Michael is ready for their next project!
I conduct market and competitive research for businesses, founders, investors, and organizations facing important decisions. I combine market data, competitor research, pricing, public records, industry sources, and other credible information to identify opportunities, risks, and meaningful patterns. Rather than simply compiling information, I evaluate what the findings mean and turn them into a concise, decision-ready research brief with clear takeaways and recommended next steps.

I conduct in-depth public records and investigative research to uncover the facts behind properties, businesses, organizations, regulations, and complex questions. My process combines government records, FOIA requests, property and corporate filings, permits, meeting documents, and other credible sources to build a verified picture of what happened, who is involved, and why it matters. I cross-check findings, identify relationships and patterns, and turn scattered information into clear, actionable intelligence.

I developed a regulatory intelligence and early-warning research framework to identify government, policy, and regulatory developments before they become business risks. The work combines legislative monitoring, public-records research, government agendas and minutes, regulatory activity, and media analysis to identify emerging issues, assess their significance and impact, and turn complex information into clear, actionable intelligence for decision-makers.

A three-year evidence review of New York City’s Local Law 18 and its impact on short-term rentals, housing, hotels, local businesses, and homeowners. I researched and synthesized government data, peer-reviewed studies, academic research, market data, and industry sources, weighing each source by evidentiary strength. The final report separates established findings from emerging evidence and unsupported causal claims, translating complex research into clear, decision-ready insights.
