Research and Insights
Research capability behind the software
Research and data intelligence turns operational records into ecosystem understanding, market context, benchmarks, impact analysis and publishable insight outputs.
Capabilities
Five research and insight areas
Each area can support a standalone research question or complement data produced by SiRA Platform workflows.
Research area
Ecosystem research
Structured research into ecosystem structure, participants, activity, programmes and development, prepared for organisations that fund, operate or participate in an ecosystem.
View area
Research area
Market mapping
Market and sector mapping that organises companies, technologies and segments into a structured view for scouting, investment analysis and strategy work.
View area
Research area
Benchmarking
Benchmarking work that defines comparable criteria and applies them consistently across programmes, portfolios, events or ecosystems.
View area
Research area
Impact analysis
Analysis of programme, event and portfolio outcomes using operational data, structured follow-up information and human interpretation.

Outputs
Prepared formats for insight delivery
No invented reports are listed. Published outputs can be added when confirmed and approved for public use.
Research reports
Longer analytical outputs covering ecosystems, markets, programmes or portfolios.
Insight articles
Shorter analytical pieces on venture, programme and ecosystem topics.
Data briefs
Focused summaries of a specific dataset, question or metric.
Market maps
Structured visual views of companies, segments and technologies.
Benchmarking reports
Comparative analysis against defined and documented criteria.
Case analyses
Analysis of a specific programme, event or selection process.
Define the research question first
A short meeting can identify whether the need is ecosystem research, market mapping, benchmarking, impact analysis or a custom reporting structure.
