The cost of being wrong compounds quietly.

Early assumptions harden into roadmaps, budgets, and narratives. Without independent buyer truth, teams commit long before reality intervenes.

Our work exists to reduce that risk before it becomes expensive.

PROCESS

Phase 1Week 1

Diagnostic & Discovery

We begin by isolating the exact decision that needs to be made and removing untested assumptions shaping it. Leadership beliefs are surfaced, scope is locked, and non-negotiable market truths are defined before any validation begins. This phase ensures the work answers the real decision, not internal narratives or politics.

Clear starting boundaries

Focus is set before any market work begins.

Bias acknowledged early

Assumptions are surfaced, not embedded.

Phase 2Week 1-2

Buyer Identification & Sourcing

We identify and recruit the exact buyers who materially influence the decision being tested. This phase is not about reach or volume. It is about precision. Participants are selected based on role relevance, budget authority, and proximity to the decision. Every profile is verified before inclusion to ensure the evidence reflects real buying power, not theoretical interest.

100% Manually Verified

Every participant is individually reviewed, cross-referenced, and validated for role accuracy and decision authority.

Independently Recruited

Participation is not mediated by panels, vendors, or platforms.

Phase 3Week 2-3

Market Validation

We engage verified senior buyers in structured 1:1 conversations to understand how buying actually happens in practice. This phase is not about opinions or consensus. It is about revealing real market behaviour. Buyers are explored across alignment and divergence to surface what holds consistently under real constraints. Inconsistency is treated as signal, not error, so the market is reflected accurately rather than simplified for convenience.

Phase 4Week 3-4

Synthesis & Direction

We synthesise findings across buyers and segments to translate market truth into clear direction. This phase is not about generating options or presenting possibilities. It is about resolving tension and narrowing focus. Signals are weighed for relevance, risk, and confidence. Where trade-offs exist, they are made explicit. The outcome is not a collection of insights, but a clear view of what to pursue, what to deprioritise, and what to ignore.

Trade-offs made explicit

Competing paths are evaluated, not blended.

Strategic Action

Clarity before commitment.

When budgets, roadmaps, or narratives are about to be locked in, uncertainty becomes expensive.

This work exists to replace assumption with independent buyer truth before those commitments are made.

If that is the position you’re in, this is the appropriate starting point.
