Emergent Insights is an advisory and intelligence practice for B2B software companies, helping leaders understand where their category is moving, where their company stands, and whether their teams believe the roadmap can win.
Three ways to read momentum
AI is changing categories, company positions, and product bets at the same time. Emergent Insights reads momentum at three levels: where the market is moving, where a company stands, and what its go-to-market team is seeing.
Free category scans showing how AI and other market forces are changing products, buyer expectations, competitive claims, and where value is moving over time.
An independent outside-in read of your company or a competitor against those shifts: what reflects real impact, what is still optics, and where the position is exposed.
A structured, confidential read from GTM on whether product direction, including AI bets, will help them win, where confidence breaks, and what deserves attention.
Latest briefs
The Briefs are the public lens: fast reads on how AI is changing a market, where value is moving, which claims are getting crowded, and what buyers should ask before trusting the story.
Every vendor is racing to own what happens after the alert. The category is moving from finding broken data to helping teams run the response.
Read the brief →CDPs are being pulled between data infrastructure, activation, and AI orchestration. The open question is who owns customer intelligence.
Read the brief →MDM is being reframed around trustworthy data for AI systems. Buyers still need a clearer answer on governance, ownership, and time to value.

Not every question requires all three offerings. The Brief establishes the category baseline. The Audit applies it to a company. The Index adds the structured view from the teams carrying product direction into the market.
Use a free Momentum Brief to see what AI is genuinely changing, what is becoming table stakes, and where value is moving.
Run a Momentum Audit when you need an objective read on your company or a competitor against that category movement.
Use The Momentum Index when the question is whether product direction will help the field win and where opportunities or concerns need attention.
Momentum Audit
The Brief shows how AI is changing a category and where value is moving. A Momentum Audit maps your company and named competitors against that shift: what reflects meaningful customer impact, what is still optics, and which moves deserve attention first.
Whether your company is associated with where value is moving or where the category has already been.
Where named competitors own a clearer claim, stronger proof, or more credible position.
Whether new AI claims are changing customer value and competitive position or moving faster than visible proof.
The inside-out read
The Briefs and Audit read the market from the outside. The Momentum Index reads it from the inside: whether your go-to-market team believes the roadmap will help them win. Together they keep product, market, and go-to-market aligned.
