Our analysis has shaped decisions at boardrooms, briefed senior government officials, and been published in leading international outlets. Here is the proof.
Examples of analysis that moved the needle.
Kazakhstan's tungsten turn and the great-power race.
Our February 2026 analysis tracked Jiaxin International's move from a $22M loss to an expected $38–44M profit after launching commercial mining at Boguty — with its valuation reaching $4.8 billion. We built scenario-based assessments of great-power competition over Kazakhstan's tungsten before the market priced it in.
Called the Middle Corridor surge before it hit.
The Iran war and Pakistan-Afghanistan border closure degraded every southern route to the Indian Ocean. Container demand on the Middle Corridor surged 450–500% in the first week, and cargo processing times at Aktau and Kuryk tripled. Clients with our analysis understood the backlog and war-risk insurance repricing before competitors modeled it.
Mapped the yuan's structural shift across Central Asia.
The renminbi is becoming structurally embedded in Central Asia's banking systems — driven by commerce, not politics. Over 300,000 vehicles were exported through Khorgos in the first ten months of 2025. We translated that structural shift into three scenarios for the yuan's role through 2030, with concrete watchlist indicators for each trajectory.
