Overview

Intelligence built on fieldwork

What distinguishes SIS consulting from traditional advisory firms is the foundation of primary research beneath every engagement. When SIS advises on a competitive landscape, that advice is informed by research SIS actually conducted in those markets. When SIS recommends a pricing strategy, that recommendation is backed by data SIS collected directly from consumers and buyers.

This is not analysis built on analyst reports. It is intelligence built on fieldwork.

Practice Areas

Nine ways SIS advises

Competitive Intelligence

Competitor profiles, positioning analyses, and strategic recommendations from original fieldwork and proprietary data, going beyond what public filings and news articles can assemble.

Market Expansion

Market entry assessments, opportunity sizing, regulatory reviews, and local intelligence across 135 countries, combining primary research with on-the-ground regional expertise.

Price Elasticity Studies

Conjoint analysis, Van Westendorp, and Gabor-Granger assessments across consumer and B2B markets, directly measuring what customers value and what they will pay.

Market Forecasting

Forecasts of market size, growth rates, segment evolution, and regional dynamics, built on primary research that captures what is actually happening, not historical extrapolation.

Go-to-Market Strategy

Target-audience profiling, channel strategy, messaging frameworks, and competitive positioning, every recommendation grounded in actual market research rather than theoretical models.

M&A Due Diligence

Market validation, competitive assessment, customer sentiment, and growth-potential evaluation, adding independent primary research that validates or challenges a transaction’s assumptions.

A/B Testing & Optimization

Testing programs for product concepts, messaging, packaging, pricing, and campaigns, delivering statistically significant results from decades of survey-design expertise.

AI Transformation Analysis

Readiness assessments, implementation roadmaps, and competitive AI benchmarking, identifying where AI creates genuine advantage versus where it adds complexity without returns.

Models built on one of the largest proprietary research databases in the industry and 42 years of longitudinal data, anticipating market shifts before they happen.
