Market research and advisory
services for the space industry
 

SERVICES

 
 
Rotoiti’s market research and advisory services critically assess business strategies and theses. It gathers insights via discreet inquiries in its proprietary source network, helping clients avoid a common mistake: not testing assumptions to avoid costly errors.

Rotoiti typically scopes services via these questions:

 

NETWORK

 
 
Rotoiti’s network covers many markets, segments, and industries. For responsiveness, Rotoiti crafts its network to be resilient and sustainable. Rotoiti often boosts the network by adding project-specific extensions.

INQUIRIES

 
 
Tailored semi-structured interviews maximize inquiries’ quality. Rotoiti’s neutrality corrects for clients’ biases, making results more analytically usefully. Rotoiti is also discreet and unaffiliated, which keeps clients’ agendas confidential.

CLIENTS

 
 
Rotoiti helps clients who seek to validate their own business strategies (e.g. firms). Rotoiti also helps clients who seek to validate others’ business strategies (e.g. financiers). Rotoiti furthermore helps clients who are assessing ecosystems (e.g. public agencies).

OUTPUTS

 
 
Verbal briefs – usually fortnightly – update clients on findings from latest inquiries. Interim and final written reports summarize all findings. Rotoiti also provides an inquiries dashboard that allows clients to track inquiries’ status.
