Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Broker discovery and comparison

No explicit market-size figures for broker discovery & comparison platforms were present in the provided results. I used the Transparency Market Research (data brokers) report as a high-level industry context and the ISS MarketPro page (scale of 3M+ financial professionals) to ground estimates. Assumptions: a large global retail investor base with a modest annual share that actively searches and switches brokers (~10% of addressable retail investors per year), and average monetization per acquired/funded account (affiliate/referral/ad revenue) of roughly $100–$200. Example illustrative calc: 20 million monetizable referrals × $150 average revenue ≈ $3.0B. Given ongoing fintech adoption, digital onboarding, and affiliate lead models, a reasonable near-term growth potential is ~10% CAGR.

Market research and outlook reports

Used reported global market-research-services figures as the baseline (Research & Markets cited by Moody Media: ~$96.8B in 2026, ~$116.0B by 2030; 3.6% CAGR). The "market research and outlook reports" niche for wealth-management firms is a small specialized subset of total MR services. Assuming this niche represents roughly 2–4% of global MR services (weighted toward higher-value bespoke/strategic reports), I estimate a ~USD 3.0B addressable market today and slightly higher growth than the broad market because of continued demand for specialized financial outlooks, digital analytics and advisory support—hence a modestly above-market CAGR forecast (~4.5%). Key assumptions: niche share (2–4%), premium pricing for bespoke wealth-management products, and slightly faster adoption of analytics/AI-driven insights in financial services.

Consumer protection and scam intelligence

Estimated consumer protection and scam intelligence represents a small consumer-facing subset of broader fraud detection/prevention and identity protection markets. Using published global FDP market sizes (USD 35–67B range) and identity/fraud protection market (USD 8.5B) as anchors, I conservatively allocate ~0.5 billion USD to community-driven reporting/intelligence (roughly 0.7–1% of larger markets). Growth potential (CAGR ~12%) is set between the consumer identity protection CAGR (~7%) and enterprise FDP CAGR (~17.5%), reflecting accelerating consumer awareness, AI-enabled tooling, and platform network effects.
