Political Risk Analysis

Hxagon offers risk assessments based on shifting geopolitics, local country dynamics, regulations, and more. Deliverables can range from single-product research projects on market-specific characteristics to weekly updates to months-long deep-dive projects on the client’s country or sector of choice. We build network-analysis maps and key stakeholder maps of individuals, businesses, and interest groups that are influencing key policymakers.
