Introduction

Recent project cost volatility has underscored the importance of transparent, regular escalation data, which can provide insight into supply chain costs, underlying commodity and labor markets, and proactively plan for risk.  

We provide granular and transparent escalation data across all energy types, channeled through analytics, data and regular updates from our analysts. This data is compliant with ISO-19008, allowing for easier integration into estimating and benchmarking work processes.

Our escalation forecasts are anchored through bottom-up activity databases that regularly update supply versus demand balances for goods and services.  We also incorporate relevant macro-economic factors to equip our clients with a transparent view of where escalation is trending for each good and service we monitor.
