Most frontier technology analysis tracks capabilities, not customers. Funding, not fundamentals. Narrative, not numbers.
We do the opposite.
CounterFlow Solutions helps investors and operators cut through frontier tech hype to answer the questions that actually determine outcomes:
We specialize in the space economy, advanced mobility, dual-use technologies, and infrastructure markets where mission logic and commercial reality intersect — and where confusion between the two destroys value.
We focus on revenue-first, decision-first, and with zero tolerance for hand-waving.

Book NowThis is the fastest way to get clarity on a complex frontier market or technology decision.
This is not a sales call. It’s a working session designed to deliver quick, decision-focused insight.
Typically $10k–$15k, depending on scope
Discuss ScopeWhen a single strategic issue is blocking progress, this engagement is designed to answer it clearly and quickly.
This is not a broad market study or exploratory research project. It is a tightly scoped sprint focused on a core issue that materially affects strategy, investment, or go-to-market direction. It is designed to resolve uncertainty — not to catalog possibilities.
We explicitly scope this work around a core, primary issue, such as:
If the issue cannot be effectively addressed within this scope, we will recommend a deeper Strategy or Diligence Sprint rather than expanding this engagement.
This is our most common next step after a Strategy Call
Engagements are scoped and priced based on decision criticality, complexity, and depth of analysis.
Discrete assessments often begin in the ~$30k–$50k range, with expanded or multi-phase work scoped separately.
Request Scoping CallFor situations where missions, capabilities, and markets are being conflated — and where clarity determines whether capital is allocated correctly or burned pursuing narratives that ultimately won’t fund.
We focus on decision-relevant insight, not exhaustive documentation. The goal is to reduce uncertainty where it actually changes outcomes.
These engagements are structured around decision-relevant insight and senior judgment, not exhaustive documentation or junior-heavy analysis.
Typically $10k–$20k/month; select cases start at $5k/month
Contact UsFor clients navigating extended strategic inflection points where decisions compound and timing matters—fundraising cycles, market entry with sequential learning, regulatory positioning, or M&A processes where the landscape shifts as you move.
Retainers provide continuous strategic support, real-time course correction, and the ability to pressure-test assumptions as they evolve rather than waiting for formal engagement milestones.
Retainers are reserved for situations where ongoing engagement clearly creates leverage and are not intended as a starting point.
Our analytical approach to frontier markets, particularly in the space economy, has informed decision-making across the sector:
