How it works
Enter comparable evidence
Replace the example values with current counts, costs, coverage, or capacity relevant to this method: Identifies possible direct, indirect, data, marketplace, social, or ecosystem network effects.
Review the transparent signal
The result shows its arithmetic and assumptions, then points to the most decision-critical evidence gap to resolve next.
Frequently asked questions
What does Network Effect Type Selector calculate?
It turns the entered product-strategy evidence into a bounded estimate or decision signal for this purpose: Identifies possible direct, indirect, data, marketplace, social, or ecosystem network effects.
How should I choose the measurement period?
Use one recent, representative period or one clearly named scenario. Keep all counts, costs, percentages, and evidence definitions aligned to it.
Is the result a prediction or professional advice?
No. It is a transparent planning signal based on your inputs, not a forecast, guarantee, legal opinion, financial opinion, or substitute for customer and operational evidence.
When should I update the Network Effect Type Selector?
Recalculate when the target customer, strategic choice, evidence, costs, capacity, dependencies, market conditions, or decision threshold changes materially.
