About Standwick
An independent business intelligence institution focused on detecting and interpreting the silent risks that precede organisational failure.
What We Do
Most business failures are not sudden. They are the endpoint of slow, quiet deteriorations that went unnoticed — retention decay that looked like a seasonal dip, revenue leakage masked by top-line growth, pricing pressure dismissed as competitive noise, operational bottlenecks rationalised as growing pains.
Standwick exists to surface these risks before they compound into failure. We combine structured risk monitoring with institutional research to give operators and founders a clear view of the vulnerabilities they cannot yet see.
Our Monitor system analyses specific business weak points across five domains — revenue leakage, retention decay, pricing pressure, growth instability, and operational bottlenecks — producing scored risk reports with root cause hypotheses and actionable fixes. For those who need continuous vigilance, Standwick Pro tracks selected risk domains and alerts you when conditions worsen.
We are the institution that defined Silent Risk as a distinct category of business threat — and built the detection engine to expose it.
We tested the engine against five major IPOs — Blue Apron, Casper, Robinhood, Slack, and Zoom — using only their pre-IPO public filings. The results are public and verifiable. Read the full backtest →
Our Mission
To make silent risk visible. We believe that the difference between a company that survives and one that fails is rarely talent or capital — it is the willingness to look at what is quietly going wrong and act before the evidence becomes undeniable. Standwick provides the instruments for that looking.
Our Approach
We are an intelligence institution with one embedded operational product. Our research is published in Briefs — analytical pieces that examine failure patterns, market fragility, and structural risk. Our Index aggregates silent risk observations across sectors. Our Monitor turns that intelligence into personalised diagnosis.
Everything we build is guided by a single principle: risks that are seen early are risks that can be managed. The ones that destroy companies are the ones nobody was watching.
