The 6D Foraging Methodology™ traces how a single business event propagates across six dimensions simultaneously — revealing what individual reporting misses and what strategy teams need to act on.
In February 2025, a five-minute Anthropic blog post erased $28 billion from IBM, Accenture, and Cognizant. The news cycle covered the AI announcement. What it missed: 60 years of accumulated complexity being repriced in real time — propagating simultaneously through customer contracts, employee positioning, revenue architecture, regulatory surface area, service quality assumptions, and operational dependencies.
In December 2025, four major entertainment studios began restructuring simultaneously. Individual merger reviews passed their respective regulators. No single body was tracking the aggregate: $82.7 billion in deals, 17,000 jobs cut, and a sector-wide consolidation that every dimension of the industry was absorbing at once.
This is the gap that 6D Intelligence fills. Not faster news. Not more data. A structured framework for tracing how an event moves through an organization or sector — all six dimensions, scored and sequenced — so that strategy teams, analysts, and editors see the full cascade, not just the trigger.
"The individual events fall below any single threshold — which is precisely why the aggregate view matters."

The 6D Foraging Methodology™ maps how disruption propagates across six interconnected dimensions. Each dimension is scored independently. The cascade chain reveals sequence, severity, and downstream exposure — identifying the origin dimension, first-order effects (L1), and second-order consequences (L2).
How the event reshapes the customer relationship — contracts, switching behavior, expectations, and perceived value.
Workforce dynamics — talent retention, capability gaps, institutional knowledge drain, and cultural shift.
Financial architecture impact — pricing models, recurring revenue, margin compression, and investor signals.
Government, compliance, and oversight dynamics — existing mandates, new scrutiny, and enforcement uncertainty.
Product, content, or service quality implications — creative contraction, technical debt, and output degradation.
Infrastructure and process resilience — reorgs, system dependencies, integration complexity, and parallel risk.
Nine published analyses spanning sports, enterprise technology, telecommunications, government policy, SaaS, and entertainment. Every case traces a real event to its full cascade — sourced, scored, and published within days of the trigger.
A five-minute blog post erased $28B from IBM, Accenture, and Cognizant — exposing how AI reprices decades of accumulated complexity in a single session.
View analysis →AI agents don't need seats — and ~$1T in enterprise software market cap is built on an assumption that's quietly breaking.
View analysis →$82.7B merger, 17,000+ jobs cut, four studios restructuring simultaneously — the first full 6/6 cascade in the library.
View analysis →A merger announcement, earnings surprise, AI disruption, policy shift, or sector-wide signal is identified as a cascade candidate — proactively or by request.
Each of the six dimensions is assessed for activation, scored for severity, and sequenced into a cascade chain with sourced evidence and FETCH scoring.
Structured output delivered as a case analysis — cascade-chained, scored, and source-cited. Formatted to your specification or published to the library.
⏱ Typical turnaround: 24–72 hours for standard engagements. Same-day output available for time-sensitive situations.
Three formats depending on what you need — from a single on-demand analysis to ongoing sector coverage or custom-scoped deliverables.
| Format | What It Is | Best For | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-Demand Analysis Single Engagement | Request a specific event, announcement, or sector disruption for a full 6D cascade analysis | Strategy teams, PE/VC diligence, editorial desks | Full case analysis — scored, sourced, cascade-chained |
| Sector Monitor Ongoing Coverage | Ongoing 6D coverage of a defined sector or theme — analysis triggered when significant events occur | Trade publications, industry associations, sector-focused funds | Series of case analyses with cross-case pattern synthesis |
| Custom Scope Defined Brief | A specific brief with defined event, output format, and turnaround — for licensing or internal strategy use | Law firms, corporate strategy teams, white-label research | Formatted to specification; licensing available |
6D Intelligence adds the most value where individual event analysis is insufficient and sector-wide pattern recognition is the competitive edge.
Pre-read a sector before a client engagement. Understand the cascade before the conversation — not after the briefing.
Map sector disruption signals before investment committee. Identify which dimensions of a target company are already under cascade pressure.
License a structured "6D View" column or analysis series. Offer readers the pattern behind the news, not just the headline.
Map the regulatory dimension of a pending merger or policy shift — and the five dimensions it will activate downstream.
No pitch deck. A brief exchange about what you're tracking and whether the 6D view adds something useful.
