Narrative-driven behavioural finance services for

How the work is structured

You do not buy a black box. You choose how far you want to go, from one off narrative diagnostics to deeper behavioural reviews, focused workshops, and regular monitoring of the stories that keep tugging at your process.

Diagnostics

Narrative scans

You start by laying your current market stories on the table. Headlines, client questions, internal commentary. Together, you sort them into themes and frames, then map how each one pushes behaviour. This first pass gives you a narrative landscape, not a forecast, so you can see where attention is crowded and where it is strangely quiet.

Risk

Behavioural audits

You then look at where these stories intersect with your own blind spots. Which narratives make you overconfident. Which make you freeze. By reviewing past decisions through a behavioural lens, you identify repeatable pressure points instead of treating every mistake as a one off surprise.

Workshops

Team sessions

You bring your real decisions into the room. No generic case studies. You walk through how specific narratives shaped reactions, then practice using short prompts and checklists to slow that process next time. The focus is on habits that survive pressure, not on perfect theory.

Monitoring

Ongoing views

You keep an eye on how key stories evolve over time. Brief updates highlight shifts in framing, tone, and attention around your chosen themes. Instead of chasing every piece of news, you track how the broader narrative field is moving against your own rules and thresholds.

Services built around how you actually meet market stories

You do not need a shelf of products. You need a few precise ways to look at how financial news and stories shape your reactions. Each service here takes the same core methodology and applies it to a different part of your decision environment, from one off scans to repeated reviews.

Narrative Landscape Reports for your key themes

You begin with a clear question. Which stories are actually driving your reactions right now. The Narrative Landscape Report collects recent headlines, internal notes, and common talking points around your chosen themes. Each item is coded for framing, emotion, and implied risk, then grouped into clusters you can recognise. You see which narratives dominate, which quietly influence the background, and where they conflict. The report does not tell you what to do. It shows you how your information environment is built, so you can decide which stories deserve attention and which are just loud. You can use it before major reviews, planning cycles, or communication decisions, especially when you feel overwhelmed by news flow.

Behavioural Risk Audits on story driven decisions

You suspect that certain stories keep pulling you off your own rules. A Behavioural Risk Audit looks at how that happens. Using selected past decisions, you trace which narratives were present, who amplified them, and how they interacted with known behavioural patterns such as overconfidence or herding. You document specific points where a short pause, extra check, or alternative framing might have changed your response. The output is a concise set of behavioural risk notes and simple guardrails you can apply next time similar stories appear. It is not a judgment on competence. It is a structured way to see where narrative pressure reliably bends your process.

Executive and team workshops on live narratives

You know that habits change faster when teams practice together. Executive and investment team workshops bring your own examples into a structured setting. Before the session, you select a small set of decisions or news cycles that caused tension. During the workshop, you map the stories in the room, highlight where people anchored to different narratives, and test how simple prompts could have shifted the discussion. You leave with shared language, a small set of agreed checks, and a clearer sense of how to keep narrative pressure visible in future meetings. These workshops are practical, discussion heavy, and built for people who already have serious responsibilities.

Ongoing Narrative Monitoring on selected themes

You do not have time to chase every twist in market commentary. Ongoing Narrative Monitoring focuses on a defined set of themes that matter most to you. At agreed intervals, you receive concise updates on how stories around those themes are shifting. You see changes in framing, tone, and attention, along with a short view on how these shifts might interact with your existing rules and behavioural patterns. The aim is not to predict moves, but to keep you from being surprised by the narrative context when you sit down to review positions, plans, or communication choices.

What a typical engagement looks like from first call to follow up

You do not jump into a vague engagement. You move through a defined sequence that starts small, tests fit, and only then deepens into ongoing work if it earns its place.

Clarify your context and choose a starting scope

You start with a short conversation. You describe your role, the types of decisions you face, and one or two recent situations where narratives felt louder than the data. Together, you decide which service fits best and what scope makes sense. The aim is to keep the first engagement focused enough that you can see concrete value without overcommitting.

