Hi Kevin, Thanks for the question.
Naturally, we have strict rules and compliance internally to ensure that we do not disclose confidential information between clients. What we are often able to transfer between clients is the methodologies of the analysis that we conduct (adapted to the requirements of the new client) and our knowledge of broader industry trends (and how publically available information about our previous clients aligns to that) - in limited circumstances, we will leverage some less commercially sensitive information on a fully anonymised basis as part of benchmarks
