Our Mission
MarketPulse Intelligence is the tree from which every global economic branch will inevitably stem.
The root system: unified intelligence across defense, federal, allied, commercial, and regulatory markets.
The trunk: a single foundational platform that no operator, no agency, no institution can afford to stand outside of.
The branches: every downstream tool, every competitor, every analyst, every decision that depends on knowing what is moving before anyone else does.
Built deliberately.
Built to be indispensable.
Built to be the foundational tree from which every economic ecosystem feeds from and grows around.
Integrated intelligence across the feeds that matter
The old consulting model charges you millions
to tell you things you already suspect.
Traditional engagements are built on leverage — junior analysts, recycled frameworks, and hundred-page decks that age the moment the market moves. You pay for the logo on the cover.
70%
of the work
Performed by junior analysts
The partner pitches the deal. Associates two years out of undergrad actually build the deliverable — billed at partner rates.
Static
one-time reports
Stale the day they ship
A 200-page PDF is obsolete the moment the market moves. You don't get an ongoing intelligence partner — you get a binder.
No
skin in the game
Paid regardless of outcome
Fees are collected whether the strategy works or not. There is no refund clause. No measurable performance tied to payment.
A senior strategist plugged directly into your data. No binders. No associates. No delay.
-
01
Discovery & Integration
We plug the MarketPulse command center into your data feeds, financial systems, and operational signals. KPIs and success metrics are documented in the SOW — these are what the performance guarantee is measured against.
- Secure, read-only integration with your stack
- Baseline audit of spend, revenue drivers, and capital flow
- Kickoff KPIs written into the contract
-
02
Analysis & Strategy
Doc runs your business through the command center — 16+ live data sources cross- referenced with your internal signals and augmented with proprietary AI. Output: a ranked set of capital-saving and revenue-accelerating plays, each with a modeled dollar impact.
- Competitive, macro, and operational intelligence, synthesized
- Capital recapture opportunities surfaced and quantified
- Revenue-acceleration plays ranked by ROI and time-to-impact
-
03
Ongoing Intelligence
Strategy isn't a deliverable — it's a standing relationship. You get a senior partner on retainer, continuously monitoring the feeds, flagging inflection points, and course-correcting as the market moves.
- Weekly strategic briefings directly from Doc
- Real-time alerts on competitor and market inflection points
- Quarterly performance review against contracted KPIs
Selected briefs. Evidence-backed. Open to the public.
Three sample dossiers — an opportunity brief, a trend brief, and a company brief — each authored by MarketPulse Intelligence with named sources. Most of our work is reserved for partners and clients; these are public so you can evaluate the caliber before you engage.

16+ live data sources
Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv, Capital IQ, PitchBook, SEC EDGAR, FRED, Similarweb and more — cross-referenced in minutes, not weeks.
Senior strategist. No associates.
You work directly with Doc. There is no associate layer, no case team, no hand-off. The person pitching the work is the person delivering it.
Real-time intelligence
Not a report. A continuously updated view of your market, your competitors, and your revenue drivers — delivered in briefings you can actually act on.
Money-back performance guarantee
We write the success KPIs into the SOW at kickoff. If we don't hit them within the contracted timeline, you receive a full refund. No dispute. No arbitration.
Net-positive from day one
Engagements are designed to return more capital than they cost before the contract ends. You stay ahead of your own retainer, every month.
The guarantee
If we don't deliver, you don't pay.
The KPIs that define a successful engagement are written into your SOW at kickoff — not assumed, not implied, not left to interpretation. If MarketPulse Intelligence does not deliver measurable optimization and demonstrably accelerate your ROI within the contracted timeline, you receive a full refund of fees paid.
- Success criteria documented at kickoff. Specific, measurable, dated. No moving goalposts.
- Quarterly KPI checkpoints. Progress reviewed against the SOW — transparently, with source data.
- Full refund clause in every contract. Not partial credits. Not next-engagement rollovers. A refund.
Comparable strategic depth.
A fraction of the spend.
Same caliber of strategic thinking as the top-tier firms — at a fraction of what they charge, with deliverables they don't offer (a written performance guarantee, direct senior access, and a proprietary command center). Pricing is customized to your engagement, not packaged. The figure shown is a reference point, not a fixed rate.
Three ways to engage. Every tier carries the guarantee.
Engagements are scoped to your needs — not packaged into a fixed menu. No per-hour billing, no change orders, no associate padding. The right tier is a function of scope and ambition, and pricing is built around the outcome you want.

The principal
Michael "Doc" Metelits
Founder & Managing Principal, MarketPulse Intelligence
Doc is the sole senior operator on every engagement. He built the MarketPulse command center to bring top-tier strategic analysis into a single seat — so enterprises could get the caliber of thinking the top-four firms deliver, without the associate layer or the invoice that comes with it.
Every client works directly with Doc. There is no junior team. There is no hand-off. The person you meet on the partnership call is the person running your analysis the next morning.
Ready when you are
Ready to see what
Ready to see what
your competitors are missing?
Every engagement begins with a partnership call — typically 45 minutes, always directly with Doc. We'll walk through your current spend, your revenue drivers, and the KPIs we'd write into your SOW. No pitch deck. No follow-up from an associate.
