Opportunity Discovery
Find the opportunities your team has not had time to uncover
Vink Intelligence systematically maps your products, capabilities and market environment to identify potential customers, applications and strategic partners. Every shortlisted opportunity is reviewed by an expert and supported by traceable evidence.
What you already have
- Products
- Capabilities
- Market position
What we surface
- New customers
- New applications
- Strategic partners
- Account expansion
Problems we solve
Find new customers
Identify organisations whose products, processes or sourcing requirements may fit what you already offer.
Discover higher-value applications
Explore credible new uses for existing materials, technologies, data or capabilities.
Identify strategic partners
Find research, production, distribution and commercial partners with complementary capabilities.
Expand existing accounts
Surface additional products, locations and use cases that could deepen an existing relationship.
How it works
Four stages, from mapping what you already have to a reviewed, evidence-backed shortlist.
- 1
Map
We build a structured model of your products, capabilities, markets, relationships and strategic priorities.
- 2
Discover
Our research technology, including our proprietary Flock Discover software, searches public sources for relevant companies, demand signals, applications and partnerships.
- 3
Challenge
We test each candidate against contradictory evidence, existing relationships, technical constraints and commercial reality.
- 4
Deliver
You receive a reviewed shortlist of opportunities, supporting evidence, remaining uncertainties and recommended next actions.
Human review is a core part of every stage. An analyst validates the shortlist before it reaches you, it is never delivered unfiltered from a model.
Finding an additional buyer
A European circular-ingredients producer already sells a dried vegetable ingredient into pet food. Our research identifies a growing pet-food manufacturer that:
- Uses the same vegetable in existing recipes
- Publicly states that it evaluates new suppliers
- Requests samples before approving large orders
- Operates at sufficient scale to represent meaningful demand
The resulting opportunity dossier identifies the potential buyer, the evidence supporting the match, the most important compatibility question, and the recommended first commercial action.
This is an illustrative example built to show what a dossier looks like. It does not describe a completed client engagement or a named organisation.
What you receive
The normal scope of an initial sprint. Exact counts are agreed with you upfront based on how broad the theme is.
- A structured map of the relevant products, capabilities and market
- Human-reviewed opportunity dossiers, sized to the scope of the sprint
- A prioritised shortlist of the strongest targets
- Evidence supporting every recommendation
- Contradictory evidence and unresolved assumptions
- Classification by new customer, application, partner or account expansion
- Suggested decision-makers or business functions to approach
- Recommended validation and outreach actions
- A final working session with your commercial or innovation team
More than a company database
Ordinary databases tell you which companies exist. We investigate why two organisations might have a commercially relevant reason to speak, what the opportunity could be, what evidence supports it, and what remains uncertain.
Traceable evidence
Recommendations link back to their underlying sources.
Critical validation
Contradictory evidence and known limitations are shown rather than hidden.
Expert review
An analyst reviews the shortlist before it reaches you.
The research technology behind this service is Flock Discover, our evidence-first research software.
