Clarity for Your Biggest Technology Decisions

We help CIOs and technology leaders make confident decisions through research that cuts through the noise and delivers actionable guidance.

The Problem We Solve

Technology leaders face an overwhelming amount of information. Vendor whitepapers are biased. Analyst reports are expensive and generic. Blog posts are superficial. Conference talks are sales pitches in disguise.

Meanwhile, the stakes are higher than ever. Cloud migrations can cost millions. AI initiatives can transform businesses or waste years of effort. Security breaches can destroy reputations overnight. Legacy modernization can unlock agility or create technical debt disasters.

You need research you can trust. Research that tells you what actually works, not what vendors want to sell you. Research that's specific to your industry and role, not generic advice that applies to everyone and no one.

What We Stand For

Independence

We are not owned by vendors or consultancies. We don't accept payment for coverage. Our only loyalty is to technology leaders who need honest guidance.

Depth Over Breadth

We don't cover everything. We focus on the decisions that matter most—the ones that cost millions, take years, and define your technology strategy. When we research a topic, we go deep.

Practical, Not Theoretical

Our research is based on what actually works in production environments, not what looks good in PowerPoint. We talk to practitioners, analyze real implementations, and focus on lessons learned.

Context Matters

What works for a healthcare organization doesn't work for a retailer. What a CIO needs is different from what a CISO needs. We provide research tailored to your industry and role.

Honest About Trade-offs

Every technology decision involves trade-offs. We don't pretend there are silver bullets. We help you understand the costs, risks, and benefits so you can make informed choices.

How It Works

1. We Identify Critical Decisions

We focus on the technology decisions that have the biggest impact on your organization. These are the decisions that:

  • Cost millions of dollars
  • Take months or years to implement
  • Are difficult to reverse
  • Define your technology strategy for years to come

Examples: AI implementation strategy, cloud migration approach, legacy system modernization, zero trust security architecture, data governance frameworks.

2. We Conduct Deep Research

For each topic, we:

  • Interview technology leaders who have made these decisions
  • Analyze case studies from multiple industries
  • Review academic research and industry data
  • Test approaches in real environments when possible
  • Identify patterns in what works and what doesn\'t

Our research takes weeks or months, not days. We don\'t publish until we have something genuinely useful to say.

3. We Deliver Actionable Frameworks

Our research isn\'t just analysis—it\'s guidance you can use immediately. Each piece includes:

  • Decision frameworks to evaluate your options
  • Implementation roadmaps with specific steps
  • Risk assessments highlighting what can go wrong
  • Success metrics to track progress
  • Templates and tools you can adapt

You should be able to take our research into a meeting and use it to drive decisions.

4. We Tailor to Your Context

We organize our research by:

  • Industry – Financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, etc.
  • Role – CIO, CTO, CISO, VP Engineering, Head of Data, IT Director
  • Topic – AI, cloud, security, modernization, data, etc.

This way, you get research that\'s relevant to your specific challenges, not generic advice that might not apply.
