Pull up a stool
Every business stands on three legs.
A three-legged stool never wobbles on uneven ground, because three points always make a flat plane. It only tips when one leg is short.
Most businesses are strong on two legs and quietly short on the third: systems that run the work, people who can do the job, or a clear view of who they serve. Find the short one first.
Which leg is short in your business?
Slide each bar to match how your business is doing today. Watch the stool tilt.
Inference The three legs are our way of seeing a business, built from the owners we work with. Each is backed by research, and we keep testing the model with every client.

Four lenses on the youth market.
Pick the lens that matches the decision in front of you. Most briefs use one or two.
What you receive.
- A plain English brief: the question, what we found, how sure we are, and what to do next.
- Every claim labelled Verified Fact, Inference, Assumption or Uncertain.
- The sources and the method behind each number, open to you.
- The limits stated: who the findings do and do not represent.
- If you want to keep watching a market: a monthly brief on the lens you choose.
- The Thursday brief: market signals and new research, every week.

Sample briefA sample brief, built only from public sources you can check.
Tap to read the sample brief.
This is the format you would receive. It uses public data from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics and the World Bank, so you can verify every number yourself.
Question: where does young Uganda keep and move money?
Verified Fact
29.1% of households are headed by someone aged 18 to 30 (2024 census), and 23.5% of Ugandans are in that age group.
Source: Uganda Bureau of Statistics, National Population and Housing Census 2024, 2024. Checked by hand 15 October 2026.
Inference
Young people are not only future customers. They run households and decide what to buy today, and the habits they form now, such as mobile money and WhatsApp, will stay.
Verified Fact
67% of 15 to 24 year olds hold an account, against 73% of all adults (2024).
Source: World Bank, Global Findex, 2024. Checked by hand 15 October 2026.
Inference
The gap is small, so account ownership alone does not explain how young people handle money. This figure counts ownership, not how the account is used.
Verified Fact
There are 83 mobile subscriptions for every 100 people (2024).
Source: World Bank, International Telecommunication Union, 2024. Checked by hand 15 October 2026.
Uncertain
Subscriptions are not people. Many people hold more than one SIM card, so this overstates how many individuals you can reach by phone.
Verified Fact
44% of adults saved through a savings club or someone outside the family, against 13.4% at a bank (2024).
Source: World Bank, Global Findex, 2024. Live from the source.
Inference
Saving happens in groups first. A product that fits how groups already save has a head start over one that asks people to behave like bank customers.
Uncertain
The 2024 census puts unemployment for ages 15 to 24 at 16.7% and puts 50.9% of ages 18 to 30 outside work, education and training. Modelled international estimates say 4.2% unemployment (2025) and 13.8% not in work, education or training for ages 15 to 24 (2021). The measures count different things, so one youth headline should not carry a decision on its own.

9 questions. Tap to open.
Why should we trust a young research arm?
Fair question. We have not published our first study yet. That is why every claim is labelled, every method is open to you, and the sample brief on this page uses only public sources you can check yourself.
How big are your samples?
Every brief states its sample, how it was reached and its limits. If a question cannot be answered with enough evidence, we say so before you pay.
Do the findings represent all of Uganda?
Only if the design says so. Every brief states who it represents and who it does not.
What does it cost?
It is quoted for each question, after we scope it. You see the price before any work starts.
Can I see the method?
Yes. The sources and method behind each number are open to you.
What if you cannot answer my question?
We tell you plainly, before you pay, and say what evidence would be needed.
Can I see a demo first?
Yes. Mention it in your request and we will arrange one at no cost.
Do you work with clients outside Uganda?
Yes. We are based in Kampala and serve clients across Africa and internationally who want to understand or reach African markets and talent.
Can you analyse our own data?
Yes. We do analytics and predictions on a business’s own data. It is described on the Autonomous Operating Systems page.
