TANNIX is an Opportunity Intelligence Service. Technology can help organize and analyze information, but the value is in the research plan, source evaluation, comparisons, interpretation, and human review that shape the final deliverable.
We clarify the idea, geography, customer, objectives, and the questions the research needs to address.
We consult relevant available sources, compare market participants, and record source dates and limitations where practical.
We distinguish sourced facts from estimates, assumptions, interpretations, and information that remains unknown.
We check important claims, calculations, consistency, risks, and report presentation before sending the work.
How AI is used: AI-assisted tools may support research organization, summarization, drafting, and analysis. They can make mistakes. TANNIX reviews work before delivery, but does not promise that every third-party fact can be independently confirmed or that errors are impossible. We do not sell an unreviewed AI output as a finished intelligence product.
DMT TANNIX is a founder-led business intelligence offering from DM Tanner LLC. It was built around a straightforward idea: important business decisions deserve more than a quick search or a generic automated answer. Customers should understand what was researched, what the evidence suggests, and where uncertainty remains.
Whether you're considering a new business, evaluating an expansion, researching a local market, or weighing an investment in an operating opportunity, the goal is the same: get a better understanding before committing resources.
We invite customers to share feedback after delivery so the research process and reporting standards can continue to improve. Any customer quote or testimonial will be shared publicly only with permission.
