The 30 second story
Ever paid thousands for a consultant to tell you what your competitors are doing? Indian startup Rocket has built an AI platform that writes the same type of detailed business reports that McKinsey or BCG would charge tens of thousands for. The platform can analyse your market, map out product strategies, and research competitors automatically. Rocket has not announced UK availability or pricing yet.
Why it matters
Big consulting firms charge enormous fees because they throw teams of analysts at problems that take weeks to research and write up. Most UK businesses cannot afford £50,000 for a market analysis or competitive review, so they make strategic decisions with less information than their larger rivals. Automation changes this completely. AI can now read through thousands of documents, analyse competitor websites, and write comprehensive strategy reports in hours rather than weeks. This puts the same quality of business intelligence within reach of companies that could never afford traditional consultants.
What this means for your business
- Market research that used to cost £20,000 and take a month could soon cost hundreds and finish in a day
- Your competitors will have access to the same cheap intelligence, so information advantages become temporary
- Strategic planning becomes more frequent because getting external analysis costs so much less
- Small businesses can now afford the same quality of competitive research that only large companies could buy before
