All value generation starts with a need.

Profile

Researcher and Pragmatic.

Two rare capabilities, combined: seeing what the data shows, and quickly structuring what to do about it.

Researcher

Measure before opining.

  • Real needs before internal hypotheses
  • Market evidence before intuition
  • Patterns that repeat before isolated exceptions
  • Data that contradicts common sense
  • Findings that are published, not just kept private

"What is the data actually showing?"

Pragmatic

Turn evidence into an applicable structure.

  • Clear diagnosis and criteria
  • Priorities based on evidence
  • Proprietary frameworks and metrics
  • Tools that put the method into practice
  • Decisions with direction and measurable impact

"What do we do with it?"

The Institute

We see where value exists. We structure how to generate it.

"To help organizations identify where the greatest potential for value generation exists, and to direct strategy, resources and innovation toward the needs that truly matter."

Structure
Based in Florida, home to the ICAN / Need-Based Decision Science methodology.
Reach
Brazil and the United States, with a focus on mid-size and large companies.
Model
Public research combined with proprietary studies and in-house tools.
Absolute Ethics

We never manipulate data. We never publish studies for political interest. The truth of the market always comes first.

The Customer's Own Focus

The customer's direct voice, with no internal filter, inside the decision process. It isn't focus ON the customer, it's focus FROM the customer.

Generate Real Results

Every decision should increase enterprise value. Concrete, measurable results, derived from real, relevant needs.
