A Sneak Peek of What's Coming

šŸ”® Forecasts are just the beginning....

Hey there!

Iā€™ve been desperate to share this news with you for about a week, but I was worried about getting over my skis and promising too much.

(In fact, at one point, I didnā€™t think I was going to hit the February 1st launch for DCDR at all.)

But Iā€™m happy to announce that DCDR is ready for prime time, and Iā€™ll be opening up access on February 1st* as promised.

This has been a long time in the works, and I am extremely excited to share the app with the world. If youā€™re looking for a better, faster way to take care of your routine risk tasks and speed up your decision-making, DCDRā€™s for you.

People ask how fast DCDR is and the answer is ā€˜it dependsā€™. But two examples I like are:

- Users have built crisis exercise packs in 45-50 minutes, instead of the four or five days it takes normally

- I wrote the initial analysis of the impact of Houthi attacks on shipping on 30 minutes. Normally, something like that would take me two to three hours at least.

So, pretty fast.

But the DCDR launch isnā€™t all thatā€™s happening next week.

The Research SITREPs are also starting again.

Iā€™ll share more on these next week with the first issue, but these SITREPs are now being built on DCDRā€™s country stability assessment engine. This is becoming more powerful and refined every day, and I am really, really pleased with the outputs, even for the routine assessment runs.

A stability assessment in 2 secondsā€¦?!?
(Donā€™t worry; the newsletter version will look prettier than this)

The stability assessments are just the start: Iā€™ll also be sharing in-depth analysis, plus country and sector-specific reports to help decision-makers get ahead of the game.

As always, the intent isnā€™t to tell you whatā€™s happening ā€” we have plenty of sources of information ā€” the intent is to put things into context and tell you what events mean.

So thatā€™s two big events to look forward to next week ā€” not a bad start to the year.

All my best
