The client
A 25-person industry research institute in China’s Yangtze River Delta plays an outsized role in national aviation programs, contributing to the power systems of the C919 and C929 passenger jets. Despite its lean size, the institute is structured like a much larger organization, with dedicated teams for management, marketing, R&D, finance, and communications.
The Challenge
Each department was struggling with heavy information demands:
- Executives needed to keep pace with shifting national and local industrial policies.
- Marketing had to stay alert to competitors and uncover new business leads.
- R&D teams needed constant access to the latest global research.
- Communications staff had to turn sprawling information into sharp, professional narratives.
Manual collection by part-time staff could not keep up. Coverage was patchy, quality uneven, and insights were siloed across departments. Without a shared fact base, collaboration often stalled.
Our Solution
SourceIntel replaced ad hoc efforts with a streamlined, automated intelligence pipeline:
- Our Source Specialist worked closely with the institute to define critical sources and set tailored screening criteria.
- Our proprietary system automatically harvested, filtered, and ranked information, with AI-enhanced prompts surfacing the most relevant signals.
- Weekly IntelDigest delivered structured updates—organized by policy, industry, and academia – straight to every employee’s inbox.
The results
Intelligence gathering and sharing are now seamless and automated. Teams can draw tailored insights from the same briefing while gaining visibility into each other’s priorities. What was once scattered manual work has been transformed into a single, trusted flow of intelligence—driving alignment, sharper decisions, and faster collaboration across the institute.
