Suits nested sizes of one quantity where each level is a subset of the one below it, when a solid presentation look suits the slide: total, serviceable and obtainable market (TAM, SAM, SOM), addressable users narrowing to reachable and converted users, a sales universe narrowing to qualified pipeline, or a total budget narrowing to allocated and spent.
Suits nested sizes of one quantity where each level is a subset of the one before: total, serviceable and obtainable market (TAM, SAM, SOM), addressable users narrowing to a target segment, a sales universe narrowing to qualified pipeline, or a budget envelope narrowing to committed spend.
Named enclosing levels ordered from the core outward, with a description for each level.
Pro
Show 3–6 ordered layers of an iceberg: the first visible layer above a waterline and the remaining hidden layers below it.
Protection layers, a product core with its surrounding platform, or organizational spheres of involvement.
Cumulative support packages, learning stages or service coverage.
For a technology stack, an operating model from foundations to outcomes, or a layered security or service model, where each level supports the one above and owns a few named parts.
Entries are sorted by two categories, one of them a ring order from closest or core outward: an innovation ambition matrix (core, adjacent, transformational by business line), a technology radar by adoption ring and quadrant, stakeholders by proximity and group, partner ecosystem tiers by category, now, next and later by team.
Strategy from purpose to daily action, learning from mastery to foundations, or ordered service tiers.
Covered people split into staff and learner subgroups, a course audience with two distinct tracks, or eligibility classes within one service.
