Commercial intelligence for the AI era.

GAIN studies companies and markets through specific, defined lenses to answer commercial and strategic questions. AI is a core thesis, alongside broader work across technologies, markets, and operating models. We analyze the evidence across companies and markets to understand what is changing, why it matters, and what it means.

Why this exists

One question kept becoming more important.

For more than two decades, Jason Brausewetter built and led commercial organizations across startups, growth companies, and public companies. In every market, the same question surfaced: why do some commercial organizations adapt while others stall?

AI has made the need for evidence-led commercial intelligence more urgent. GAIN exists to study companies, markets, technologies, and operating patterns through defined analytical lenses, using independent research and GTMology to follow the evidence across companies and over time.

Operating experience across Shareholder.com, Nasdaq, Q4, Discovery Data, LTSE, Figure, EQ, and Macrobond informs the perspective behind the research.

The lab · [GTM]lgy

The commercial intelligence lab behind GAIN.

GTMology continuously gathers commercial signals across companies and markets, including management commentary, hiring, product activity, filings, funding, and strategic change, then synthesizes them into intelligence through a specific, defined lens.

The lab can track individual companies or defined universes and revisit them over time. Each new read adds context to what came before, creating a longitudinal record of what changed, what held, and what emerged next.

The intelligence feed
Multi-source, verified, synthesized
News Press Hiring Jobs SEC Product Patents Funding Strategy Research Transcripts
GTMology pulls each source in through its APIs, then specialized agents go to work. Each one deeply analyzes a single intelligence signal and surfaces the themes and patterns it finds. An orchestrator draws those together into the narrative, with a hallucination guard flagging every date and dollar claim before it is trusted.
Company intelligence, continuously refreshed
A living intelligence profile for every company under study, public or private, updated as new signals land, with each observation traceable back to its source.
Universes & longitudinal analysis
Defined sets of companies, such as an index, an industry, or a cohort, refreshed on a cadence so change is measured against what we previously observed, not against memory.
AI adoption & organizational change
How companies are adopting AI across strategy, product, hiring, operations, and go-to-market, read through what they do and say over time, not just what they announce.
Executive intelligence
Fragmented signals resolve into a single, defensible thesis about a company or a market. That thesis is the raw material of GAIN research.
Signal synthesis · the nucleus
Not one signal, but many, read together for the pressure underneath, until a specific thesis emerges about a company, cohort, or market. Often a sharper read than the subject has of itself.
Thousands of fragmented signals Executive intelligence

GTMology is not a collection of prompts or off-the-shelf AI tools. It is a commercial intelligence system built to codify how experienced operators evaluate markets, companies, and commercial change. Its intelligence becomes published GAIN research.

The research

Evidence, not opinion.

GAIN publishes evidence-led research on companies, markets, technologies, and commercial change. AI is a core thesis, with studies shaped by the specific question and analytical lens being applied. Much of the work emerges from GTMology's accumulated intelligence and longitudinal analysis.

Findings are published when the evidence supports them, not on a content calendar.
