Market Intelligence Relay

A standing weekly brief on your market landscape, designed and edited by me. I curate every bit of it and say why it matters to you.

start your relay

what you get

your weekly brief

category & customer updates, a couple ideas worth stealing, and what I think it all means for you.

a compounding archive

every brief filed and searchable by you, and indexed
for a relay that gets smarter over time.

monthly recalibration

a standing half hour to retune what the relay watches, plus my look-back across recent briefs.

$3,750/mo

plus $5,000
once to set it up.

One flat price, whatever the size of your team.

Your market throws off more in a week than anyone on your team has time to make sense of.

the news piled up and nobody turned it into a decision.

A Slack channel of forwarded links isn’t intelligence. Somebody has to read all of it and decide what’s worth your attention. Don’t worry, I gotchu.

our solution

spin up an intelligence relay to point at your market.

deliverable 02

a compounding
archive

Every brief tidily filed away and searchable in your own private library. AND the relay remembers, so a competitor’s various moves add up to a strategy rather than a slew of unconnected headlines.

deliverable 03

monthly
recalibration

Half an hour on the calendar every month, so the brief keeps pointing at what really matters to you. Standing intelligence goes stale when nobody adjusts it, typically because no one bothered to book the convo. Voila, this is that conversation.

me, specing it out just for you

I build your custom relay

It’s your unique cartridge, built to plug into my tested agentic system. That’s what makes the brief yours: your brand, your audience, your goals, your market. Miles beyond a quick pre-board meeting GPT prompt.

the machine, running all week, commissioned by me

it reads more in an hour than I could all week

It reads at a volume I could never match and checks itself harder than I’d have time to at this price point. But it still leaves the decisions about what’s interesting to me (because I won’t let the machines do ALL the cool stuff).

your competitors what they shipped, promoted, signaled, and what it’s seeming to move towards.
your category trade press, regulation, the retail shelf, and adjacent lanes where good ideas often come from.
your customers what’s going on in their lives beyond your brand, and honestly even beyond your industry.
macro forces prices, substitution, motivations, and how the currents underneath might move it all.
the fact check every claim traced to its source and argued against. Ruthless and meticulous (but still curious).

me, distilling what came through the firehose

I analyze, curate, and contextualize

It all comes to me unranked. No top stories, no relevance score, no machine’s opinion about what’s worth your time. I read the whole pile myself, then tell you which handful of the week’s gazillion things matter and why.

what I’m asking of every single item

  • Is this actually new, or does it just look new?
  • Does it matter to you, or only to the category?
  • What does the evidence here honestly support?
  • And so what? What would I do about it tomorrow?

FAQs

what do I actually get?

One read a week, five sections. What your competitors and your category did. What's going on in your customers' lives beyond your brand. Two ideas worth stealing from outside your category, one product and one marketing. A few thought starters built from your week. And one idea from the science of people, with a line connecting it to your business. Every item carries my reason for it, and every source is linked.

how long is it?

About 8 minutes. A quiet week runs shorter, honestly, and I don't pad it to fill the space.

how often, and what day?

Weekly. You pick the day at kickoff and it holds. Setup is a kickoff call plus a first calibration week, then it just lands.

how does it reach us, and who gets to see it?

Email, on your day, to whatever distribution list you want. You control that list, there's no seat limit, and there's no per-reader pricing. The archive lives in a folder I host and share with you, or inside your own system if you'd rather keep it behind your walls. If your team would rather receive it some other way, ask me and we'll scope it.

how much does it cost?

$3,750 a month, plus $5,000 once to stand it up. Billed monthly in advance, no annual contract, and fees are exclusive of any applicable sales tax. It should earn its place every month.

who actually decides what's in it?

I do, every week. An agentic system does the reading and the fact-checking, and I'll say that plainly, because it's the reason a standing read on your whole market costs one invoice instead of what a research agency charges. What it never does is decide. Everything that survives the checks comes to me unranked, I keep what matters to your business, and I write the reason each item made it in.

do you work with our competitors?

Not at the same time. I won't run this for two direct competitors concurrently. Adjacent brands in a broad category are fair game, and I'll tell you if that's the situation.

how is this different from a monitoring tool we could buy?

A tool gives you a feed and some alerts. It can't tell you which thing in the pile is the one that matters, or what it means for the decision you're actually making. It's also not real time by design. A live feed you never open loses to one short read you finish.

how is it different from an AI that summarizes the news?

Those are cheap and getting cheaper, and they're fine at telling you what happened. The gap is that they'll hand you everything flattened to the same weight, written with the same confidence whether the source is a trade journal or one forum post. Every item here got read by somebody who knows your business and decided it earned your time, and where the evidence is thin the brief says so.

can it use our own documents and data?

Yes, and it's sharper when it does. At kickoff you hand over whatever helps: your positioning, your competitor list, past research, internal docs, the data you already track. It works from that plus the open market, so the read is grounded in how your business actually sees itself, not just what's public.

is there really enough to say every week?

Some weeks your market is quiet, and knowing that clearly is worth having. Those briefs ship short and say so. The ideas worth stealing and the closing concept come from the whole world rather than your category, so they land every week regardless. No brief is ever empty, and no brief is ever padded.

does it remember, or is every week a blank slate?

It remembers, permanently. Every brief that ships and every candidate that didn't stays in the relay's memory, so when this week's news rhymes with something from a year ago, the earlier instances arrive attached with dates. Separately, once a month I step back across the last month of briefs to see what recurred, what moved and what stopped, and I'll reach further back when something interesting is there. Naming the shift is my job, not the machine's.

do we have to staff it or babysit it?

No. The pipeline is mine to run. Your side is 45 minutes at kickoff, about 8 minutes a week to read the brief, and 30 minutes a month on the check-in call. That is the whole ask.

what happens to the archive if we stop?

It's yours to keep. Every brief I've sent you stays in your folder, and if it's hosted on my side I hand it over. You paid for it.
