The Market Gap
World-class strategy was reserved for the Fortune 500.
McKinsey costs €150K–€500K and takes 3-6 months. That pricing was designed to be unaffordable for growing businesses.
The alternative—fragmented freelancers, generic AI tools, scaled-down boutique reports—provides neither rigour nor accountability.
Tensor Advisory closes this gap. Not by cutting corners, but by rearchitecting how analytical work is produced.
| Provider | Cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| McKinsey / BCG / Bain | €150K–€500K | 6–12 weeks |
| Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC) | €80K–€150K | 8–16 weeks |
| Tensor Advisory | €5K–€20K | 2–4 weeks |
Comparable analytical depth. Full methodology included. No black boxes.
How It Works
How We Produce Intelligence
Every question is analysed through multiple independent frameworks. Competing methodologies produce findings that are cross-validated, stress-tested by human experts, and delivered with full source transparency.
Competing Methodologies
Every question is analysed through multiple independent frameworks. Different analytical approaches compete to produce the most accurate finding. Only conclusions validated across methods make the final report.
Human Expert Validation
Every output is reviewed and stress-tested by analysts with on-the-ground India experience. No finding ships without human sign-off. Divergent views are surfaced, not hidden.
Full Source Transparency
Every data point traces back to a verifiable source: government databases, industry associations, regulatory filings, trade statistics. You can audit every claim.

First Focus — 2025/2026
The EU-India Free Trade Agreement Is the Biggest Trade Opportunity of the Decade.
The FTA is entering final ratification. European manufacturers are racing to establish presence before the window closes. Companies that set up before ratification capture the value. Everyone else is already late.
Tensor Advisory specialises in this exact corridor. We provide intelligence tailored to the shifting regulatory mechanics between Europe and India. This is not research conducted at a distance.
