Three engagement models, each shaped to a different kind of need.
If you are not sure which one fits, send us a short note about your situation and we will recommend one.
1. Diagnostic run
For: A specific question. A defined scope. A tight timeline.
What you get. A complete structural analysis of the system you name, including a full 3x3 model, a seven-part diagnostic, a trajectory forecast with confidence bounds, detection of the inflection points, and a written report with recommendations.
What we need from you. A clearly bounded topic, an executive sponsor, and a few hours of stakeholder time at the start of the engagement.
Typical engagements.
- Supply chain vulnerability assessment. A specific route, a specific product, a specific set of suppliers.
- Technology assessment. A specific patent, a specific platform, a specific acquisition target.
- Market entry or exit analysis. A specific geography, a specific sub-sector, a specific window.
- Scenario forecast for a known event. A regulatory change, a contract renegotiation, a leadership transition.
What it costs. Fixed price, scoped to the question. We will quote after the first conversation.
What you walk away with. A report, a model, a forecast, and a set of recommended actions. The model is yours to keep, re-run, or hand to your team.
2. Embedded deployment
For: A recurring need. A domain your organization operates in continuously. A team that wants the methodology as a permanent capability.
What you get. The 3x3 analytical platform installed in your environment, integrated with your data sources, and configured to your domain. Your team learns to operate it. Your institution develops a private institutional memory that compounds with every analysis.
What we need from you. Executive sponsorship, a technical counterpart, a budget for the integration, and a willingness to change how the team works.
Typical deployments.
- Strategy and competitive intelligence. Continuous monitoring of a portfolio of competitors, technologies, and markets.
- Risk and resilience. Ongoing assessment of supply chain, operational, and regulatory exposure across the enterprise.
- Intelligence and foresight. A continuously updated view of multiple theaters, regions, or domains.
- R&D and technology assessment. A persistent capability for evaluating patents, platforms, and emerging technologies.
What it costs. Annual license, integration services priced separately, scoped to the size of the institution and the breadth of domain coverage. We will scope after the first conversation.
What you walk away with. A permanent analytical capability, an institutional memory, a trained team, and a partner who has been doing this longer than anyone.
3. Strategic partnership
For: A long-horizon question. A portfolio of questions. An organization that wants the methodology embedded in how it sees the world.
What you get. A multi-year collaboration in which the 3x3 Institute team is embedded in your decision cycle. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your executives, your analysts, your operators. The methodology is applied continuously, on the questions that matter most, with the deepest possible integration.
What we need from you. A senior relationship owner on your side, a multi-year horizon, and the willingness to let a methodology reshape how decisions are made.
Typical partnerships.
- Defense and intelligence organizations. Multi-year engagement on the structural analysis of theaters, regions, and adversaries.
- Sovereign wealth and institutional investors. Multi-year engagement on the structural analysis of portfolios, sectors, and regimes.
- Large enterprises in transition. Multi-year engagement on the structural analysis of the enterprise itself, its markets, and its strategic options.
What it costs. Custom, scoped to the relationship.
What you walk away with. A partner in how your organization sees the world. A methodology that compounds. A capability that does not depend on any one person.
What you do not have to decide upfront
You do not have to know which engagement model is right. We will listen to your situation, ask questions, and recommend the smallest engagement that gives you the answer you need.
Most of our client relationships start with a diagnostic run. Many of them grow into embedded deployments. A few of them grow into strategic partnerships. The path is yours to choose.
