Suzanne R.
Fleming Island, Florida
I help founders, consultants, and investors turn public data into business decisions. Whether you’re validating a new market, mapping competitors, or building a go-to-market plan, I deliver research that’s fully sourced, structured, and decision-ready.
What I Deliver
Market & Opportunity Sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM) – Bottom-up and top-down sizing with assumptions, data sources, and ready-to-use models.
Competitive Intelligence – Who’s in your space, what they charge, how they position themselves, and where gaps or advantages exist.
Customer & Lead Mapping – Identify high-potential accounts or buyer segments using open-source data, industry lists, and enrichment tools.
Go-to-Market Insights – Targeting and channel recommendations to support launch or expansion strategy.
Regulatory & Compliance Research – Extracting structured data from filings, public registries, and government databases for internal or investor use.
Ideal Clients
B2B and B2C startups validating product-market fit or preparing investor materials
Companies entering new markets or verticals
Firms that need data-driven clarity for planning, growth, or compliance
I work independently and produce clean deliverables — spreadsheets, summaries, and visuals with clear sourcing.
Share your goals or documents, and I’ll outline a practical scope, timeline, and fixed-fee structure.

The CoreDataSet Performance Visibility System helps franchisors and multi-location business owners transform scattered reports into a Strategic Command Center - so they can lead with clarity, compare performance across locations, and scale with confidence.
If you're managing growth across multiple units, you're likely dealing with:
- Conflicting KPIs across departments and locations
- Hours wasted manually updating spreadsheets
- Uncertainty around what's actually working
- Delayed decisions due to unclear or outdated insights
- No standardized definitions of performance metrics
- Franchisees and teams operating from separate playbooks
You don’t have a data problem.
You have a 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 problem.
