PROFUSE CONSULTANTS / GLOBAL EXECUTIVE RESEARCH
Commercial opportunity research
Investigate a business opportunity, unsolicited proposal or new commercial relationship before management devotes significant time and resources.
THE QUESTION
Is this opportunity worth our attention?
Opportunities often arrive as incomplete stories: a promising buyer, a partnership offer, a licensing proposal or access to a new channel. We identify what makes the opportunity attractive and what must be true for it to be worth pursuing.
WHEN TO USE THIS
A useful starting point when…
- An inbound opportunity that needs initial screening
- A new distribution, licensing or channel proposal
- Several opportunities competing for management attention
WHAT WE INVESTIGATE
A focused scope. A usable answer.
Opportunity logic
Clarify who benefits, how value is created and what each party is expected to contribute.
Evidence
Examine the counterparty, market context, commercial assumptions and relevant supplied material.
Progression
Identify the next information requests, milestones and reasons to proceed, reshape or pause.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Work that prepares the next move
- An opportunity brief and assumptions map
- A comparison of upside, constraints and dependencies
- A practical follow-up sequence
ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
How the question becomes a next step
An overseas distributor may promise rapid growth while leaving minimum orders, exclusivity and support responsibilities undefined. Early research can surface those open questions before exclusivity is discussed as a routine detail.
This is an illustration of the approach, not a claimed client engagement or result.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Before you begin
Can you assess an unsolicited business proposal?
Yes. Share a non-sensitive overview first. We can scope research into the company, opportunity logic and missing evidence, then identify what should be clarified before further engagement.
What will you need from us?
The objective, relevant countries or companies, timing, constraints and any available non-sensitive documents. We agree sensitive-document handling and any paid-source requirements before starting.
How are fees and timing agreed?
We define the question, research depth, deliverables, exclusions and schedule in a written scope. The fee is quoted for that scope before work begins.
