work
Black Box workflow is research and analyzing data. To develop the tool, I have looked at financial instruments for investment and hedging combined with Game Theories.
BID
Successful bidding and winning sports rights. An informed overview of the full environment and understanding the competition maximizes chances to be successful in an ITT. Black Box visualises optimal windows during which a strategic advantage exists over competitors. The Black Box tool can be applied for selling rights to maximize value or buying rights at the best price.

Rights change hands and our job is to make sure we sustain or grow the value for our client’s consumers.
