Feasibility study on three markets in one afternoon.

Instead of three consulting engagements, the team runs Atlas deep-analysis on Germany, Netherlands and Spain in parallel. Within four hours they have scored reports on regulation, competitive density and recommended local partner types. Germany scores 81/100 and becomes market one, at a fraction of the cost of a comparable multi-week consultancy engagement.

    Describe the task

    Atlas can take one business description and run a full feasibility study across several markets at once, no separate engagement per country. It scores each market on regulation, competitive density, demand signals, and recommended local partner types, then ranks them so a leadership team can pick market one with evidence instead of instinct.

    The more precise your prompt, the sharper the ranking. Tell Atlas what you sell, who buys it, and which dimensions decide the call, and every market comes back scored the same way against the same rubric.

    Run a feasibility study on Germany, Netherlands, and Spain for our cloud HR-software product. For each market: - Assess regulatory load: employment data laws, GDPR specifics, works-council rules - Map competitive density: incumbent HR suites and local challengers - Gauge demand signals for mid-market HR software (200-2,000 headcount buyers) - Recommend a local partner type for go-to-market Score each market 0-100 and rank them. End with a one-line call on which market to enter first and why, with citations for every regulatory claim.

    Give Atlas context

    In an Atlas workspace, describe the product once and name the markets to compare. Atlas holds the same scoring rubric across all three, so Germany and Spain are judged on identical dimensions rather than drifting country to country.

    Give Atlas your real buyer profile and any hard constraints, data-residency requirements, languages you can support, deal sizes you can service. Vague inputs ("European HR buyers") produce a vaguer ranking than a profile with concrete thresholds.

    Required context
    A business description, what you sell, your buyer, and current pricing
    The list of target markets to compare, here Germany, Netherlands, and Spain
    Optional context
    A constraints note, data-residency rules, supported languages, minimum serviceable deal size
    A competitor watch-list, so Atlas benchmarks against names you already track
    A weighting instruction, if regulation should outweigh competition in the final score

    What Atlas creates

    Atlas dispatches eight specialist agents per market and cross-checks their findings against the same rubric. You get a scored, ranked feasibility report with citations for every regulatory claim, a recommended partner type per market, and a clear call on which market to enter first.

    "Germany scores 81 and is the clear first move, works-council rules are the only real friction and I have mapped the process. Want me to draft the German entry plan, or run a fourth market to compare against Spain?"

    Follow-up prompts

    Turn the winner into an entry plan

    Once Germany is chosen, Atlas can expand the top-ranked market into a concrete 90-day entry plan, partner shortlist, regulatory checklist, and localisation scope, using the same evidence base.

    Take the Germany result and build a 90-day market-entry plan: shortlist 3 reseller partners with payroll-integration expertise, list the works-council compliance steps, and estimate localisation effort for the product and contracts.

    Add a fourth market to the comparison

    Feasibility calls sharpen with one more data point. Atlas can score an additional market against the same rubric so the ranking stays directly comparable.

    Add Poland to the study using the exact scoring rubric already applied to Germany, Netherlands, and Spain, then re-rank all four and tell me if it changes the order.

    Track these markets for drift

    Feasibility is a point-in-time read. Atlas can save Germany, Netherlands, and Spain as tracked markets and flag drift when regulation or the competitive picture shifts, so you re-run the study only when something material moves.

    Save Germany, Netherlands, and Spain as tracked markets and flag me when regulatory load or competitive density drifts materially from this analysis, so I know when to re-run the scored, ranked report.

    Tips and troubleshooting

    Name the dimensions that decide the call

    A study that scores everything equally hides the trade-off. Tell Atlas whether regulation, competition, or demand should carry the most weight, and the final ranking reflects the decision you are actually making.

    Parallel runs finish together

    Three markets scored in parallel take about four hours end to end, not three times one market. You can close the tab and have Atlas notify you when all reports land rather than watching each agent.

    Regulatory claims come with citations

    Every regulation Atlas flags links to its source, so legal can verify before you commit budget. If you need the citations formatted for a board memo, ask and Atlas will structure them as a reference appendix.
