How we work
The firm engages in four formats, and every format runs in every practice: a briefing in Biotechnology, a retainer in Energy, commissioned research in Supply Chains, the Desk across all four. You choose the question, we bring the same standard to it.
Executive Briefing · $7,500 fixed
Your China exposure in one practice, mapped and prioritized, with options your board can act on. You receive a written brief and a working session with your leadership team, delivered within two weeks of scoping. Most client relationships begin here.
Retained Advisory · from $7,500 per month
A standing early-warning channel on the decisions that will reach your business, before they do. You receive a monthly written note on your specific exposure, direct access to the principal between notes, and same-week reads when events demand them. Single-practice depth retainers are quoted in scoping.
Commissioned Research · from $25,000
The answer to the question your strategy depends on. Scoped to a decision, delivered as a document built to withstand board and regulator scrutiny, with every finding traceable to a source you can check.
The Desk
The intelligence subscription your team reads before the market does. Individual and institutional tiers, with the institutional tier including a quarterly call with the principal. Subscribe or view tiers.
How an engagement begins
Three steps, in order, before any work starts.
Write to the firm. Two sentences on the decision in front of you is enough.
A scoping call within two working days. We tell you plainly whether this is work we can add value to, and if it is not, we say so.
A written scope and a fixed fee. You know the deliverable, the date, and the number before anything begins.
