Report Types (Simple Explanation)

There are three report layers. Use the simplest layer that answers your question, then go deeper only if needed.

  • Core reports (14 pages): best starting point for orientation and narrative context.
  • Aggregate families: raw Mongo groupings such as country-industry, country-sector-status, and investor-country-market for thousands of high-intent combinations.
  • Matrix reports (704 URLs): country x sector x year pages for practical strategy slices.
  • Hypercube reports: very large scenario space (millions of combinations) when you need investor-type, market-focus, activity, and quality tiers.

If you want a fast workflow: Global Landscape -> Matrix -> Hypercube (if needed).

Issue-Led Evergreen Reports

These newer core pages are built around specific reader questions rather than generic taxonomy. They are the strongest candidates for “green” SEO because each page has a clear search intent and a useful interpretation layer.

New Aggregate Families

These new families are built from direct raw-data grouping, not thin permutations. They are the main path to scaling into hundreds and thousands of relevant pages without losing meaning.

Country Industry Reports

Country + industry family with direct company grouping and industry-level benchmark logic.

FAQ

Are these pages short snippets?

No. Each report URL renders a long-form page with multiple charts, interpretation, and methodology notes.

What is the difference between matrix and hypercube?

Matrix uses 3 dimensions (country, sector, year). Hypercube adds more filters (status, investor type, market focus, activity, quality) for higher-precision scenario views.

How do I build a very specific report?

Use the hypercube builder at /data/insights/report/hypercube/ to generate a deep URL in one click.

Do charts include the FasterCapital watermark?

Yes. If /data/insights/assets/watermark.png exists, it is used; otherwise a text watermark is rendered. The FasterCapital logo is also overlaid on charts.
