That's why we tend to rely on research companies like Gartner to define what a market is and to use the tools and techniques they trust to produce verifiable market data and indicative answers to marketing questions. There may be a better way but I don't know of one, I'm sorry to say. Thanks for your question and comments. Mark Hi Vishal,

These anlysts have been doing this for amny years and all of them have got their own modelling tools and techniques. It is upto us to decide whom to abide by and whom to reject.
