CGI Group works with three principal client categories — each requiring a different cut of commercial analysis, applied with a common standard of analytical rigor.
Private equity firms, family offices, and institutional investors rely on CGI Group for pre-investment commercial due diligence, market analysis, and portfolio-level competitive analysis — supporting capital allocation decisions with structured evidence.
Public and private companies engage CGI Group for competitive analysis, market entry research, operational diagnostics, and revenue acceleration work — converting fragmented commercial signals into executive-ready advisory output.
Strategy consultancies, financial advisors, and specialist counsel partner with CGI Group as an embedded analytical layer — supplying the structured commercial analysis that informs their own client deliverables and recommendations.
Representative engagement scenarios — illustrative examples of the commercial questions CGI Group is structured to answer. Identifying details have been removed.
A growth-equity firm engaged CGI Group to evaluate a $40M ARR vertical SaaS acquisition target. Standard accounting diligence was already underway; the firm needed structured commercial analysis — covering competitive positioning, customer retention dynamics, and growth-signal validation. CGI's seven-stage methodology surfaced three positioning vulnerabilities not visible in the data room and one previously unmapped competitor entering the segment. The findings reshaped the firm's valuation model and informed final negotiation strategy.
A B2B software leadership team commissioned CGI Group to audit messaging and positioning against four direct competitors following a stalled annual planning cycle. CGI delivered a structured positioning matrix, messaging vulnerability analysis, and a differentiation framework within six weeks. The deliverable became the analytical foundation for the company's go-to-market repositioning and informed three subsequent product-marketing decisions.
A professional services firm reported declining win rates despite strong top-of-funnel activity. CGI Group conducted a revenue performance engagement covering pipeline structure, deal-stage conversion, competitive loss analysis, and ICP fit assessment. The diagnostic identified two operational misalignments and one structural pricing issue. Within two quarters of implementation, the firm's win rate recovered to historical baseline.
