Most people I’ve seen getting it wrong don’t know what they’re looking for and start talking all over the place.

If you’re looking for revenues, that’s units x price. How do you find units and price individually? Break it down in small pieces. Unit should be market size x market share. Don’t try to solve it all at once, try to identify the individual pieces and ask for the ones you’re missing.
