Perspectives, Inc.

Technical / Market Tracking

Our clients frequently work in teams on multidisciplinary projects in fast-changing fields. In these situations we recommend preparing monthly or bi-monthly “tracking reports” that concisely summarize recent developments in a particular area.
Intelligence

We help clients understand what’s happening: in a particular field, in adjacent sectors, in nascent commercial markets, and in changing environments. We can do this across most S&T fields because we specialize in tracking, synthesis, and lightweight analysis.

Our services enable research teams to make informed decisions and lets researchers focus on the core technical work that drives progress and ultimately determines success.
PM/PI support

Research managers are under-resourced and over-burdened. Time for the ‘real’ work of guiding a large R&D investment? You pushed for more than a decade to become a leader in your field, and now you spend your days administrating.

We can take on some of the management burdens that perhaps you never wanted in the first place. So you can spend your time doing what no one else can: setting the technical vision and working with your team.

We are a consulting firm focused on the intelligence and assessment needs of R&D organizations and government agencies. The firm provides advisory services to science and technology organizations across the breadth of biological, physical, chemical, and information sciences.

We are proud to work with accomplished research teams on a variety of cutting-edge topics.
