Public-Source Corporate Intelligence & Risk Research
Beaty Corporate Intelligence
Before you commit to a business relationship, investment, or acquisition—know the company you’re dealing with.
BCI helps businesses that need to understand a company before making an important commitment but lack the time or internal research capacity to assess it thoroughly. Each engagement provides analyst-reviewed findings, identifiable sources, clear limitations, and practical next steps tied to the client’s decision.
Why add an outside assessment
Your team knows your business. BCI adds research capacity and a separate assessment of the company you are considering.
Dedicated attention to your question
Your team has competing responsibilities. BCI gives the agreed company-specific question focused research and review, so your staff can examine the findings and decide what to do next.
A separate perspective on the relationship
An outside assessment adds distance from the work already invested in selecting a vendor, customer, or partner. BCI examines supporting and adverse evidence, makes assumptions visible, and identifies questions that deserve another look.
A documented basis for discussion
Findings, sources, information gaps, and practical next steps give your team a basis for discussion before committing. You retain the decision and can examine the reasoning behind the assessment.
An outside perspective does not eliminate bias or uncertainty. BCI distinguishes established facts from analytical judgments and considers positive indicators alongside concerns.
Before You Commit
Understand the Company You Plan to Do Business With or Invest In
Examine the company’s strengths, risks, and unanswered questions—and what they could mean for your business relationship or investment.
Is leadership and governance stable?
Examine leadership, board oversight, management changes, governance concerns, and other indicators of organizational stability.
How financially resilient is the company?
Assess available indicators of financial condition, financing dependence, liquidity, leverage, and capacity to absorb setbacks.
What does the company depend on?
Identify material reliance on customers, contracts, government business, suppliers, financing, or other external relationships.
Are there legal or regulatory concerns?
Review relevant litigation, regulatory, compliance, and publicly reported corporate-risk developments.
What could affect execution?
Examine operational performance, acquisition and integration risk, execution concerns, and other issues material to the decision.
What it means:
BCI brings the findings together into an overall assessment with practical next steps for the business decision.

Analytical Approach
Focused on What the Evidence Supports
Source-Driven
Material findings are grounded in identifiable, lawfully accessible public sources.
Decision-Focused
Research concentrates on issues that could materially affect the client’s stated business decision.
Analytically Disciplined
Established facts, analytical judgments, mitigating indicators, and unresolved information gaps remain distinct.
Bounded
Research is performed to the agreed service level rather than expanding automatically when additional questions emerge.
Analyst-Led
Direct Involvement From Intake Through Reporting
Beaty Corporate Intelligence is led by a retired U.S. Air Force officer and former federal program manager with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and experience developing and presenting decision-oriented analysis.
The Principal Analyst reviews the research and assessment and is responsible for the final report. That review connects the client’s question to the evidence, considers conflicting and mitigating information, and makes unresolved questions visible.
