Market entry and expansion
Define the addressable market, buyers, routes to market, and the differences between target countries.
Custom research
Research shaped to your decision.
When a published report does not cover the question you need to answer, we can define a focused study around your market, evidence, and decision.

GICResearch brief
Start with the decision.
01
The question
What do you need to understand?
02
The boundary
Which market, customers, and period?
03
The use
What choice will the research support?
A useful answer begins with a useful scope.
Where it helps
Bring a question worth answering.
Custom work can focus on one decision or connect several questions within a defined scope. The starting point is what your team needs to compare, enter, build, or validate.
Competitive intelligence
Compare the competitors, business models, capabilities, and evidence of traction that matter to your choice.
Opportunity assessment
Test demand, adoption barriers, and value pools against a clear market boundary.
Commercial due diligence
Examine market assumptions, customer dynamics, risks, and the questions that need primary validation.
Product and portfolio strategy
Clarify buyer needs, adjacent markets, portfolio gaps, and where further investment may be justified.
Partner and target screening
Set comparison criteria, map the relevant field, and identify candidates for deeper investigation.
The working sequence
From question to usable answer.
Method and output follow the brief. These four stages keep the scope, evidence, and decision connected.
- 01
Define
Agree the decision, market boundary, geography, period, and useful output.
- 02
Design
Select sources, methods, comparisons, and checks that fit the question.
- 03
Examine
Reconcile evidence, test assumptions, and make material gaps visible.
- 04
Deliver
Present the reasoning and implications in the format agreed for your team.
Prepare the brief
Give the research a clear boundary.
A short brief is enough to start. Share what is known, identify what is uncertain, and tell us how the answer will be used.
- 01The decision your team needs to make
- 02Products, customers, and value chain position in scope
- 03Countries or regions and the relevant period
- 04Known assumptions and evidence already available
- 05Comparisons and outputs that would make the work useful
Your next step
Tell us what you need to decide.
We can discuss the relevant market, scope, and evidence before a study is defined.
