Data Analysis

Ask the question. Get the answer, with the numbers behind it.

The platform shows you what moved. Our analysts tell you why, and what it means for you. Bring one question. We put our models and our industry data to work on it, and hand back a written answer in one to two weeks.

Questions our clients bring

Specific questions, specific answers.

Competitors

Why is my competitor growing?

Where the extra volume comes from: a new supplier, a new origin, a lower price, or a new customer.

Prices

Am I paying too much?

Your price per tonne against the market's, by origin and supplier, month by month.

New entrants

Who just walked into my market?

New importers in your category, what they bring in, and whose share they are taking.

Risk

How exposed is my supply?

How much rests on one supplier, one origin or one port, and what the alternatives cost.

What you get

An answer you can take to your board.

Each engagement ends with a written answer: what we found, the numbers behind it, and what we would do. Then the view stays on the platform, so you keep watching.

  • The answer comes first. Findings on page one. The tables and charts follow.
  • Numbers you can use. Tonnes and US$ per tonne, never percentages alone.
  • The limits, stated. Which data we used, for which period, and what it cannot tell you.

How an engagement runs

One question, one to two weeks.

  1. Day 1

    Frame

    One conversation turns your concern into a question the data can answer.

  2. Days 2–3

    Scope

    We agree which products, companies and periods are in, and what the data allows.

  3. Week 1–2

    Work

    Our analysts put the models to work. Anything estimated is labelled as estimated.

  4. Delivery

    Answer

    The written answer, a walkthrough with your team, and the view on the platform.
