How We Do It Uniquely for You

Don’t leave money on the table, do the research based on the latest data before you decide.

To answer these questions for you quickly, we first consult the database of the Innovation Cities™ Index. That's the world’s largest and longest running city ranking of its kind (as seen in major media). Then we consider our related City Benchmarking Data set of all cities. Finally, we look at our private TrendFile database of trends and case studies globally. You won't find this data elsewhere.

Why hire a data scientist to reinvent the wheel? Especially at rates approaching USD $10K-18K per month?

Or why hire juniors at low rates who will never actually solve your problem.

Our expert data analysts use our databases, then consider and solve your problem for a fixed and fair low fee.
