Executive Summary

Three significant competitive developments emerged this quarter. CloudScale's 10-Q reveals , outpacing the sector average of 15%. Their recent hiring surge () signals an AI-native product pivot expected in Q3.

Meanwhile, DataForge's acquisition of SignalAPI () consolidates the data integration layer and directly threatens our middleware positioning. Analyst consensus has shifted: , up from 1 last quarter.

Net assessment: competitive intensity is increasing across all vectors. The window for differentiation through AI-native capabilities is narrowing. Board should expect a strategic recommendation at next quarter's meeting.

What is your current process missing?

Five questions. Honest answers. See the gaps — and what closing them looks like.

Frontier · Intelligence Readiness

How ready is your competitive intelligence?

Can you name your top 3 competitors' last quarterly revenue?
Do you know which competitors hired aggressively last quarter?
Could you brief your board on competitive threats in under 10 minutes?
Are your competitive claims sourced and verifiable — not opinions?
Would you know within 48 hours if a competitor made a major move?

Share your context. We deliver the package.

One engagement or ongoing quarterly coverage — your call. Either way, pay for a finished deliverable, not a platform.

01

Share your context

Send us your prior board decks, strategy docs, financials, and competitor list. Whatever format — we handle it. Your documents become the baseline for every future package.

02

We gather intelligence

Our agents pull filings, web changes, hiring patterns, analyst coverage, and executive moves — then cross-reference everything with your internal context. You don't lift a finger.

03

You get the package

A finished board package arrives in under two weeks — formatted, verified, and scored. One voice, zero gaps, ready for your board. Each quarter builds on the last.

Built for teams who can't afford blind spots.

We built this because strategy teams shouldn't spend 40 hours on what our agents produce in 4.

< 48 hours

Average signal-to-package freshness

From the moment a filing hits EDGAR or a hiring surge appears, it's in your next package.

100%

Source attribution rate

Every factual claim links to a verifiable source. No exceptions, no hedging, no hallucination.

5 streams

Simultaneous intelligence coverage

SEC filings, web monitoring, workforce data, analyst research, and your internal documents — synthesized into one voice.

Your first board package is good. Your fourth changes how you compete.

Each cycle, our agents learn what matters to your board. The signals sharpen. The analysis deepens. The recommendations get specific.

By quarter four, your package doesn't just describe the landscape — it tracks trajectories, flags inflection points your competitors haven't noticed, and connects patterns that only emerge over time.

Q1

Baseline

Competitive landscape mapped. Signals calibrated to your board's priorities.

Q2

Pattern recognition

Hiring surges, pricing shifts, and filing anomalies tracked against your Q1 baseline.

Q3

Trajectory analysis

Competitor moves predicted from 6 months of signal history. False positives eliminated.

Q4

Strategic foresight

Your board sees what's coming — not just what happened. The package writes the narrative your competitors can't.

Try explaining the last 18 months of competitive dynamics to a new analyst. That's what you'd lose.

Pay for the package. Not the platform.

No subscriptions. No seat licenses. You pay for a finished board package — sourced, scored, and delivered on your timeline. Each quarter builds on the last.

Common questions

How do you prevent AI hallucination?

Every factual claim in a Frontier board package traces to a specific, verifiable source — a filed 10-Q, a published analyst report, a hiring record, or your own uploaded documents. Claims without sources are not included. Quality scoring measures source coverage, freshness, and verification rate on every package. Our pipeline is designed for General Counsel review.

Where do my internal documents go?

Your documents are processed during the engagement and deleted when the brief is delivered. We don’t store them, share them with other clients, or use them to train models. We sign an NDA before every engagement. SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress.

What do I actually receive?

A finished board package ready for presentation. The Essentials tier includes a sourced package with 2 revision rounds. The Comprehensive tier adds an executive summary, full source compendium, and revisions until board-ready. Both arrive as PDF and DOCX.

How is the intelligence generated?

We pull from five intelligence streams: SEC filings (EDGAR), web monitoring (news, product changes, pricing), workforce data (hiring patterns, headcount), analyst research (equity research, ratings), and your internal documents. All streams flow through our classification pipeline and emerge as one coherent board package with every claim attributed to its source.

Can I send you internal documents?

Yes. We parse PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, and 10+ other formats. Your internal documents are processed through the same intelligence pipeline as external signals — parsed, classified, and woven into your board package. Your prior board decks become the baseline that future packages build on.

Why $5K–$12K when I could hire someone cheaper?

A full-time CI analyst costs $120K–$180K/year (burdened), covers one perspective, takes 2–4 weeks per package, and goes on vacation. Frontier pulls from five intelligence streams simultaneously, delivers in under two weeks, and costs a fraction of the annual salary. You’re paying for the outcome, not the headcount.

What industries do you cover?

Frontier works best in industries with digitally-visible competitive dynamics — technology, financial services, healthcare, industrial, consumer. If your competitors file with the SEC, publish online, and hire through standard channels, we can track them.

Can you cover non-public competitors?

Yes. For non-public companies, we rely on web intelligence (press releases, product changes, pricing pages), workforce data (hiring patterns, headcount shifts), and news coverage. The signal depth varies, but we surface what’s publicly available and flag gaps transparently.

How quickly do I get my package?

Essentials board packages are delivered in 5–7 business days. Comprehensive packages take 10–14 business days. Share your context, and we start immediately.

Do I need a subscription?

No. You can engage per-package with no ongoing commitment. If you want a standing relationship, our Quarterly Retainer delivers an Essentials-tier package every quarter with priority scheduling and signal alerts between meetings — consistent voice, compounding intelligence.

Your next board meeting shouldn't start from scratch.

Send us your context. We deliver a finished board package — verified, complete, and ready to present. No assembly required. Each quarter builds on the last.
