⚡ How to Build a Market Model in Minutes with Lio

Ask any analyst what takes the most time in a project, and the answer is almost always the same: building the first model.

Collecting data, defining assumptions, structuring the driver tree — it’s a process that can eat up days before a single insight sees the light of day.

But what if building a market model was as simple as writing a sentence?

That’s what Lio is designed for.

The Traditional Workflow

In a typical consulting project, the market sizing process looks something like this:

1. Gather market reports and public data.

2. Build an Excel structure from scratch.

3. Check numbers, formulas, and references.

4. Review, revise, repeat.

It’s manual, fragile, and slow.

Worse, every consultant builds differently — meaning models rarely scale or stay consistent across teams.

That inconsistency is what kills speed and quality in consulting.

The Lio Workflow

Now imagine this: you open Lio, and instead of building from scratch, you talk to it.

“Hey Lio, size the European EV charging infrastructure market between 2019 and 2029.”

Within seconds, Lio pulls relevant data points, builds a driver tree, and generates a model framework that you can inspect, test, and adapt.

Then you refine it:

“Focus on residential and commercial segments.”

“Add CAGR assumptions based on IEA forecasts.”

“Export to Excel.”

No coding, no formula errors, no wasted time.

Lio automates the heavy lifting so you can focus on validating and interpreting results.

Why This Matters

Speed isn’t just about working faster.

It’s about unlocking mental space for higher-value thinking.

Consultants don’t win projects because they can format charts faster — they win because they understand markets better and move ideas forward sooner.

By cutting hours of manual setup, Lio helps consultants:

• Reduce delivery time by up to 80%

• Standardize outputs across teams

• Spend more time testing scenarios and hypotheses

That’s how you turn analysis into strategy.

A Model You Can Trust

Lio doesn’t just generate numbers — it builds transparent models you can audit and defend.

Every assumption is visible, every data source traceable.

That’s what makes it consultant-grade. You’re not just getting an answer — you’re getting a framework you can explain to your client, challenge internally, and reuse later.

Example:

“Hey Lio, show me which inputs drive 80% of the market variance.”

“Run a sensitivity analysis on adoption rates.”

“Visualize revenue contribution by segment.”

Instant visibility. Zero manual recalculation.

From Model to Story

Once your structure is set, Lio helps you go the extra mile — turning data into narratives.

“Generate a 3-slide summary deck for my presentation.”

“Create visuals comparing base vs optimistic scenarios.”

In minutes, you move from raw analysis to a polished storyline.

It’s not just productivity — it’s clarity.

The Bottom Line

Building models used to be the slowest part of every consulting engagement.

Now it’s the fastest.

Lio doesn’t replace your thinking — it amplifies it.

It automates the build so you can focus on the meaning.

The best consultants don’t fear AI.

They use it to get ahead.

Key Takeaway:

Market modeling no longer needs to take days.

With Lio, it takes prompts — not spreadsheets.
