All data in our reports is collected from open sources: news media, social media, government agencies, business associations, foreign embassies, blogs, think tanks, podcasts, and online videos.

• Data is updated daily. We collect thousands of new data points: articles, tweets, press releases, data releases, etc. each day from across Asia and the world. 
• All delivered data includes links and references to original source material. This allows you to dig deeper when you desire.
• All analysis derived from source materials includes links and references to original source material. 

The Erudite Intelligence package provides the following value-added analysis:

• Bespoke indices. We have created various bespoke indices, based on mining the data we collect. We believe these indices function as reliable indicators for some of the recurring questions those on the ground ask, such as “How do people on the ground in South Korea feel about the possibility of a war?” Our North Korea Perceived Risk Index seeks to provide a running answer to that question.
• Issue Tracking. We track more than 50 issues across time. These issues may be global, regional, or national in scope. These issues are large topics such as the war in Ukraine, and as such, impact variables and indicators business leaders rely on to make decisions on the ground in Asia.
• Variable Tracking. We track more than 100 variables across time as well, such as economic indicators, demographic indicators, and commonly used language. 
• Our indices, issues, and variables are all inputs into the analysis process.

Current subscribers include major retail and investment banks, consumer goods brands, F&B brands, luxury goods brands, and energy companies. Our reports serve multiple roles inside each company (from P&L to HR to Security to Compliance) and are applicable to virtually every industry.

The Erudite Intelligence Package may be used for a variety of functions:

This use-case includes competitive intelligence, trend management, customer sentiment, economic environment tracking, compliance and legal environment tracking, and investor sentiment.  (P&L, HR, Finance)
