The cost of picking the wrong country

Explorer FAQ

Common questions about the Explorer report.

What's the difference between Explorer and reading market reports online?

Online reports cover broad industries - not your specific product, buyer, or competitive context. An Explorer report starts from who you are and what you sell, then scans all of Europe through that lens. The output is a country ranking with clear recommendations on where to go first, not a generic overview.

Does Explorer cover all of Europe or just one country?

All of Europe. Explorer is a pan-European market scan that ranks and compares countries based on your product, buyer profile, and competitive context. It tells you which markets have the strongest opportunity and why. For a deep dive into a single country, that's what our Go-to-Market report is for.

Is Explorer enough to make a decision on where to expand?

That's exactly what it's designed for. Explorer answers "Where in Europe should we expand, and why?" with a scored evaluation across market attractiveness, competitive intensity, regulatory complexity, and ease of entry. It gives you a top 3 recommended markets with rationale. For most leadership teams, this is sufficient to choose where to go next.

What if I want more depth on a specific country after Explorer?

Order a Go-to-Market report for that country. It builds on the Explorer research and gives you a full strategy and execution playbook - buyer personas, target accounts, outreach templates, and a 90-day action plan. You're not paying for the same work twice.

How customized is the report really?

Completely. Two SaaS companies will get different Explorer reports because their products, buyers, and competitors are different. We don't use templates filled with generic data - every section is written for your specific situation.

What format does it come in?

A branded PDF (15-25 pages) plus a country comparison in Google Sheets with all underlying data. You also get a 15-minute delivery call to walk through the key findings.

Can I share the report with my board or investors?

Yes. The report is designed to be presentation-ready. Many clients use Explorer reports directly in board decks or investor updates to support expansion decisions.

What do you need from me to get started?

A completed intake form - about 15 minutes of your time. We ask about your company, product, current buyers, competitors, and expansion priorities. The more context you give us, the sharper the report.
