Intelligence desk

A market you cannot watch by hand — watched.

You name the market. We watch it continuously and hand you what moved, why it matters now, and who to talk to. It arrives written up, on a cadence, with the date we last looked on every line.

Used by capital advisory firms, holding companies, asset managers and executive search — in seven countries, and by the Dutch foreign ministry and a UK government investment agency.

This is the far end of one axis. The Platform, Signal Tracker and API read the same record. The difference is how much of the work you want to do yourself.

Who buys it

Teams whose next mandate
is hiding in a market they can't read.

Investment & advisory

PE, corporate development, venture debt, capital advisory

A defined universe — a sector, a country, a size band — watched between deals. Ownership changes, funding, leadership moves and distress, dated, so origination does not depend on who happened to read the news that week.

Executive search

Retained search and talent advisory

Leadership departures, funded scale-ups building out a team, new offices. The events that create a mandate, reaching you while the seat is still open rather than after the brief has gone to three other firms.

Holdings & corporates

Strategy, partnerships, M&A pipeline

Competitors, adjacencies and acquisition candidates in one watched set. What changed this month, in writing, in a form you can put in front of a board.

What arrives — a Radar

Not a dashboard login.
A document with a position in it.

We call the thing you receive a Radar. Every company that made the cut gets a card, and every card has been checked by a person before it reaches you, with the date of that check on it.

01

Mapped to what you actually sell

Cards are grouped by the service line or thesis the event triggers, not by signal type. A company that just incorporated is a different conversation from one that just closed a round, and they arrive under different headings.

02

The reason, with its date

What happened, when it happened, and why this month rather than last. Where the record holds an inference rather than an announcement, the card says so — we do not launder a rumour into a fact to make a page look fuller.

03

The person to reach

Each card carries the decision-maker for that event, verified at the time of writing, with the route to them. Not a job title pulled from a list two years old.

04

Checked, one card at a time

Before a Radar goes out, each card is individually fact-checked against public sources — entity status, the deal or approval, the person — and the sources are kept. If we could not confirm something, it does not ship as confirmed.

One card, as it ships

This is what a card
actually looks like.

A real company from our record, built from the same rows we publish on the evidence page. Three dated events, months apart, none of them dramatic on its own — a customer win, a certification, a senior hire. Read together they are a company preparing to sell into enterprises, and four months later it raised.

Reading that pattern across a market of thousands, every month, without missing it and without inventing it. That is the entire job.

What moved

27 Dec Won a named customer New customers in MedTech
20 Jan Achieved a certification ISO/IEC 27001
20 Jan Senior hire Business development

Why now

A security certification and a commercial hire inside the same week, on top of a named customer win, is a company building an enterprise motion — and buying for it.

withheld

The card a client receives names the decision-maker and the route to them, verified at the time of writing. We do not publish a person's details on a marketing page.

The same engine your systems can call.

A desk report is not a separate product built by hand in a spreadsheet. It is written on top of the same signal record our API and MCP servers answer from — which is why the evidence page can show you the rows underneath a claim.

Where this sits

We do the watching
and the writing. Not the calling.

Covering a market is two jobs. One is reading it: continuously, across more companies than a person can hold, deciding which twenty names this month are worth anybody's time. The other is working that list: the calls, the relationships, the process. We are very good at the first one and we do not do the second one at all.

Which is why we cost a fraction of the options below. We are the half that scales.

How coverage gets bought What you get Who does the reading Published cost
Retained origination firm A team doing market mapping, research and outreach Them $4,000–8,000 per month
Deal-sourcing software A searchable database and screening tools, seat-based You ~$155,000 per year, median contract
A reference database Company and funding data, annual, team minimum You ~€12,500 per year
Bounce Watch desk A named market watched continuously, written up on a cadence Us — you get the read Per market talk to us

What we don't do

We don't contact your targets

No outreach in your name, no calls, no introductions. The relationship is yours and you will handle it better than we would.

We don't run your process

No CRM to adopt, no workflow to migrate to. A radar lands, you work it the way you already work.

We don't replace an analyst

We replace the part of their month that is reading and re-reading a market to find the twenty names worth their judgement.

If you already retain a firm to originate, we make their list shorter and their month sharper. If you don't, you will still need someone to work what we hand you. We would rather say that now than after you have signed.

Start here

One Radar, once.

Pick a market. We build a Radar on it once, at a fixed price, and you find out whether our judgement is worth having before anything becomes a standing arrangement. Most desks begin this way — and the Radar is yours either way.

Then, if it earns it

A standing Radar.

That market stays watched, and the Radar arrives on a cadence you set. Priced per market rather than per seat. A market is not a seat, and what it costs depends on how wide the universe is and how much verification each card needs. We would rather quote yours than post a figure that is wrong for everyone.

The part that matters at 8am

A quiet month and a month we didn't look are different months.

Any provider can send you a thin report and let you assume the market was quiet. When our coverage of a company is not current, the line says so, because a partner acting on “nothing happened at that company” deserves to know whether anyone actually checked. It is an uncomfortable thing to print in a document a client pays for. It is also the only version of this product worth buying.

See how we show this

Tell us the market.
We'll tell you what's in it.

A sector, a country, a size band, a list of names — however you define the universe you have to cover. The first conversation is about whether it is watchable, and what a read on it would actually be worth.

No calendar link and no sequence. You get a written answer on whether that market is watchable and what a Radar on it would hold, or an honest no.
