The firm

Strategic intelligence, made accessible.

Blackformance is the strategic intelligence brand of the Yan Haltey Brands group. Our craft: producing the most complete decision base possible.

Before it was an offer, Blackformance was a habit.

For years, we've run extensive research for ourselves, continuously: understanding a market, putting an idea to the test, building our forecasts.

From producing these analyses for our own decisions, we made it a craft: the same level of rigor, now at the service of your decisions.

From repeating them, we sharpened our methods and tools to move fast: the time we save on research, you gain on the decision.

Before Blackformance even existed, this standard already did: years of experience on high-stakes strategic dossiers.

Our method

From question to verdict, in three steps.

You arrive with a stake, you leave with a defensible verdict. Between the two, the same method, whatever the question.

Question

You hand us the decision to clarify: invest, launch, position yourself, or secure a choice.

Deliverable

We produce the dossier that answers it, structured and argued, every claim linked to its source.

Decision

You decide with confidence: an actionable verdict, Go / No-Go, a position to take, priorities for the months ahead.

Anchored

Expert in the Swiss market, an international outlook.

French-speaking Switzerland

Our home turf: the Swiss economic, institutional and cultural fabric, and its local sources.

International outlook

We go abroad for information when the mission calls for it, to compare what works elsewhere.

We correspond and deliver in French, German and English.

Let's work together.

A decision to clarify, a market question, a project to secure?
