Competitive Intelligence
Through Consulting

We offer a variety of solutions from individual competitive intelligence products to full-scale, real-time support. Our approach consists of a structured and phased process to provide predictive analysis. Generally speaking, we craft a multilayered model of the targeted landscape by drawing on a wide range of data sources, identify the major factors which influences that environment, and then determine a path or paths to effectively navigate toward our client’s goals.

The world is a dynamic, living and breathing environment which conventional quantitative models can’t always adequately capture. To that end, we employ a variety of experts with extensive experience who are able to approach the problem from many different angles. We are also able to pull information from a variety of sources, including on the ground assets, and vet this data extensively through a core team of specialists. Through this process, we seek to transform raw information into usable intelligence which directly impacts our client’s ability to make decisions.
