Methodology and sourcing behind the figures and links shown above.

Research and advisory

Search results did not provide a direct figure for the independent research & advisory segment. I used available tech market growth proxies in the results (e.g., rapid growth in Document AI and digital payments) and applied domain knowledge about the size of consulting/analyst-advisory niches (leading analyst firms plus boutique advisory practices) to estimate a global market of about $25B for independent research & advisory to technology executives, with mid-single-digit to high-single-digit CAGR driven by digital transformation demand. The estimate reflects faster growth in adjacent tech markets (double-digit in some niches) but a broader advisory market that scales more slowly.

Thought leadership and keynote speaking

Search results describe the thought‑leadership/keynote sector but contain no explicit market size or CAGR. Estimate derived from internal industry heuristics: an approximate annual volume of paid keynote engagements worldwide (hundreds of thousands), average speaker fees and adjacent revenue from executive workshops, speaker bureaus, and digital/hybrid deliveries. Combining these factors yields an estimated global market ~$4B and moderate growth potential as organizations continue investing in executive learning and hybrid events (CAGR ~6%).

Market intelligence

Primary estimate based on industry reports in the provided search results. 6Wresearch explicitly sizes the broad Market Intelligence market at USD 12.1 billion (2026) with an 8.2% CAGR (2026–2032). This is corroborated by market-intelligence-platform and adjacent submarket reports (WiseGuy, Fortune, Coherent) showing platform and subsegment sizes ranging from ~USD0.56B (competitive CI tools) to USD10–28B (platform/location/sales intelligence), which support a multi-billion-dollar market with mid-single-digit to low-double-digit CAGR. I therefore use the 6Wresearch headline figure (USD 12.1B) and its CAGR (8.2%) as the representative estimate for the broader market-intelligence segment.

Investment research and portfolio analytics

Estimate derived by combining reported figures for adjacent markets in the search results: Portfolio management software (MRFR) at ~$8.86B (2024) and 12.63% CAGR, the broader financial analytics market (Fortune Business Insights) at $10.7B (2025) and 11.0% CAGR, and smaller investment research software estimates (~$2.5B in 2024). The institutional investment research and portfolio analytics segment sits at the intersection of these categories; weighting toward portfolio management and financial analytics yields an estimated market size ≈ $9.5B and growth potential ~11.5% CAGR.
