The thermometer and the doctor

We take the temperature. You make the diagnosis.

We don't do your job — we instrument it. Realytics measures what consumers do and say, immediately and independently. The diagnosis and the cure stay yours: your method, your judgment, your client. We make sure the reading under them is fresh, independent and defensible.

The thermometer — Realytics

We measure, immediately

Public, aggregated consumer signal on any market, sector, brand or target — refreshed weekly, set against a named field with a margin of error. A reading you'd otherwise wait weeks and six figures for, ready before the kickoff. We take the temperature; we don't pretend to be the doctor.

The doctor — you

You diagnose and treat

Your framework, your judgment, your recommendation, your client relationship. We hand you the reading your diagnosis stands on — so the engagement is spent on the cure, not on hunting for the data or defending where it came from.

Immediately, not in weeks

Commissioned research runs weeks to months and six figures; a syndicated tracker is a year old. The reading is current and ready before week one — so the engagement starts from evidence, not from a data-gathering phase.

Independent of the client's dashboard

The reading doesn't come from the client's own systems, or from you marking your own homework. It's public, aggregated consumer signal — the unconflicted second opinion a board and an investment committee trust.

You keep authorship

We're the instrument behind the work, never a logo on the client's slide. The study, the diagnosis and the relationship stay yours; co-branding is your call, with recorded authorization.

A Chart, In Chat A Written Study A Deck Under Your Name

What you can ask

The whole catalogue, pointed at the engagement.

No narrow "consultancy tool" — the same reads that serve operators, FMCG brands, property funds and ministries, pointed at whichever client, sector, market or target the engagement is on. Pick the job.

Win the engagement

Walk into the pitch and the first client meeting already knowing their market.

Pitch on insight

Lead with the problem, not the credentials

Competitive perception by attribute — the client's own customers against the field — so the pitch opens with the problem you've already found, not a capabilities deck.

The questions to ask

Walk in knowing where to push

The pain points the reading already surfaces, so your discovery is sharp, your questions land, and the scope is right from day one.

Before the kickoff

Evidence ready in days, not weeks

A reading ready before week one — not the weeks a commissioned study takes — so the engagement starts on diagnosis, not on data-gathering.

Take the reading

The diagnostic under the benchmark, the transformation, the strategy.

Benchmark

Set the client against its real peers

Performance and perception against a named comparison set, with a margin of error on every number — the defensible base a board diagnosis stands on.

Execution vs product

Find what's actually broken

Separate the offer problem from the operation problem, so the diagnosis and the roadmap aim where the gap is — not where the client assumes it is.

Perception by market & segment

Read where the client lands differently

How consumers rate the client city by city and segment by segment, so the strategy concentrates where the gap to the field is widest.

Size the move

Where to enter, where the whitespace is, what the demand will bear.

Rank the markets

Order the entry by real demand

Candidate markets ranked by real consumer demand against the supply serving them — the evidence under an entry, expansion or rationalisation recommendation.

Find the whitespace

Point at the opening

The catchments and occasions where demand out-runs the supply serving it, so the recommendation aims at the gap rather than the crowd.

Price & value perception

What the market will accept

Consumer price and value perception, so the pricing recommendation rests on what consumers actually signal.

The deal read

An independent consumer read on a target, a sector or a portfolio — before the decision.

Unconflicted

A second opinion off the target's books

A consumer read that doesn't come from the target's own systems — the independent check an investment committee or a board trusts.

Against the field

Read the target against its peers

Competitive standing, execution gaps and trajectory versus the real peer set, before the investment or the recommendation is made.

Red flags early

See the slip before the financials do

Where consumer standing is slipping, saturating or migrating to a challenger — the early warning that doesn't yet show in the numbers.

The reading under the engagement

Reads a consultancy walks in with, anonymized.

Four consumer reads built alongside advisory, strategy and intelligence firms — anonymized, engagement-ready. Each is a different engagement type: benchmark, market entry, diligence, transformation. In each one, Realytics takes the temperature — the firm makes the diagnosis.

A global strategy consultancy × a European F&B client · named European field

The coffee heartland lost its own category to its neighbour.

France Overtook Italy In 2022 +128% Stores, Falling Score Demand Sits In Poland

A strategy firm needed a defensible European coffee benchmark for an F&B client and asked the obvious question: where does the category sit best? The instinct says the espresso heartland. The reading says the opposite — and it's moving. In 2020, Italy outscored France on store-weighted satisfaction. By 2025, France leads Italy by about eight points. Italy's score fell as it nearly doubled its store count at stable prices. Meanwhile France, which captured the satisfaction lead, also runs more than twice Italy's consumer footfall per store — the crossover is demand, not just reputation. The live demand density sits furthest ahead in Poland, where footfall per store runs roughly 2.6 times Italy's. The centre of gravity moved before the client would have seen it.

The reading

The instinct — the heartland leads

You'd bet on Italy

Italy and Spain are where the coffee ritual was perfected. Any European benchmark, unexamined, assumes they sit at the top — and would never reach for France or Poland as the leaders.

