Which combination of products do most customers buy from Arbo?

Using analytics, services, and research together allows Arbo clients to unlock the full value of our intelligence platform. While each component offers distinct benefits, they work best when combined; analytics deliver structured insights, services tailor those insights to specific challenges, and research provides timely insights on critical industry issues and impacts to projects.

The relationship between Arbo products is dynamic. Service engagements often highlight emerging topics for research, and research articles frequently spark ideas for responsive analysis among our clients. As customer teams engage more fully across these areas, we develop a deep understanding of their business, enabling us to anticipate needs and proactively deliver intelligence that is both timely and precisely relevant.

Most customers choose to subscribe to all three because together they create a more personalized, proactive, and valuable experience than any single component alone.

What sets ArboIQ apart from other energy industry consultancies?

ArboIQ is trusted for its accuracy, speed, and ability to quantify opportunities and non-technical risks in ways that traditional consultancies and data providers cannot match — grounded in deep domain expertise and with a proven track record of predictive accuracy.

Unlike traditional consultancies or data providers, we don’t just report the news or offer generic anecdotes; we fuse rarely structured regulatory data, legal precedent, and decades of combined industry experience into business intelligence that enables clients to confidently navigate permitting, litigation, and market-moving events.

Our value is amplified through long-standing client relationships and a subscription model that fosters ongoing collaboration. As clients engage more deeply with our analytics, services, and research, we develop a nuanced understanding of their business, allowing us to anticipate needs and deliver increasingly personalized, proactive intelligence. This unique approach empowers the leading energy developers and traders to make faster, better-informed decisions in a highly complex and rapidly evolving landscape.

How does Arbo handle confidentiality and material non-public information?

Arbo is committed to the confidentiality of any proprietary data uploaded inside its products or obtained via services engagements. The terms and conditions of confidentiality and non disclosure are documented and mutually agreed upon in all service and product license agreements.

Arbo takes the confidentiality of client information and the handling of material non-public information (MNPI) extremely seriously to protect our clients’ interests and the integrity of the markets we serve.

While our analytics and research are primarily built on public data sources, upon request we also work with proprietary datasets provided by our clients. We treat all client-owned data with the highest level of confidentiality, governed by strict non-disclosure agreements and robust internal controls.

Your proprietary information is never shared directly with other clients or used to corroborate the development of Arbo intelligence from official sources. Our team is trained to recognize and appropriately handle sensitive information, ensuring that MNPI is never released or used in compromising ways.
