Our Services

At the core of Proximity Intelligence is a simple thesis: political intelligence drives business intelligence.

Proximity Intelligence is the industry leader in large-scale vetting and research programs. Our proprietary process combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with industry-leading public records, data aggregation, and expert human analysis to deliver research that is both exhaustive and highly scalable. The result is elite intelligence production capable of operating at volumes most firms cannot support, while maintaining precision, context, and reliability.

All research conducted by Proximity Intelligence is overseen by Evan Franco, a veteran research professional with more than twenty years of experience in high-stakes political, regulatory, and public-interest intelligence. Franco is widely regarded for his methodological rigor, strategic insight, and ability to translate complex research into actionable decision-making tools for clients operating in dynamic and often opaque environments.

What truly differentiates Proximity Intelligence is our ability to produce insight at scale. Our systems are designed to vet hundreds or thousands of individuals, entities, or stakeholders simultaneously, delivering consistent and structured intelligence across an entire market or ecosystem. This enables clients to identify patterns, motivations, and risks that are invisible through isolated or ad hoc research efforts.

At the same time, Proximity Intelligence maintains deep expertise in intensive, high-touch research engagements. We routinely conduct deeper investigations involving complex policy environments, high-profile vetting, donor and stakeholder analysis, and other sensitive or high-impact matters. These projects leverage the same advanced infrastructure, paired with expanded analytical depth and direct senior oversight.

Decisions that affect markets, industries, and communities are shaped by individuals operating within public systems, regulatory frameworks, and influence networks. Businesses that understand these environments gain a strategic advantage.

To meet this need, Proximity Intelligence offers tailored research programs designed specifically for businesses and organizations seeking to better understand the decision-making landscape in their local and regional markets. These offerings provide insight into the people, incentives, relationships, and pressures shaping outcomes that matter to operations, growth, and risk management. Our clients do not just receive data. They gain clarity into how their markets function and who influences them.

Proximity Intelligence exists to help organizations see their environment as it truly is, at scale, with precision, and with confidence.
