Your expertise. Our data engine.
Gopf does the desk research behind your projects – ecosystem, value chain, players and thousands of sources – in days, not months. Your team starts where clients pay you: the so-what.
And between projects, Gopf keeps listening to your clients' markets – so you see the next project before your client asks for it.
- 1–2 weeksto a calibrated ecosystem
- Thousandsof sources, read twice a day
- 100%of sources archived
- Publicsources only – no client data needed
Clients want weeks, not months – at AI prices.
The expertise is still yours. What clients no longer want to pay for is the time it takes to gather the evidence.
Speed
Three to six months for a market study no longer fits a client's decision cycle.
Price
Clients expect AI efficiency – "that can't cost much if you use AI" – while projects get smaller.
Data
Desk research by hand covers a fraction of what's published. Paid databases are the same ones your competitors and clients use.
Build or buy
A crawling, scoring and archiving engine of your own takes years of engineering. Gopf has spent four years building one.
Four ways Gopf grows your business.
Use it inside your projects, between your projects, for your own business, or as part of what you sell.
The groundwork in days
Gopf maps your client's ecosystem – competitors, customers, suppliers, adjacent markets and the value chain – and gathers what's published about it: trade press, company sources, patents, regulation and scientific literature, each scored for credibility.
Your experts spend their time on interviews, validation and the recommendation.
Outcome: more projects with the same teamA reason to call your client
Set up the ecosystems of active and dormant clients in your own Gopf workspace. Gopf works from public sources only – you don't need your client's data or permission.
When a new regulation, a competitor move or a supplier crisis hits a client's market, you see it first – and arrive with a proposal instead of a sales pitch.
Outcome: projects that start with a signalYour own market as an ecosystem
Give us your lists – prospects, competitors, service providers, technology suppliers – or simply the sectors you work in. Gopf monitors them for you and also shows who is active in your sectors and isn't a client yet.
You phrase your project types as your own triggers, in your own words – so you see where demand is developing.
Outcome: your own early warning system for new businessEarn while the data keeps flowing
Bring Gopf to your clients as part of your offer. Every licence you introduce earns you a revenue share for as long as it runs.
Your work doesn't end with the final presentation: the client keeps watching the market through the lens you set up – and calls you when it moves.
Outcome: recurring revenue next to project feesFrom one sensor technology to its next markets – in four weeks.
A maker of highly specialised sensors wanted to know where else its technology could win. Anonymised; one 30-minute call per week.
- Week 1
Understand
What does the technology actually measure? One call to understand the physics behind it.
- Week 2
Widen
Gopf finds every market where that physical principle matters – from aviation to dental equipment.
- Week 3
Narrow
The client strikes out what doesn't fit. Gopf maps value chain, players and where the client could position itself.
- Week 4
Look ahead
For the remaining markets: what's being researched, which trends drive them, what's within reach.
The client did the judging, Gopf did the reading – a consultant adds interviews, expertise, judgement and the recommendation.
We read. You advise.
Gopf is software and a powerful tech team, not a consultancy. We don't write recommendations – that's your job, and your clients pay you for it.
- Maps ecosystems, value chains and adjacent markets
- Reads thousands of sources twice a day
- Scores every source for credibility and archives it
- Flags what changed and why it may matter
- Runs first frameworks on the data – PESTEL, Five Forces
- Frame the question with the client
- Run expert interviews and validate
- Bring scientific and industry judgement
- Write the recommendation and lead the workshop
- Stay with the client through implementation
What your clients will ask about compliance.
Data protection is the first question every AI project gets. Here are the answers.
Monitoring a client's market uses public information. No NDA material has to leave your hands.
Hosted in a Google Cloud data center in Zurich, one isolated instance per customer.
AI processing with zero data retention – nothing is used to train any model.
Gopf is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.
Every source is archived. Years later you can still show where a finding came from – no broken links.
Pull data via MCP into Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot and build on it in your own analyses and slides.
Test it on one of your cases – free.
- Name a case. An industry, a technology or a client – or your lists and sectors, if you want to monitor your own market.
- We set it up. The first draft of the ecosystem is ready within a day, and it is calibrated in one to two weeks.
- You explore. Full access to the platform, every signal and every source. After two to three weeks there are enough signals to judge it. The test has no fixed end date: free until you can decide.
- We review together. What was useful, what was missing – and whether your own licence, a partnership or both make sense.
No cost, no commitment. If it doesn't save your team time on a real case, we part as friends. Pick a slot directly:
Questions consultants ask us.
Are you competing with consultancies?
No. Gopf doesn't offer strategy consulting. We deliver data, signals and sources; the interpretation, the expert validation and the recommendation stay with you.
Do our clients need to be involved?
No. Gopf builds a client's ecosystem from public sources only. You don't need their data or their permission to follow their market – and you decide when to bring Gopf into the conversation.
Can we define our own triggers?
Yes. Describe in your own words what Gopf should look for – “logistics system failure” or “new site opened”, for example – and add it. From then on Gopf checks new reports against it, for the whole ecosystem or just one group, such as your competitors. When it applies, you get notified.
Can you add the sources we rely on?
Usually, yes. Tell us which databases matter in your field – patent or literature databases, for example. We connect them, free where possible; if a source has a cost, we clarify it with you first.
What does Gopf give me that I don't see on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn shows what people post there. Gopf reads thousands of sources twice a day and reaches specialist suppliers far down the chain, where large data vendors often have very little. Every source is checked and archived. Whether that gives you a lead, you'll see in the test on your own market.
Can Gopf spot technologies that are still in the lab?
Partly. Gopf sees what is published – patents, papers, conference news, start-up announcements. Research that hasn't been published is invisible to any data system; that's where your experts and interviews make the difference.
Does Gopf find what isn't published anywhere?
Not directly. Lease terms or depreciation schedules aren't public. What is visible are public indications: company age and site history, job ads in a country with no site yet, growth in annual reports, management changes. What follows from them is your call. And the longer Gopf monitors a market, the more history you have to work with.
How do you make sure a signal is correct?
Gopf checks every source: what does it write about, and is it connected to the industry? Social platforms like TikTok or Instagram don't count as validated sources. For a concrete claim, such as a management change, Gopf runs a targeted search for further sources that back it up. You can see the sources behind every signal; the judgement stays with you.
How does the partnership work commercially?
You bring Gopf to your clients as one joint offer: you own the client relationship and add the strategy advice; Gopf joins the meetings and takes care of demos, pilot, onboarding, platform, data and running costs. For every client licence you earn a recurring share, paid again every year the client renews. Clients you register with us are protected.
Are there any upfront costs?
Not for the partnership: no upfront costs, no fees, no minimum volume – you sign one partner agreement and can start with your first client right away. Gopf carries the technology, data and running costs. The test on one case is free too. If you use Gopf on an ongoing basis for your own business, that is a paid licence – we discuss the scope on a call.
Is it worth it if only a few projects come out of it?
A signal rarely applies to just one client. When something shifts in a market, you see which of your clients are active there and can bring the same offer to several of them. The free test on your own case is the best way to see whether it adds up for you.
What does my client see?
There are two access levels. You have the admin view with all functions. Your client sees the news feed and the reports you share with them – a weekly or monthly competitor report built around your questions, for example.
Where is the data stored?
In Switzerland, in a Google Cloud data center in Zurich, on an isolated instance. AI processing runs with zero data retention, and nothing is used for training. Gopf is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.
Can we use Gopf with our own AI tools?
Yes. Through Gopf's MCP server, assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot can work with signals, company profiles and archived sources directly – so the data flows into your own analyses and slides.
