What You Get

A 3-day deep dive into the behavioral, social, and tech forces moving your market. You’ll leave with a focused roadmap that shows where momentum is building—and how to position ahead of it.

The Problem This Solves

You're facing one or more of these challenges:

  • Strategic blindness: making calls on last year’s data or gut feel

  • Competitive sameness: everyone is running the same playbook

  • Market timing: unsure whether to launch, pivot, or wait

  • Cultural misalignment: brand feels out of step with customers

  • Trend confusion: hard to separate signal from noise

  • Investor questions: need proof your thesis tracks with reality

Methodology

We combine behavioral pattern recognition with cultural analysis—the same approach used with teams at Amazon, Paramount, and Samsung—adapted for high-velocity teams.

    • Category Conventions (what everyone assumes is true)

    • Competitive Behavior (what brands are actually doing vs. saying)

    • Adjacent Patterns (where cross-category patterns emerge)

    • Tech Adoption (what's being adopted, what's being rejected)

    Deliverable: Market Landscape Brief

    • Behavioral Shifts (new habits forming in your audience)

    • Anxiety / tension Map (what keeps your customers up at night)

    • Permission Patterns (what cultural shifts create new category openings)

    • Segment splits (how different segments are diverging)

    • Language Shifts (how people talk about your category)

    Deliverable: Cultural Signal Report (5–7 actionable insights)

    • Opportunity Territories (where white space is emerging)

    • Risk Assessment (what could disrupt your current approach)

    • Timing Calls (should you move now or wait)

    • Positioning Guidance (how to align with cultural momentum)

    • 90-day roadmap (where to place your bets)
