  • Produce one written piece per month through the end of 2026, expanding to two pieces per month during the second phase of the engagement.
  • Host occasional video briefings that provide audiences with timely analysis and context on developments across the space industry.
  • Participate in and moderate in-person events, bringing subject-matter expertise and informed analysis to live conversations.
  • Engage with industry participants and other relevant stakeholders to strengthen WP Intelligence's understanding of the space sector and inform its coverage.
  • Support the development of WP Intelligence's space-focused membership community by making introductions to potential council members in partnership with the revenue team.
  • Collaborate with WP Intelligence colleagues to support the growth of space coverage across analysis, briefings, events, and membership initiatives.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
