Source-Driven
Important findings are grounded in identifiable, lawfully accessible public sources.
About BCI
Corporate Research Built Around the Decision
Beaty Corporate Intelligence provides analyst-led public-source corporate research and risk analysis for business relationships, investments, acquisitions, and other company-specific decisions.
The objective is not to collect every available fact about a company. It is to identify the information most relevant to the decision, assess what the evidence supports, and make unresolved questions visible.
Analytical Approach
Focused on What the Evidence Supports
Decision-Focused
Research concentrates on the issues most likely to affect the client’s stated business decision.
Analytically Disciplined
Established facts, analytical conclusions, findings that reduce or explain the risks, and unresolved information gaps remain distinct.
Clear Scope
Research is performed to the agreed service level rather than expanding automatically when additional questions emerge.
Analyst-Led
Direct Involvement From Intake Through Reporting
Beaty Corporate Intelligence is led by Alan Beaty, a retired United States Air Force officer and former federal program manager with a Master of Business Administration (MBA).
His professional background includes developing, evaluating, and presenting decision-oriented information for senior leaders and stakeholders.
BCI research and analysis are conducted directly by the Principal Analyst, providing continuity between the client’s question, the research, the assessment, and the final report.
Research Discipline
What BCI Emphasizes
Decision Relevance
Research is structured around the business question rather than around a generic collection checklist.
Source Transparency
Important findings are tied to identifiable sources so the basis for the assessment can be understood and reviewed.
Fact and Judgment Separation
What is established by the evidence is distinguished from what the evidence reasonably indicates.
Visible Information Gaps
Material questions that cannot be reliably resolved from public information are identified rather than filled with unsupported assumptions.
Service Model
A Deliberately Focused Practice
BCI is structured as a focused analyst-led practice rather than a large investigative firm.
Standard services are designed around defined company-specific questions, public-source research within an agreed scope, clear deliverables, and realistic turnaround periods.
Assignments requiring materially broader, specialized, multi-company, or otherwise nonstandard work are separately reviewed and scoped.
Scope
Public-Source Corporate Intelligence
BCI focuses on lawful research concerning companies, business entities, corporate leadership, ownership and control, governance, financial and operational conditions, legal and regulatory exposure, and other decision-relevant corporate risks.
BCI does not perform consumer background investigations, surveillance, impersonation or pretexting, unauthorized access to systems or accounts, technical penetration testing, or acquisition of restricted or improperly obtained private information.