Collect the narratives already shaping decisions

Once the scope is set, you gather inputs. Headlines, reports, internal memos, meeting notes, and any other material that shows how stories appear in your world. This raw set is organised and coded so you can see which narratives dominate and how they are framed. You do not need to clean it first. The mess is part of the picture.

Run stories through the Narrative Response Loop

With inputs in hand, the team applies the Narrative Response Loop. Stories are broken into claims, emotions, and omissions, then reviewed against behavioural patterns and your existing rules. You receive draft maps, notes, or briefings, depending on the engagement. This is where early insights surface about which narratives consistently bend your process.

Turn insights into tools that fit your workflow

Next, you meet to translate findings into something you can use. That might be a discussion around a report, a workshop with your team, or a focused review of a single high stakes decision. You test proposed checklists, prompts, or routines against your real constraints, trimming anything that feels too fragile for busy days.

Review impact and decide on further support

After you have used the tools for a while, you review what actually changed. You look at decisions made since the engagement, identify where narrative awareness helped, and where old habits still dominated. This feedback shapes any follow up work, ensuring that future reports, audits, or workshops stay grounded in your lived experience.

What actually happens inside each engagement

Each service uses the same core elements. You capture stories, code their patterns, and run them through a disciplined loop until they become inputs you can question instead of impulses you obey.

Qualitative media and narrative scanning

You scan news, commentary, and internal notes for recurring phrases, emotional cues, and shifts in framing. Each item is tagged and grouped so you can see which stories dominate and how they evolve over time.

Structured sentiment and tone tracking

You track how tone, urgency, and confidence change across channels. Sentiment is logged in simple bands so you can compare story intensity with how your team actually responds.

Scenario narratives and decision debiasing tools

You use short checklists and scenario narratives to rehearse reactions. Before the next headline hits, you have a plan for how you will question the story instead of following it blindly.

Why this lens

How narrative work sits beside your existing analysis instead of fighting it

You already have models and reports. What you lack is a clean way to see how stories twist your reactions around that data.

Explains gaps fundamentals cannot

You treat traditional fundamental work as the backbone. Cash flows, balance sheets, macro indicators. They tell you what might be reasonable. Narrative analysis shows you why markets sometimes ignore that picture. By mapping the stories that dominate headlines and conversations, you see when sentiment is stretching away from fundamentals and when it is simply catching up. You are not replacing core analysis. You are explaining the gap between numbers and behaviour.

Adds context to quantitative signals

You respect quantitative signals, but you know they often arrive after the mood has shifted. Narrative work focuses on the words that move first. Headlines, commentary, and internal notes show early changes in attention and framing. When you layer that on top of your indicators, you get a sharper sense of why a move feels stronger or weaker than the data alone suggests. It is a complement, not a competing model.

Turns noisy debate into clear language

You sit in rooms where arguments bounce between data points and strong opinions. Narrative mapping gives you shared language. Instead of saying someone is being emotional, you point to specific frames and phrases driving their stance. This turns vague disagreement into a structured review of which story you are actually following and whether it matches your own rules for action.

Improves process, not prediction

You know you cannot script the future. Behavioural and narrative analysis does not try. It focuses on your process. You identify which stories reliably make you rush, which make you freeze, and how those patterns show up in past decisions. That insight feeds back into small routines you can use beside your existing work, improving consistency without pretending to predict outcomes.

Built to survive real pressure

You work under time pressure. You do not have space for heavy, fragile frameworks. Narrative tools are deliberately light. Short checklists. Simple maps. Focused briefings. They fit next to your existing planning and review cycles. This makes it easier to keep using them when headlines turn loud and your calendar is full, instead of abandoning them after the first busy week.

Ready to see this on your own decisions

You already know which headlines keep showing up in your meetings. You already see which stories make you move faster than your own rules. If you want to turn that tension into a clearer process, this is the moment to ask for a focused proposal. Share your market, your role, and one decision that still bothers you. You will get a structured outline of how narrative work could plug into your current setup. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and results may vary.
