ernex
You run the business. We build the other side.
An engagement is defined by one question and closed by one deliverable. A family business and a contractor bidding on a national tender both start the same way.
MARKET ENTRY
Enter a market knowing where demand is, who already wins, and what the numbers actually say. The same extraction and checking that produces an edition, pointed at your question.
PROCESS, SALES AND OPERATIONS
Build the process, hand it over, and leave you with the work in a form your own team can run without us.
CUSTOM RESEARCH
Your own market question, answered with the published method, a frozen extract and the same release gates.
What the first piece of work looks like
01 One question, written down. We agree in one sentence what the work has to answer, and that sentence does not move afterwards.
The scope, the deliverable and the date are agreed in writing before work begins.
03 The deliverable and delivery date are agreed in writing before work begins.
04 The work, not a document about the work. The file, the model, the process written down so your own team can run it, and every number with its source.
The kind of question we take
These are the shapes of question this method fits. They are examples, not client work.
We are thinking of bidding in Lithuania for the first time. Where is the demand, who already wins, and what does it take to be eligible?
Our win rate has fallen and we cannot tell whether the market changed or we did.
We sell well, but the process sits in one person’s head. Build it so the team can run it without them.
We are an agency or an adviser and we need a defensible view of a sector to put in front of an incoming investor.
We have a number from a public source and we need to know whether it is safe to put in front of a client.
We want the same treatment this method gives procurement, applied to our own market.
Where research ends and consulting begins
Ernex publishes research about markets and also does work for companies inside them. That only holds if the line is written down, so here it is. A consulting client has no influence over what an edition says, no sight of an edition before it is published, and no ability to have anything added to it or left out of it. Nobody is named, ranked or omitted in an edition for payment. If a piece of consulting work would compromise that, we do not take it.
What we do not do
Work that does not rest on our own method. We publish research, we build software, and the consulting we take on rests on both.
Retainers before there is anything to retain. The first piece of work stands on its own.
Anything that would put a number in front of your client that we could not trace back to its source.
Start with one question.
One message is enough to begin. We come back with a defined scope, a deliverable and a delivery date.
