Firms and Filters Added to RAIDAR Real-Time Rankings

As of today, you can filter MrWeb's recently-launched real-time ranking of top companies providing MR, insights, data and analytics activities, to include just one type (eg Full Service) or one headquarters country. Another ten firms have been assessed and added, making it a top 40.

Launched just before Christmas as a top 30 (by revenue), RAIDAR (Real-time Analytics, Insight and Data Activity Rankings) differs from other industry rankings in that instead of publishing it once a year, we'll be updating it every day based on yesterday's DRNO stories and other company data; show our workings; include companies never before considered; and allow sorting by a long list of criteria. Please note that like any other top companies ranking, it's compiled on a 'best efforts' basis and contains estimates and some outright guesses. However, we believe it's the most comprehensive, open, up-to-date and flexible ranking ever seen in the sector.

DRNO data for Q4 of 2022 is being incorporated in the coming fortnight. In February we'll add January's and come up-to-date, at which point RAIDAR will be functioning as-described, ie as close to 'real-time' as it's currently practical for us to offer it.

This week's upgrade means users can filter results to include only those companies with their headquarters in one country (eg USA, where 30 of the 40 at present are based); and/or select just one type of company. The latter includes full service providers; 'other insight-focused firms' such as MR software providers, CX and data specialists, operations specialists (once any make it in) and so on; and 'Divisions', ie those companies who provide a wide range of products and services, only part of which qualifies for RAIDAR and where we've done our best to separate out revenue, employees etc. associated with qualifying functions. The last includes the big management consultancies as well as software groups like Salesforce and Adobe; publishers and analysts like Informa Group; pharma info groups much of whose work revolves around clinical trials (eg IQVIA - which nevertheless still tops our revenue list after these are excluded); and data companies like Experian whose consumer ratings and other offerings are deemed outside the scope of RAIDAR.

The ten just added are American Institutes for Research, Booz Allen Hamilton, Contentsquare, Dunnhumby, Informa Group, J.D. Power, Meltwater Group, Momentive, RAND Corporation and Zeta Global.

Watch out for further additions of companies: we hope to have 50 or 60 in it by the end of Q1 2023. Please send comments and suggestions to raidar@mrweb.com , either on the service as a whole or on particular figures: if you know something's wrong or just think you have a better source / estimate we'd love to hear from you. If you're a b2b research firm and would like to chip in regularly, ie contribute to the compilation of the rankings, get in touch. Ditto if you'd like to sponsor RAIDAR, from £600 / $800 a month.
