Independent research · Wellington, New Zealand

Serious research, within reach of the people who actually need it.

In-depth industry research has been locked behind price tags only large corporates can pay. Smaller firms, new entrants and independent professionals make decisions half-blind – not because the knowledge does not exist, but because they cannot afford it.

AI will not fix a broken sales process it will accelerate it.

Every workflow in Volume 1 pairs automation with the process discipline that makes it pay.

How we handle evidence

Every figure carries its source, and a label saying how much weight it will bear.

Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than filling the gap with a confident guess. A figure that cannot be confirmed in its original source is removed, not softened.

Verified
Confirmed in the official or primary source.
Benchmark
A named third party's published figure. Marked (vendor) where the publisher sells what it measured, because a company measuring its own product is not independent evidence.
Derived
Calculated by us, with the method shown.
Estimated
Our judgement, where hard data does not exist.

Next volumes

Which one should come next?

Five volumes are in development: AI for key account management, strategy development, the delivery side – inspection, laboratory and reporting workflows – global market access, and marketing a trust business. The order they arrive in depends partly on what readers ask for.