The signal — a sustained crossover, satisfaction and demand

France overtook Italy in 2022 — on satisfaction and on footfall per store

In 2020 Italy (85.0) led France (80.7) by more than four points. France crossed above Italy in Q2 2022 and has held the lead by roughly eight to nine points every quarter since — France at 84.3 by 2025, Italy at 76.2. Italy's score fell while it added more than 9,900 stores; average spend held flat at roughly 12–13 euro; footfall per store didn't move. It is not a price story. It is an over-expansion story — and France, which captured the satisfaction lead, now draws more than twice Italy's consumer demand per store (13.8 vs 6.6). The reputation crossover and the demand crossover are the same event.

A global strategy consultancy × a European challenger brand

The biggest market is the thinnest. The one you'd skip pulls 3.5x the demand — and its incumbents aren't satisfying it.

20-Market Field 3.5x Demand-Per-Venue Spread High Demand, Underdelivering Incumbents

A strategy firm had to tell a challenger brand which European market to enter first. The size-first screen pointed at the biggest ones. We read consumer demand the way consumers express it — footfall per venue, against the supply already serving it — across a 20-market field. The instinct inverts: the two largest estates carry the lowest demand per venue, one of them actively shrinking. The market a size-first screen skips pulls 3.5x as much consumer demand per venue, still rising, on a growing estate. But not every high-demand opening is the same opening. The whitespace isn't just where demand outruns supply — it's where demand outruns supply and the incumbents already there aren't satisfying it.

The reading

The assumption

Enter the largest markets

The size-first screen ranks markets by venue count and backs the broadest estates — the markets where the category is most established. It reads large as safe. It doesn't read whether that supply already has the consumers covered, or whether those consumers are satisfied with what they're getting.

The signal

The biggest estates are the most over-supplied — and high-demand markets aren't all the same opening

Demand-per-venue across the 20-market field runs 3.5x from top to bottom — and runs opposite to estate size. The two largest markets sit at the very bottom on consumer demand per venue; one is contracting (169 venues opened vs 263 closed). Among the high-demand markets, the read splits further: some are busy and well-served by incumbents; others carry the same high consumer pull but lower incumbent satisfaction — the markets where consumers are already telling you the supply there isn't good enough. Those are two different kinds of opening.

By the numbers

+25

The diagnosis

Entry sized on real consumer demand per unit of supply — not estate headcount, not a panel. The firm wrote the strategy; we took the temperature — enter where demand outruns the supply serving it, and where that supply is already leaving consumers wanting more. That is a gap that defends itself: incumbents who are already underdelivering have the least to throw at a well-positioned challenger.

A financial-intelligence partner × a global sportswear brand

Still loved — but a quarter of the doors now carry the markdown half of the brand.

61% Of Footfall, Off-Price ~18pt Poorer Catchments 1.6× The Rival's Tilt

An intelligence partner needed an unconflicted read on a global brand's turnaround. The product still pulls — advocacy leads the field, value beats the nearest rival. But 24% of the doors now carry 61% of the footfall, through off-price formats, in catchments roughly 18 purchasing-power points poorer than the full-price estate — around 1.6× the off-price concentration of the nearest rival in the same category. The blended satisfaction score a CIM shows hides the real diligence question: is this still a premium brand, or already a markdown one? The mix answered it before the margin line will.

The reading

Demand & value — intact

The brand is still wanted

Consumer advocacy leads the field and value perception reads 76 against the nearest rival's 70. The product pull is real — and that's the starting concession any credible diligence read has to make.

Channel mix — the structural drift

A quarter of the doors, most of the footfall

61% of captured footfall runs through off-price formats on only 24% of the estate, in catchments ~18 purchasing-power points poorer than the full-price network. The nearest rival in the same category runs its off-price at 37% of footfall. This brand runs it at nearly 1.6× that rate — and the discount channel's consumer opinion sits 4 points below the full-price estate, with the Clearance format at the floor of the whole network.

A strategy consultancy × a retail bank

The biggest branch estate — and the only bank its young customers don't like.

Largest Estate, Lowest Rated Loses The Young By 13 Points The Generational Franchise To Lose

A strategy firm needed to frame a transformation for the market's largest retail bank. The obvious read is the famous one: warm branches, a fee-and-transparency complaint the whole sector shares. The non-obvious one is generational. The bank reads last on consumer opinion across the field — and worst of all with younger customers, a gap of 13 points versus its own older cohorts. The one bank pulling ahead is the only one in the field whose younger customers rate it higher than its older ones. The fee gap is sector-wide. The generational franchise is the bank's alone to lose — and that sets the order of the fix.

The reading

The strength — defend it

People and reach lead

The largest branch estate in the market, #1 by count. The human and branch experience — staff warmth, in-person service — is the asset the transformation protects. Older cohorts score it higher, confirming the real estate earns its keep with the customers it already holds.

The gap — fix it first

Last on opinion. Losing the young hardest.

Largest estate, lowest consumer opinion share in the field — and a 13-point gap between how younger and older customers read it. The only bank closing the field is the only one with the sign reversed: younger customers rate it higher than older ones (+4 points). On attentive service — the most-discussed dimension in the sector — the bank reads 24% positive vs 45% at the bank pulling ahead. Fees are a sector-wide problem. The generational franchise is not.

By the numbers

~22pt

+4pt

The diagnosis

Defend the branch warmth. On attentive service and responsiveness — the two dimensions the sector's consumer base discusses most — the gap to the field leader is the largest and the most consistent across cohorts. Rebuild those before the sector-wide fee complaint compounds a problem only this bank has. The firm set the transformation; we took the temperature.
