Why we are different:
Proprietary data is at the core of our product. But we have been at this long enough to know that technology driven data mining is not a silver bullet. So, to complement our data, we have spent years building up traditional networks of professionals in key subsectors. Regular interviews and surveys of these professionals forms the core of our fundamental research product, which helps crosscheck our data and stress test our assumptions.
