What You Get

Insight only matters if it leads to action. Our numbers hold up under CFO and procurement scrutiny, our scenarios stay relevant when markets change, and our dashboards are designed for teams that act, not just analyze.

Decision Clarity

Decision Clarity

Every decision is linked to an owner, a date, and defined parameters such as entry sequence or price band. Partner and channel frameworks include guardrails for risk and compliance. Each scenario outlines what to do when conditions shift so responses are immediate and disciplined.

What You Get

Scenarios That Guide Action

Scenarios That Guide Action

Each scenario defines how decisions evolve under changing conditions. Triggers and mitigations are pre-set: if a price index rises by a certain percentage, or if demand falls beyond a threshold, the next step is already clear. Every plan is tested against tariff, currency, and regulatory shocks, as well as supply and demand disruptions.

Numbers That Stand Scrutiny

Numbers That Stand Scrutiny

Every figure is backed by an evidence ledger, explicit assumptions, and a clear audit trail. Each model includes unit economics, sensitivity ranges, and scenario cards that show how results hold under different conditions.

FAQ

Do you provide market sizes and forecasts?

Yes, but only as inputs. Size, growth, share, price, and channel splits are used to inform portfolio, capacity, pricing, and rollout decisions.

How do you measure impact?

Every program includes an Outcome Tracker with baseline KPIs, targets, and quarterly actuals reviewed in QBRs. Success is defined by actions taken and value created.

How are FMI deliverables different from standard syndicated reports?

You receive decision briefs, option models, dashboards, and execution playbooks, each tied to owners, timelines, and trigger-based scenarios.

Which industries do you cover?

We cover Food & Beverage, Packaging, Chemicals & Materials, Healthcare & MedTech, Technology & Industrial, Consumer Goods, and Mobility & Equipment, along with adjacent categories on request.

How quickly can we reach a decision?

Projects typically run four weeks: frame the problem, model the evidence, decide, and move straight into a 90-day execution cycle.

What data sources do you use?

We combine primary interviews with data from industry associations, company filings, trade flows, and price or commodity indices. Where clients allow, we also connect to internal systems such as CRM, ERP, or PLM to ground our analysis in real operating data.

How do you handle assumptions and uncertainty?

Each assumption is logged in the Assumption Register and tested through the Scenario Lab (e.g., “if X ± Y %, then do Z”). Every assumption has an owner and a validation method.

Can you integrate with our internal systems?

Yes. We connect with your BI stack and secure data rooms. Dashboards are delivered as single-page 16:9 views with PNG, CSV, and PPT exports plus role-based filters.

How are KPIs chosen?

KPIs are set collaboratively during project framing. The goal is to track only what moves the business cost and delivery in sourcing, efficiency in manufacturing, or pricing and margin in commercial functions.

How is pricing structured?

Our pricing is program-based. Most clients choose an annual plan that covers delivery, quarterly reviews, and scenario updates as markets shift. We also run shorter pilot engagements for specific challenges or proof of concept.

How do you manage confidentiality and compliance?

We operate under strict NDAs, follow regional data-privacy regimes, and apply full citation and source-rating within the Evidence Ledger for auditability.

What happens after delivery?

After delivery, we continue tracking signals and adjusting models each quarter to keep your strategy live.
