Free analyses for journalists etc.

Public-interest analyses — available free of charge within our capacity.

CRED is designed to read complex fields: relationships, power structures, strategies, institutions, and societal dynamics. The method is particularly well suited to situations where many interests, perspectives, and consequences interact — and where traditional analyses often become too narrow, too technical, or overly politicised.

For this reason, we offer free strategic and investigative analyses to:

• journalists
• newsrooms and investigative projects
• public commentators and analysts
• research and development environments
• individuals or groups working on issues of broad societal significance

This applies to analyses with a clear public-interest purpose — work that contributes to public understanding, critical scrutiny, or the development of better solutions in areas that affect many people.

The offer is available within our capacity limits, and all enquiries are assessed individually. We cannot take on everything, but we prioritise projects where CRED can genuinely add new and relevant insight — and where the analysis is not primarily intended as a commercial decision basis.

Commercially and financially motivated analyses

Analyses, assessments, and plans that are financially motivated, or that feed directly into:

• business development
• investments and capital allocation
• organisational and leadership decisions
• commercial strategies
• paid consulting engagements

are offered exclusively on a paid basis.

This applies regardless of whether the analysis is carried out for individuals, companies, organisations, or institutions. The distinction is principled: when the analysis is intended to support value creation, financial gain, or competitive advantage, it is a professional service on par with other advanced analytical work.

What kinds of analyses can CRED deliver?

CRED can be applied to a wide range of questions, including:

• strategic analysis of political, cultural, or societal fields
• scrutiny of power and decision structures in organisations and institutions
• analysis of conflicts, stalled processes, or recurring patterns
• assessment of long-term plans, reforms, or major initiatives
• system analysis focused not on individuals, but on the whole and its dynamics

What these analyses share is that CRED does not begin with assumptions about what should be the case. Instead, it reads the field as it actually presents itself — across narratives, positions, and self-presentation.

Why does CRED produce new — and often striking — insights?

CRED differs from traditional analytical approaches in several decisive ways:

• The method reads relationships and dynamics, not only actors, numbers, or stated goals.
• It identifies underlying patterns that are often invisible in standard reports.
• It shows where and why systems lock up — and what is actually required to restore movement.
• It reveals inconsistencies between intention, structure, and consequence.

The result is often insights that feel both surprising and obvious in hindsight: “Why hasn’t anyone seen this before?” is a common reaction.

This applies whether the analysis is free and public-interest oriented, or paid and commercially applied. The method’s precision and depth are the same.

In brief

• Public-interest and socially critical analyses can be carried out free of charge, within capacity
• Financially and commercially motivated analyses are offered on a paid basis
• CRED consistently delivers new, deep, and action-relevant insights — regardless of use case
