Services

Bounded commercial intelligence work: wedge diagnostics, thesis confidence reviews, and custom market maps for specialist B2B decisions.

Email a sanitized outline first. If there is a fit, we confirm scope, price, payment handling, and whether confidential handling or an NDA path is needed before work starts.

What you can commission

Three practical entry points

Market entry / GTM

Wedge Fit Check

1500 EUR

A fixed-scope diagnostic for a market-entry or GTM hypothesis before a larger validation sprint.

Use when
Use this when the market looks attractive, but the first credible buyer, trigger, proof point, and route into the market are still unclear.
Typical output
Buyer and trigger logic, proof gaps, route risk, narrative boundaries, and a GO / REFINE / KILL / NEEDS PRIMARY INTEL recommendation.

Existing thesis / claim set

Thesis Confidence Review

1500-2900 EUR

A bounded review of an existing market, investment, GTM, board, or AI-assisted research thesis.

Use when
Use this when a memo, market map, claim set, or AI-generated analysis already exists and needs evidence control before commitment.
Typical output
Supported claims, weak evidence, premature conclusions, timing signals, proof gaps, and recommended next action.

Custom intelligence work

Custom Sprint / Market Map

Scoped after fit

A custom research sprint or market map for a sector, segment, acquisition theme, portfolio exposure, or strategic question.

Use when
Use this when the question does not fit a Wedge Fit Check or thesis review, but you need a decision-grade report similar in depth to Ascendo's proof assets.
Typical output
Market structure, timing signals, buyer logic, proof gaps, routes to avoid, and a scoped recommendation for what to do next.

Other scoped work

Smaller or follow-on formats

Target Triage Brief

500-900 EUR

A short review of one target, exposure, or acquisition theme when the useful next step is a compact timing-signal and proof-gap note.

Wedge Validation Sprint

Scoped after fit

A deeper sprint after fit is confirmed, used when the wedge needs account-entry logic, proof requirements, and safe claims before action.

Framework or dossier licensing

By asset

For questions already covered by an Intelligence Library asset, or when a public proof asset should become the starting point for a scoped engagement.

What to include in the first email

  • The decision this work should inform.
  • The market, segment, target, or thesis being considered.
  • What would be wasted if the conclusion is wrong.
  • Any deadline, board, IC, outbound, or product milestone.
  • Whether the case needs confidential or NDA handling.
Open email appcontact@ascendoanalytics.com

Good fit

  • Market-entry or account-entry questions with real stakes.
  • Investment, portfolio, or acquisition themes with timing risk.
  • Claim sets, memos, and AI-generated maps before commitment.
  • Custom intelligence questions where evidence discipline matters.

Not the right fit

  • Generic trend summaries with no decision context.
  • Lead lists without thesis or route validation.
  • Hourly consulting or validation-for-hire.
  • Rubber-stamping a narrative the team has already chosen.
