The roots of Outlook Analysis Corporation (OAC) trace back to 1971 when several men and women in Silicon Valley shared a passion to research and develop an information discovery technology that few believed possible. These pioneers came from a variety of scientific, technical, and non-technical backgrounds. None of them had any affiliation with law enforcement or government agencies.

Years of research and development were required to develop the technology that enabled them to obtain information on almost anything anywhere in the world. While the results were exciting, the technology did not produce information with appreciable detail to allow the technology to be commercialized. Achieving the next plateau in advancing the technology's in-depth information discovery capabilities proved difficult. Almost ten years of research and development passed before significant advancements were achieved. During these development years, the core research team stuck together, driven by their passion to make the technology produce highly accurate results that many people still do not believe possible.

Several “Eureka!” advancements came in the early 1990s when our research group advanced the technology's analytical tools to a level far surpassing traditional in-depth business intelligence and due diligence. During these years, our researchers evolved into analysts to convert and interpret incoming information, facts and data into accurate, useful reports for clients to take action. OAC analysts have completed more than 8,800 information discovery and due-diligence assignments in over 88 prime industries and sub-industries.

To achieve maximum utility, the analytical tools were developed to be question-specific rather than industry-specific. Consequently, OAC projects comprise specific detailed answers to questions of both macro and micro design, and varied focus and emphasis. Analysts process these questions using proprietary analytical tools. The results are the accurate detailed information that clients need. Because the intellectual property underlying the technology cannot be patented, OAC does not disclose the details of its technology.

During the early years, Faries & Associates was the home of the proprietary technology and handled all assignments. NeuralTech Business Information, Inc. was formed in 1999 to offer services using the latest developed analytical tools. Additional and expanded technology developments enabled our analysts to produce outlook analysis for clients in addition to information discovery. The outlook analysis capabilities led to the formation of Outlook Analysis Corporation in 2004, a sibling corporation that offers both information discovery and outlook analysis worldwide.

Today OAC remains dedicated to supplying its clients with valuable, accurate information discovery and analysis on companies, individuals, and situations on almost any subject anywhere in the world. OAC currently services assignments in seven categories: individual companies, competitive intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, product analysis, individual due-diligence, business security, and negotiations of all types. The recent scandals in corporations around the world have proliferated to the point where corporate governance is becoming an eighth category.

Procedure for OAC Assignments

When a client requests OAC to perform an assignment, it is reviewed before acceptance. When an assignment is approved, an analyst team is selected with a senior analyst to work directly with the client to develop and define the specific questions needed to produce the accurate and timely information discovery and outlook analysis desired. During the course of the assignment, clients often add questions to obtain even more specific information.

Assignments are often completed within seventy-two hours. Information is current to the time when the project commences and can be updated every twenty-four hours.

All OAC assignments and related information are kept strictly confidential. Since all information is generated within OAC, all of OAC’s work is virtually undetectable. Payment is made when the project report is delivered.
