The practice
Twenty sector desks, because category fluency is not something you improvise in a first meeting. Each desk knows the buying cycle, the trade press, the regulatory line and the seasonal rhythm before the engagement starts.
A generalist takes six weeks to learn what a sector specialist knows on day one, and the client pays for those six weeks. Worse, the generalist does not know which claims will draw regulatory attention.
The trade titles and the journalists who staff them. The buying cycle and its seasonality. The regulatory boundary on claims. The awards that move procurement. The competitive set and how they are positioned.
Some of the strongest work comes from applying a mechanic that is standard in one category to one where it is unknown. Desks share method deliberately.
Every desk has claims it will not make. Sustainability numbers without evidence, health outcomes without trial data, and returns projections in real estate are the common ones.
