For senior leadership

The market is talking about your network.
You're seeing only a fraction.

Sighture reads your chain's network and your competitors' from the outside, using public information, and tells you in writing which units and markets are moving before your sales show it.

Five questions anyone running a large network ends up asking:

  • IWhich parts of my network are slipping before my sales show it?
  • IIIs my latest major investment changing what customers experience, compared with my competitors?
  • IIIWhere are my competitors beating me, judged by what their own customers experience, and in which markets?
  • IVHow much revenue am I leaving on the table, unit by unit, because of how customers experience me versus my competitors?
  • VWith a single operating manual, how many different experiences are customers actually getting, even when every audit says the units comply?

Your internal data answers part of each one. The part that settles it lies outside: your competitors, and what customers experience before it shows up in your sales.

What you receive: pages like the ones below, on two cities of your network, in one or two countries, chosen by us, one unit in each, with the evidence behind every finding. In writing, within five business days, at no cost and with no obligation. All we need is your brand name and the country. We choose the cities and the units, where the evidence is sufficient and comparable competitors exist, and tell you before we start. You review what we send and decide whether we go further, and how.

The twenty questions, on four fronts

Twenty questions anyone running a network asks, by front. We answer them from the outside, without asking for your company’s data or your team’s time.

I
Stay ahead
Which units are slipping before your dashboard shows it, and which signals are real and which are noise.
II
Beat the competition
Where your competitor beats you, unit by unit and city by city, judged by what both sets of customers experience.
III
Run operations
Whether your latest initiative moved anything, which franchisees and managers to review or recognize, and where your network competes with itself.
IV
Invest and grow
How much revenue goes uncaptured, where to open and where not to, and whether the problem is yours or your whole sector’s.

What we are not
What the work looks like

We don't tell you how we work. We show you the pages.

Excerpts from real report pages, with fictitious data. Your first look comes in pages like these. Different questions, same discipline: a claim, the evidence behind it, and nothing more.

“Is this a local problem, or is my model starting to crack?”

NETWORK READING · EXCERPT · UNIT BY UNIT

Your network is not a number.

Each square is a unit, as its customers describe it today.

  • at the level of the best · one in eight
  • middle band · one in three
  • below the cut-off · more than half

How to read it: the layout of the squares is arbitrary and does not show location. Below a certain level, customers rule a unit out before they choose.

Illustrative sample · fictitious data

What you see

More than half the units in one market sit below the point where customers rule them out, and one in eight performs at the level of the network's best.

What it means

That level is reachable with the same manual and the same customers. What separates the units isn't the market.

What the next step would answer

Which units they are, what the ones that work have in common, and in what order to tackle the rest.

What you see

Your unit ranks last of 12 on customer experience in its immediate surroundings; everything around it ranks higher.

What it means

If the problem were the neighborhood, the competitor most like you in format and price would be down there too. It isn't.

What the next step would answer

The real competitive set around each of your units, by name, and who is beating you in each one.

PULSE READING · EXCERPT

Every quarter, your network speaks again.

This quarter, one indicator turned.

Five quarterly updates. Each gray line is one indicator of your network, read from the outside; the gold one began to turn in the fourth update, and by the fifth the turn is clear, ahead of your internal reporting.

Illustrative sample · fictitious data

What you see

One indicator turned this quarter, before your internal reporting showed it.

What it means

Your latest decision shows up in how the market sees you, from one quarter to the next.

What the next step would answer

Which market moves first, and where to correct course while it's still cheap.

Which rung is your organization on?

How your organization listens to customers says more than what they say.

Pick the sentence that sounds most like your leadership team. There's no right answer, just a rung, and on each rung the same things tend to happen.

The fourth rung

It isn't a belief. It's an opening.

Reading what your customers, and your competitors' customers, put in writing; interpreting it; and turning it into intelligence for your operational, commercial, financial and talent decisions. It's what your internal data can't give you on its own. And it can be done.

How we do it

We read everything. Our models separate signal from noise. Every finding carries a confidence level. Someone who ran networks signs it.

One reading, four depths

One reading. You choose the depth.

Each depth includes the one before it. Start where you already know your question lives, and order several in a single engagement. Pulse comes afterwards: the regular re-reading.

I
Iceberg
When you don’t know where to start
“Where do I look first, and what does the market see that my reports don't?”
What you getWhere the problem is concentrated across your network, market by market: how big it is and which way it's heading.
II
Network
The foundation: units and likely cause
“Is this a local problem, or is my model starting to crack?”
What you getWhether it's isolated noise or a pattern already spreading across markets, with the units that show it and the most likely root cause.
III
Competitive
Includes Network
“Where am I losing ground to rivals without seeing it?”
What you getYour position against rivals, country by country, and the ground you're losing even while your own metrics look steady.
IV
Business Impact
Includes Competitive
“What is this costing me in missed opportunity, and is it worth acting now?”
What you getThe opportunity cost of how the market sees you: what it costs your business, and where first. Available in industries where the evidence supports it.
V
Pulse
Afterwards: the regular re-reading
“Are my decisions changing how the market sees me, and which market moves first?”
What you getA regular update on your network: how your decisions have changed the way the market sees you, from one update to the next, ahead of your internal reporting.

What never reaches your desk

By the time data reaches your desk, it isn't data anymore. It's a summary.

Every layer summarizes before passing information up, and the first things to go are the early signals and the local ones. Behind a stable network number, one market can be sliding while another makes up for it, and your internal reporting will catch it late.

What your customers, and your competitors' customers, say in public never goes through that filter. Anyone can look at it. What's rare is reading it from the outside, the vantage point your organization doesn't have, and claiming only what the evidence supports. That's what Sighture does, for the decisions that matter most:

Which unit to fix first
Where to open, and where not to
Whether your last investment moved anything
Which franchisee to review
Which manager to recognize
Where to go after your competitor
What to take to the board
What to know before you buy or sell

We tell you what's happening, how big it is, where we'd start, and how sure we are.

Before an acquisition or a merger

Before you acquire or merge, the market has already sized up that business.

If you're selling, you bring an independent argument to the table. If you're buying, you see the target network the way its customers experience it, and you negotiate with evidence the other side didn't prepare. It complements due diligence; it doesn't replace it.

Our discipline

Discretion is part of the service: no clients or identifiable cases appear on this site, and if you work with Sighture, your name will never appear either. That is why what we show are illustrative pages with fictional data.

We bring you the evidence. The decision cannot be delegated.

Promising more is easy. We compete on something scarcer: analysis you can trust enough to act on. That trust is built as much by what we do as by what we deliberately don't do. We claim only what the evidence supports, and we say so when it falls short. We show you where to look, and in what order; we never hand you a verdict dressed up as fact. That's what holds up when someone in the boardroom asks: how do you know?

Who signs every analysis: someone with more than thirty years running multinational consumer networks across Latin America and Europe, on the side that makes the decisions. See the track record →

The next step

See your network the way the market already does.

A first look at your network: one real signal, in two cities of your network, chosen by us, one unit in each, with the evidence behind it.
