Broad capabilities, one market. Every service is delivered with the same discipline: primary research with the people who buy, use and sell in industrial technology, cross-checked against desk and market data.

Market

Where to play

Niche market sizing

Bottom-up size, share and three-year outlook for applications that syndicated reports do not break out.

Customers

What buyers think

Buyer and customer research

How engineers and managers choose, use and budget for tools, from in-depth interviews and surveys.

Perception studies

How users and non-users see you against competitors, and which assumptions stand in the way of a trial.

Competition and sales

How to win

Competitor analysis

Positioning, pricing signals and product direction of the vendors you meet most often.

Win-loss analysis

Independent interviews with recent buyers on why deals were won or lost.

Account maturity analysis

Which accounts are ready to expand, which are at risk, and where sales effort will pay back.

Custom studies

Have a question that does not fit a box? Most of our work starts that way. We design each study around the decision you need to make.
