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

Sector crowding versus capital share across benchmark sectors.
Funding Cycle Turning Points

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.
