Market & competitor research
What are equipment manufacturers saying—and what does the evidence support?
This construction-equipment sample brings together product announcements, regional developments, and messaging themes. It separates what companies reported from interpretation and identifies what to watch next.
- Coverage
- August 11–September 14, 2026
18 signals across six companies - Deliverable
- A one-page brief with source links and explicit coverage limits
- Supporting work
- A structured signal dataset, available on request
Self-directed work based on public sources. Not commissioned or endorsed by the companies discussed. A dated research snapshot, not a live market feed.
Where I can help.
Focused research questions
Investigate a specific business question and get a concise account of what is known, what it may mean, and what remains uncertain.
Market monitoring
Define which developments matter and organize them into useful updates. Start with a sample cycle before deciding on an ongoing cadence.
Structured research data
Turn scattered public information into an inspectable dataset with source links, dates, and clearly marked gaps.
Start with one
useful question.
A first project can be small and specific. We agree on the question, the output, and what would make the work useful before research begins.
Share the question.
Tell me what you need to understand, who will use the findings, and your timing. We can establish whether there is a useful fit by email.
Agree a focused paid scope.
Define the deliverable, coverage, fee, timeline, and review expectations together.
Review the findings together.
Receive the work with its sources and limitations. Tell me what helped, what didn’t, and why. Any further work follows from a real need.
My approach: distinguish facts from interpretation, make uncertainty visible, and give you evidence you can inspect. I use AI-assisted research tools alongside source checking and take responsibility for the work I deliver.
The person
behind the work.
I’m Daniel Dueñas.
My background spans customer success, commercial insurance and risk, and building a long-term agricultural venture. Across those settings, my work has involved understanding complex information, setting clear expectations, and maintaining relationships over time.
I bring that perspective to independent research: understand the business question, examine the evidence, and make the findings useful to the person who needs them.
Fluent in English and Spanish.
What would you
like to understand?
Send me the question, how you expect to use the answer, and any deadline. If the sample prompted an idea—or a concern about its usefulness—I’d welcome that feedback too.
