Takes about 45 seconds. Results appear immediately and are emailed to you.
What Is an Adjacent Market?
An adjacent market is a segment, customer type, or offering that sits directly beside what you already do — close enough that your existing capabilities, relationships, equipment, and operating knowledge transfer into it without starting from zero.
It is not diversification. Diversification means entering a market where you have no particular advantage. Adjacency means entering one where you already hold an unfair advantage you have not monetised yet — a capability you already built, a customer base you already serve, a channel you already control.
That difference matters commercially. Adjacent expansion generally carries lower risk, shorter payback, and far less capital requirement than entering an unrelated market, because most of the cost has already been absorbed by the core business.
Why Adjacent Opportunities Get Missed
The opportunities closest to a business are the hardest for its own leadership to see. Founders and operators are, by definition, standing too close. The capability feels ordinary because you use it every day. The customer request that keeps coming up feels like a distraction from the core offer rather than a signal of demand.
The result is that companies pour effort into selling more of the same thing to the same market, while a lower-risk expansion sits one step to the side, unexamined. Structured assessment exists to correct for that blind spot — not because operators lack insight, but because proximity distorts judgement.
The Framework Behind AMOS
AMOS runs on the Wurzer Adjacency Framework (WAF) — a structured method for identifying and ranking expansion opportunities for mid-market companies.
The premise is straightforward: opportunity is not about where a company wants to go. It is about where existing capabilities can reach with the least friction, in a market that is already moving toward them.
WAF separates two distinct kinds of adjacency:
- External adjacency — new markets your existing capabilities can credibly serve
- Internal adjacency — what your existing customers are already buying elsewhere that you could be providing
Every candidate opportunity is then assessed across five dimensions:
- Capability Transfer — how much of your existing infrastructure applies without new build
- Market Accessibility — how easily you can reach buyers using relationships you already hold
- Competitive Vacancy — how empty the space is of credible competitors with equivalent assets
- Margin Structure — whether the market supports high-margin or recurring revenue
- Strategic Coherence — whether the move reinforces or dilutes your core business
The pattern that emerges repeatedly: the strongest adjacencies involve repackaging capability or data you already own for a buyer who already knows you — not building new operations.
The free AMOS scan applies a deliberately reduced version of this framework. It is scoped to establish whether a real opportunity exists and roughly how strong it is. Full WAF analysis — the complete dimension set, applied with supporting market research and capability inventory — is what happens in a paid engagement. The underlying scoring rubric and weighting remain proprietary.
What You Get From an AMOS Scan
AMOS returns a structured diagnostic rather than a generic report:
- An adjacency score from 0 to 100 — how much viable expansion potential currently sits around your business
- A specific identified opportunity — a named direction rather than an abstract category
- Financial projections for that opportunity
- A readiness assessment — whether your business is currently positioned to pursue it
The scan takes about 45 seconds. There is no cost and no obligation, and you are not required to speak to anyone to receive your results.
Who AMOS Is Built For
AMOS is designed for founder-led and owner-operated companies, typically between $5M and $75M in revenue, that have a proven core business and are looking for the next growth move without betting the company on it.
It is most useful when growth in the core market has slowed, when a business has capabilities that are clearly underused, or when customers keep asking for something adjacent to what is currently sold. It is also used by advisors, fractional CFOs, and accountants assessing expansion options on behalf of clients.
It is not built for pre-revenue startups or for businesses in financial distress. Adjacent expansion requires a stable core to expand from.
What Happens After the Scan
The scan is a starting point, not a sales funnel with a hidden hook. Most people run it, read the result, and act on it themselves.
Where a score suggests something worth pursuing seriously, the next step is a deeper opportunity assessment — evaluating the market, the economics, and the strategic fit properly rather than at diagnostic level. From there, engagement structures range from conventional advisory through to performance-based and equity partnerships. Those options are set out on the Partnership Models page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AMOS actually free?
Yes. There is no cost, no card, and no obligation to book a call to receive your results.
How long does it take?
About 45 seconds.
What information do I need to provide?
Basic details about your business and how it currently operates. You do not need financial statements, internal data, or system access.
What happens to my responses?
They are used only to generate your diagnostic. They are never sold, shared with third parties for marketing, or used for any purpose beyond producing your report.
What if my score comes back low?
That is a useful result. A low score usually means the strongest move available is to strengthen the core business before expanding — which saves you from spending capital on an expansion that was not ready.
Is this just an AI-generated report?
AMOS is an automated diagnostic, and it is deliberately scoped as one. It is designed to identify whether a real opportunity exists and is worth examining properly. It is not a substitute for a full opportunity assessment.
