Strategic Market Clarity, Delivered on Time and on Budget

You know you need deep market insights to outmanoeuvre rivals, but you do not have the internal bandwidth to conduct the research yourself. You also cannot afford open-ended consulting engagements with spiralling costs.

Our Fixed-Price Competitive Intelligence (CI Sprints) provide focused competitive intelligence services for founders and leaders who need immediate, executive-ready answers with absolute budget certainty. We combine 25 years of sector expertise with the accelerated processing power of advanced AI to deliver actionable B2B competitive intelligence and Go-To-Market intelligence.

The Dilemma:

Small and scaling companies face critical inflection points such as launching a new feature or service, defending against a rival’s price drop, or refining a sales pitch. You need intelligence that moves the needle right now, without the financial risk of a traditional, hourly-billed consulting project.

Choose Your Sprint Level

We offer two distinct fixed-price sprint options depending on the depth of intelligence you require and the speed at which you need it.

1. The Deep-Dive Primary Research Sprint

£5,000 Fixed Price

Timeline: Completed within 3-4 Calendar Weeks (2 competitors) £1000/day.

This is our most comprehensive sprint, designed to uncover the “hidden” reality of your competitors’ tactics: how they price, pitch, and handle objections behind closed doors.

  • Discovery: Tightly focused scoping call to define your primary competitor and intelligence gaps.
  • Extraction: Rigorous primary research and B2B mystery shopping research by industry veterans.
  • Analysis: AI-assisted synthesis distils findings into a comprehensive report of the facts, which our industry experts analyse to identify comparative strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats through focused B2B competitor analysis.
  • Delivery: Executive readout featuring a comparative Competitor Analysis and actionable Sales Battlecards.

2. The Accelerated Desk-Based Sprint

£1,500 Fixed Price

Timeline: Completed in 5 Calendar Days (2-3 competitors).

Need answers immediately? This sprint leverages our proprietary CI Director frameworks and advanced Large Language Models to perform an exhaustive, deep-web analysis of publicly available competitor information.

  • Speed: Ideal for rapid competitive benchmarking services before a board meeting or immediate tactical pivots.
  • Efficiency: Bypasses the time required for primary source outreach, focusing purely on expert-guided data analysis.
  • Value: A highly cost-effective way to establish a baseline understanding of competitor messaging, SEO gaps, publicly stated positioning, and competitor pricing analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Competitive Intelligence (CI) Sprint is our name for a fixed-price, fixed-timeline research project that answers a specific competitive question and ends with an executive-ready readout. It is best suited to deliver actionable intelligence for a tightly defined requirement without the financial commitment required by larger consulting projects.

The Deep-Dive Primary Research Sprint is priced at £5,000 for researching up to 2 competitors over 5 dedicated resource days, completed within 2–3 calendar weeks.

The Accelerated Desk-Based Sprint has a budget of £1,500 for researching 2–3 competitors, 3 dedicated resource days, completed in 5 calendar days.

The difference is depth of source. The Deep-Dive includes primary research; the Accelerated Sprint is expert-guided analysis of publicly available information.

Choose the Deep-Dive when you need the hidden reality – how competitors actually price, pitch and handle objections behind closed doors – and the decision in front of you is big enough to warrant it.

Choose the Accelerated Sprint when you need a defensible baseline fast: benchmarking before a board meeting, an immediate tactical pivot, or a first read on competitor messaging and publicly stated positioning.

Four stages.

  • Discovery: A tightly focused scoping call to define your primary competitor and your intelligence gaps.
  • Research: Rigorous primary research or mystery shopping carried out by industry veterans.
  • Analysis: AI-assisted synthesis to distil the findings into a comprehensive report of the facts, which our industry experts then interpret.
  • Delivery: An executive readout featuring a comparative competitor analysis.

Business-to-business (B2B) mystery shopping means engaging with a competitor as a genuine prospective buyer would, to observe the pitch, the objection handling and the pricing that never appear on a website.

It is carried out by experienced sector practitioners, not junior researchers, and uses 100% legal and ethical methods. Your sponsorship of the research is never disclosed.

Yes. No scope creep and no unexpected overages. You know exactly what you are paying and exactly which deliverables you will receive before work starts.

Scope, competitor count, resource days and delivery date are all agreed at the outset. That is the point of the sprint model.

No. We use advanced AI, including large language models (LLMs), to accelerate synthesis and to run exhaustive deep-web analysis at a speed no human team can match.

The judgements remain human: our sector experts interpret the findings, identify comparative strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and work out recommendations for your business.
