Which one you need
The products differ by how far along the decision is, not by how much research gets done. Pick the sentence that sounds like your company right now.
Market Snapshot
“Should we investigate this market further?”
Expansion Blueprint
“We are seriously considering this market and need a plan.”
Expansion Sprint
“We want to enter the market, not just research it.”
How an engagement runs
The same four steps whichever product you take — a Sprint just keeps cycling through the last two.
01
A conversation first
There is no online checkout. Every engagement starts with a short conversation about the market, the product and the decision you're actually trying to make — which is also how the right product gets chosen, rather than the biggest one.
02
Scan, then cross-check
First-pass scans and structured data pulls move fast and get cross-checked across sources. Where the data genuinely isn't there, that gap gets named rather than filled with a plausible-looking number.
03
Judgment over the top
The part that doesn't scale: which signals actually matter for this market, this company and this timing, and what's missing that needs a phone call instead of a query. Every product is delivered directly by Marijn.
04
A read-out, not a handover
The output comes with a live session — a 45-minute findings call on a Snapshot, a 60-minute working session on a Blueprint, weekly sessions through a Sprint — because the questions that decide things tend to arrive after the reading.
Fast research, slow judgment
These products are priced the way they are because AI genuinely collapses the scanning work. It does not collapse the deciding. Here is the split, so you can judge the research on it.
What AI accelerates
- — First-pass market scans — regulatory basics, logistics, competitive landscape
- — Structured data pulled and cross-checked across sources
- — Draft analysis, ready for review in hours, not weeks
What judgment decides
- — Which signals actually matter for this market, this company, this timing
- — What's missing from the data, and where that needs a phone call instead of a query
- — The call on whether to move, and how
What these are not
- Not a generic industry report. Every product ends in a specific recommendation for your business, plus the assumptions it rests on — a decision tool meant to be tested against reality, not filed away.
- Not a guarantee of an answer you'll like. “Not this market, or not yet” is a legitimate outcome, and the cheapest version of that discovery you're going to get.
- Not legal, tax or regulated professional advice. Borderless does not provide formal legal, tax or regulated professional advice unless a qualified third-party specialist is explicitly involved.
What usually happens next
Research is where an expansion starts, not where it has to end. Each of these picks up from a finished recommendation.
Market Entry & GTM
Turn a market decision into a concrete go-to-market plan, with a first 90 days you can actually execute.
GTM
Go-to-market design for a specific market, product and customer — not a generic playbook.
Partnerships
Identify, prioritize and stand up the partnerships that actually move distribution.
Expansion Execution
For companies that need someone to help execute the launch, not just plan it.
Expansion Workshops
Train the team that has to run the expansion — the external and internal factors, and the cultural reading that decides how it lands.
Questions this page gets asked
- How do I choose between the three?
- By which sentence sounds like you. “Should we investigate this market further?” is a Market Snapshot. “We’re seriously considering this market and need a plan” is an Expansion Blueprint. “We want to enter the market, not just research it” is an Expansion Sprint.
- Can I just buy one online?
- No. These are high-consideration engagements, so there is no checkout — every one starts with a short conversation about what you actually need, and that conversation is also where the scope gets set.
- What do I actually receive?
- A Market Snapshot ends in a concise written output and a 45-minute findings call. An Expansion Blueprint adds a strategy presentation and a 60-minute working session. An Expansion Sprint runs as ongoing work with weekly working sessions and execution support rather than a single deliverable.
- Who does the work?
- Marijn, directly. Research is AI-accelerated — first-pass scans, structured data pulls and draft analysis — but the call on what matters and what to do about it is an operator's, and there is no automated intake.
- What if the honest answer is “don’t enter”?
- Then that’s the recommendation. Every product ends in a specific recommendation plus the assumptions it rests on, and “not this market, or not yet” is a legitimate and useful outcome — it’s the cheapest version of that discovery you will get.
- Is this legal, tax or regulated advice?
- No. Borderless does not provide formal legal, tax or regulated professional advice unless a qualified third-party specialist is explicitly involved. Regulatory conditions are assessed as a market factor, not as professional advice on compliance.
How this becomes an automated research engine
Longer term, Borderless is building toward a structured expansion-research engine — combining public data, competitive intelligence and AI-assisted analysis with operator judgment. Today, every research product is delivered directly by Marijn; there is no automated intake yet. If you're curious about the roadmap, ask when you get in touch.
