Boards that never thought about geography now have standing agenda items about it. Where the chips are made, which straits the cargo passes through, whose grid the data centre sits on. That shift created a client base. Shipping lines, energy majors, manufacturers, insurers and funds all buy geographic risk analysis now, from firms that mostly did not exist a decade ago. Geostrategy is the correct word for that work and a more exact one than geopolitics, which has drifted toward commentary.

A marketplace of independent researchers is an interesting structure, and a network-named domain suits it precisely. That’s the reading the .net earns here rather than merely tolerating. Tech research is what analyst firms sell, what corporate strategy teams consume, and what investors pay large sums for. The phrase is short, plain and universally understood. Independence is the commercial angle. The established houses have obvious conflicts through their vendor relationships, and there’s genuine appetite among buyers for research uninfluenced by who pays for coverage.
