How it works

A week with Market-Entry Strategist.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Start01

    Scope agreed

    It restates the question and the sources it will use before it starts.

  2. During02

    Evidence gathered

    Every claim linked to its source; confidence shown per section.

  3. When ready03

    Brief in Approvals

    Structured, consistent, with ranked hypotheses rather than certainties.

  4. After04

    Revisions

    Send it back with notes; it revises and shows what changed.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Market-Entry Strategist reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Produce the brief

A bounded research task with a deadline and a defined format.

Diagnostic

Why did the last launch underperform?

Ranked causes with the evidence from your own data.

Strategy

Should we enter this market?

A readiness assessment with risks, barriers and a recommendation.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Market-Entry Strategist connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Sources

    • PDF and Word documents
    • Excel and CSV
    • Web links and news feeds
  • Workspaces

    • Google Workspace
    • Microsoft 365
    • Notion
    • Slack
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
Control

You manage. Market-Entry Strategist executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

How do I know a claim in the brief is true?

Every claim links to its source and every section shows its confidence. Unsupported claims are marked as such rather than stated as fact.

What can the Market-Entry Strategist Digital FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Market-Entry Strategist proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.
