Strategic Intelligence

Drawing on our intelligence gathering expertise, we undertake market entry analysis by profiling competitors and interviewing sources to develop competitor intelligence which can inform qualitative growth strategies.

We provide political risk analysis, often within the context of an enhanced due diligence process, which considers the macro environment of investments and business partnerships and marries our intelligence gathering with a forward looking approach that can identify issues and the key individuals likely to influence the success of operating in new or turbulent markets.

Market and Sector Analysis

Drawing on our intelligence gathering expertise, we undertake market entry analysis by profiling competitors, examining internal and external market factors, and interviewing sources to develop intelligence which can inform qualitative growth strategies.

\We marry our source network with political analysis to identify and map key stakeholders to assess their influence which helps our clients develop a strategy for stakeholder management.

Reputation Management

We work with an array of non-profit, educational and cultural organisations and institutions to assess reputational risk associated with donors, partners and senior hires.

We not only provide context-driven intelligence assessments but can advise around crisis public relations management with longstanding partners and will ensure you have the information required to plan, prepare and mitigate risks in advance.

Geopolitical Advisory

We undertake issue-driven, context specific political risk assessments, often as part of pre-transaction due diligence or market entry assessments.

We have helped clients navigate evolving political and religious environments and can identify relevant actors that may impede or facilitate their growth.

We also monitor and analyse online trends, evaluate risk by associations and undertake crisis planning in advance of political unrest.

Case Study

A strategic intelligence consultancy asked us to provide a comprehensive review of Trump’s healthcare nominees with a view to determining their likely policy positions which may affect the food, drug and healthcare markets.

We analysed television and podcast appearances, opinion pieces and news media comment, books, and social media and provided a comparative analysis of their opinions drawing out potential patterns and indicators of likely policy positions on issues ranging from Medicare to drug pricing and antitrust.
A hedge fund with a large stake in a Kazakh bank tasked us to monitor regulatory developments and specifically those relating to the tax code in Kazakhstan. Drawing on sources from within government, lobbying groups, local experts, journalists and former employees, we provided weekly memos summarising pertinent information that also includes any relevant political developments and notable activities by competitors.
A corporate subject of a class action lawsuit requested a broad-ranging overview of the industry focusing on the US, UK and Australia, and an analysis of the strategies and tactics of several prominent litigation funders and class-action focused law firms. We provided a breakdown of notable entities in the space, assessed trends and upcoming enabling legislation, and produced an overview of several high-profile recent cases, focusing on the tactics adopted by several key players both legal and in the media.
