Retroactive 409A dispute resolution & tax impact analyzer targets a $3.6B = 1.2M option-holding employees × $3,000 ACV (annual average legal/tax/saas spend per exercised employee) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY — based on growth in equity compensation, cap table tooling adoption, and legaltech services (industry reports on equity management and legal marketplaces)..
