A Different Approach to Commodity Intelligence

Since 2002, Intratec has built commodity intelligence around a simple belief: trustworthy information begins with trustworthy methods.

Trust You Can Verify

If you have ever bought commodity intelligence, some of these headaches will sound familiar: expensive advice that must be taken on faith, steep prices that change with who is asking, numbers built from interviews you cannot check, or cut-rate data published with no real validation.

It does not have to work that way. When the work is solid, nothing about it needs hiding — what it includes, how it is built, what it costs. Trust stops being something a salesperson asks for and becomes something you can verify.

Intratec was built on that idea, and it shows in how we work: everything open, before you spend anything.

Independent Analyses

No stake in the markets covered, and no participant surveys behind the numbers.

Auditable Methods

Documented assumptions and sources, so you can see how each figure is built.

Transparent Pricing

Prices published online, the same for every customer, known before any commitment.

Free Samples & Previews

Full samples and previews show the real content and depth before any purchase.

How Intratec Stands Apart

Commodity intelligence is sold through a few familiar models. Intratec deliberately fits none of them — the difference runs on two planes: how we build our solutions, and how we do business.

Strategy & Advisory Consulting

McKinsey BCG BAIN
Bespoke analysis and advice, typically sold through relationships
Fees usually scoped per engagement, with little public basis to compare upfront
The data and assumptions behind each recommendation stay confidential, hard to audit independently
One firm often advises competing clients, with internal barriers outsiders can't verify

Conventional Publishers

S&P Global Argus ICIS
In thinly traded markets, prices often rest on surveys and editorial judgment rather than confirmed deals
The priced data sits behind a subscription, and can't be verified before you buy
Methods often stay locked into legacy practices, slow to improve even as the market moves on
Access is typically sold as negotiated enterprise subscriptions, priced case by case

Raw Data Aggregators

Business Analytiq IndexBox ChemAnalyst
High volumes of data resold cheaply, with breadth often coming before accuracy
Data often scraped or repurposed from elsewhere, with little independent validation
Definitions and units often vary, left for the buyer to reconcile
Feeds can lag the market, and series may change without notice
