How it works

From your question to reviewed analysis.

    Frame the question

    Together, we agree the decision, research scope, inputs and what a useful answer looks like.

    Build the evidence

    Our platform structures company and industry research around your criteria, peer set and permitted sources.

    Sources used · Company A · illustrativeIllustrative
    • Annual report — Company A
    • Investor presentation — Company A
    • Trade press
    • Your criteria sheet
    • Management accounts — not provided

    Nothing is cited that is not on this list.

    Explain what matters

    Our analysts challenge the findings, check the peer set and calculations, and flag anything unverified before the brief reaches your review.

Working together

Start with a defined piece of work.

A first engagement

One business question or research workflow. We agree the scope, inputs, deliverables and review date, then assess the work together.

An ongoing program

A sequence of research assignments using your criteria, with priorities and delivery dates agreed around your team’s needs.

Inside your review process

Bring reviewed analysis into your existing meetings and approval process. We agree the research scope and delivery schedule with you; decisions and sign-off stay with your team.

Pricing, scope and delivery dates are agreed per engagement.

Your material and requirements

Agree the inputs before the research starts.

Start with your question, criteria and examples of the work your team uses. We can scope the engagement using public or redacted material.

Before sharing internal or licensed information, agree what may be used and the data-handling requirements for the assignment.

Bring your data and procurement questions.

Discuss hosting, access, retention, model providers and permitted reuse with our team as part of scoping.

Discuss your requirements

Before a first engagement

Before we start.

More than search, more than a chatbot: reviewed analysis on your criteria.

The people behind 15Rock

Why not an associate, a research subscription or a consultancy?

An associate starts from a blank spreadsheet; a subscription gives you documents to read; a consultancy brings a wider mandate. We add reviewed research capacity on your criteria without taking over your judgment or your client relationship, working directly with you or alongside your adviser.

What does a first engagement look like, and how fast?

Start with one business question. We agree scope, inputs, deliverables, pricing and a review date before work begins. Tell us your deadline so we can scope a useful first engagement.
