MAPS Intelligence

News

What happened. And what it means for you.

MAPS follows news about the market and competitors in the country’s own publications, in their language. Then it reads it for you: what moved, what changed since last time, what it means for the brand. Without reading a hundred articles.

Local sources

The market’s publications,
in its own language.

Choose the competitors to follow — MAPS suggests them from Competitive Intelligence — and MAPS builds the list of sources: trade, business and consumer publications, associations and trade shows. It keeps only the ones that have actually published recently, and you can add your own. The example is Japan.

The competitors to follow and the sources for the Japanese market
Five competitors followed, 14 Japanese sources. Fictional names.
News filtered by brand, competitors, trends

A news item from Japan, with the translation below: every news item can be translated into your language.
So What

Not a list of news.
A reading.

What competitors are doing, what is moving in the market, the implications for the brand. Every fact has its source and its date; inferences are declared as such. And from the second reading on, what has changed compared with the previous ones.

The implications for the brand, marked as inferences
The implications for the brand — marked “INFERENCE”.
In B2B

A different press,
the same method.

In B2B the sources are the technical and supply-chain press, and the news is about new product ranges, distribution agreements, acquisitions, trade shows. The example: a manufacturer of automotive aftermarket components.

Competitors followed and B2B sources
The B2B reading: competitors and market, with source and date
The implications for the manufacturer
The brand has a fictional name; the companies and publications are real.
And then

It stays in the project.
And lands in your inbox.

In memory, with its date

Every reading goes into the project’s memory and stays there, dated: the chat and the tools use it, and you can ask “what had changed in March?”.

The history

All readings stay in the history, each with its PDF: you see how the market has moved over time.

By email

You turn on automatic sending — daily, weekly or monthly — and choose the recipients. Or you send the latest reading right away.

What goes into memory is the curated reading, not the raw press: the news stays news.

A hundred articles.
One reading.
