METHODOLOGY
Independent1’s reports are developed through a combination of industry insights, statistical data, and simulated forecasts. To ensure the highest reliability, we leverage source information from banks, statistical institutes, and reputable providers such as Trading Economics.
Following simulation, we challenge the findings through cross-functional validation, comparing multiple AI models against the same data set—our so-called “kill your darling” methodology. Since Large Language Models (LLMs) possess distinct characteristics depending on their training, we explicitly highlight when conclusions diverge. This ensures that the recipient is aware of how different input data may lead to varying outcomes.
OUTCOMES
Independent1 does not primarily aim to deliver opinions in assignments unless explicitly requested. Instead, as an independent actor, we can objectively highlight insights that may be widely acknowledged internally but that no one within the organization is prepared to put their name to.
We act as a strategic advisor to stakeholders considering establishment or investment in the Swedish and Norwegian warranty markets. By clarifying local deviations in business culture, regulatory frameworks, and IT maturity, we support our clients with insights that help avoid unnecessary costs and prevent time-consuming missteps, enabling them to reallocate resources more efficiently and accelerate their market entry. This ensures not only cost savings but also significant time advantages, positioning them at the forefront of the market.
