The job today
Market Intelligence provides real insight for your pricing teams across the whole price book.
Key Features
Knowing you're fourth is the beginning. The work is knowing which regions carry you, what is putting you there, and what moves you — before you commit to a price.
Position
Rank, in every segment
Every supplier's total annual cost, ranked inside every identical segment — profile, band, term, region, consumption, renewal. Electricity and gas, ranked the same way.
Region
Top and bottom, at a glance
Your best three regions and your worst three, side by side — DNO by DNO on electricity, LDZ by LDZ on gas. Where you carry the book, and where you are nowhere near it.
Cause
Standing charge, or unit rate
Put two price files side by side and see the ten segments where the standing charge moved and the ten where the unit rate moved — in p/day and p/kWh, with the direction and the size. Position has a cause, and this names it.
Before you commit
Model the change
What-if runs a change across the whole market view and shows what it does to your rank and to your distance from the Top 3. Several scenarios at once, against the real market, not a sample.
Target
Goal-seek a position
Name the position you want and work back to the number that gets you there, segment by segment, with the adjustment recorded.
Competitors
Who is setting the benchmark
Segment by segment, the suppliers actually holding the Top 3 slots — and how often each of them is the one setting the door price you're measured against.
How it works
The weekly market file lands, everyone is made comparable, and every supplier is ranked inside every identical segment. What comes out is a rank and a distance.
01 — Ingest
Take the weekly file in
The market export is read and normalised to one shape — supplier, fuel, band, term, region, consumption and total annual cost. One messy weekly file in, one clean comparable grid out.
02 — Level
Make everyone comparable
About a third of suppliers quote without a band, so they would normally sit outside the comparison. Their band is worked out from consumption and flagged as projected — real data is never overwritten. The whole market ranks on a level field, not just the suppliers who publish a band.
03 — Rank
Rank inside every segment
A segment is profile, band, term, region, consumption and renewal — identical on every side. Inside it, every supplier's total annual cost is ranked cheapest first. That ranking is the product.
04 — Measure
Measure the gap
The distance to first, and the one that matters — the distance to third. The price sitting at rank 3 is held as its own figure, so the gap to the top three is a number, not a guess. Green in the top three, amber fourth to sixth, red below.
The mechanism in one line: the market only exists as a ranking. Your own price tells you nothing on its own. Ranked against everyone else's, inside an identical segment, it becomes a position — and a position has a distance you can price against.
The position map
One grid: every DNO down one side, every LLF band across the other, and in each cell your distance to the Top 3. Not a rank in a table — the whole book at once, coloured by how far you are from the door.
Read it in one pass. The dark cells are where you sit outside the Top 3 and the pale ones are where you're at or inside it. A column that goes dark tells you a band is the problem. A row that goes dark tells you a region is. And the cells that are almost pale are the ones worth pricing at — one point outside the door, in a segment you already quote.
The output
Everything above is for you. This part is for your brokers. Market Intelligence takes the segments where you rank first or hold a Top 3 slot and publishes them as a web page you send out — every week, in your name.
It is a sales document that writes itself from the market. Not a claim that you are competitive — the list of the segments where you demonstrably are, ranked against everyone else, refreshed the day the market moves. Your brokers get somewhere to send business. You get to stop arguing that you are worth quoting.
It turns "I think we're competitive" into "we're rank 1 in these segments, 4th in these, and six segments sit one point off the lead."
Market Intelligence · Position. Gap. Win.Not an average. A rank.
A market average hides the segments you lead and the segments you don't. The rank names both, one segment at a time.
The gap is a number
Not "close to the market" — the exact distance to the top three, in pounds and in percent, in every segment you quote.
It points at the upside
The segments sitting one price-point outside the top three are the winnable book. They only exist once something ranks them.
Bring a week of the market and your own book. We'll rank it, segment by segment, and show you the gap to the top three — and the segments you're one point away from winning.
