Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Here’s how we work, what we offer, and how we fit into your organisation.

We work with multinational organisations that have operations in one or more countries across the Middle East and North Africa—or are planning to enter the region. Our clients span sectors such as energy, infrastructure, financial services, consumer goods, defence, and development.

We support both regional teams—such as General Managers and Country Directors—and global stakeholders, including strategy, risk, and public affairs teams at HQ.

Both. We design engagements to fit your needs.

Some clients come to us for a one-off country assessment or scenario planning project. Others retain us for continuous risk monitoring, tailored briefings, or embedded analyst support. Every engagement is built around your goals, exposure profile, and internal rhythm.

Our regional analysts are selected for their analytical rigour, not their political affiliation.

Each analyst operates under strict methodological and ethical standards, supported by oversight from our senior leadership. We prioritise transparency in sourcing, clarity in judgement, and a clear separation between reporting and opinion.

We also maintain discretion and confidentiality in how we manage relationships and deliver insight.

Yes.

We provide tailored market entry risk assessments—focusing on political dynamics, stakeholder influence, and reputational exposure. Our support helps you understand not just whether a market is viable, but how to enter, when, and with whom.

This includes early-stage risk analysis, stakeholder mapping, and briefings for senior decision-makers or boards.

Our analysts are from the region. They are based in the countries they cover, speak the languages, and understand the informal networks that shape real decisions.

We provide intelligence built on lived context, local networks, and cultural fluency—refined for strategic and operational relevance.

That proximity makes a difference in both what we see—and how quickly we see it.

Yes.

We offer embedded analyst support—part-time or full-time, remote or in-region. Analysts can work closely with your teams to provide ongoing intelligence, tailored to your operations and sector. All embedded analysts are backed by the wider Geopulse network and mentored by our senior leadership.

We are flexible. Our intelligence products include:

Written reports and assessments.
Live briefings (in person or virtual).
Interactive stakeholder maps. 
Scenario planning workshops. 
Analyst secondments.

We will work with you to align delivery formats with your internal needs—whether it is preparing for a board meeting, informing a market entry decision, or briefing a field team on current developments.
