin: /market-scan HR software for mid-market companies
→ TAM/SAM/SOM sizing, growth drivers, competitive landscape, regulatory trends, key players, and strategic implications — structured like a McKinsey engagement

Key Assumptions & Risks
- NRR assumed at 112%, declining to 110% as base grows
- S&M spend dropping from 45% to 38% of revenue (efficiency gains)
- Risk: If NRR drops below 105%, Rule of 40 target at risk in bear case
