See what the data is signaling.
Act on what the analysis confirms.

Modern organizations are overwhelmed by fragmented information, accelerating competition, operational complexity, and shifting market conditions.

Most businesses possess data. Very few translate it into structured commercial insight.

CGI Group exists to transform fragmented market signals, operational indicators, and competitive information into structured commercial analysis that supports growth, positioning, and strategic decisions. Our methodology combines disciplined commercial analysis, due diligence, operational diagnostics, competitive positioning analysis, and market signal interpretation — to help organizations make more informed growth decisions with greater speed and clarity.

We are not a consulting firm in the traditional sense. We are not a research firm. We are not a technology company. We are a commercial intelligence and strategic advisory firm — pairing analytical discipline with commercial outcomes.

Founded by Cody N. Hertz.

CGI Group was founded by Cody N. Hertz, Founder & Portfolio Manager — combining capital-allocation discipline with structured commercial analysis to support the strategic decisions that drive durable growth.

  • A commercial intelligence & advisory firm
  • A strategic advisory partner
  • Executive-oriented in deliverables

Analytical Infrastructure

Modern tools.
Analyst-led practice.

CGI Group leverages modern analytical systems — including large-scale data synthesis and advanced language model infrastructure — internally, to accelerate research synthesis and improve analytical efficiency.

These systems are infrastructure, not product. They reduce the time required to produce high-quality analysis. They do not replace structured analytical reasoning, source practice, or executive judgment — all of which remain human-led at every stage of every engagement.

The result: advisory work that is faster, more consistent, and more affordable than traditional consulting models — without compromising the analytical rigor that makes the work useful in the first place.
