Broad incumbents
- Kantar (formerly Colmar Brunton New Zealand): Global market research and insights firm operating in NZ (formerly Colmar Brunton, where Scarlatti's Workforce Research Lead previously worked).

Comparable to Scarlatti's QUICK framework and monitoring/evaluation capabilities, particularly in the design and assessment of extension and behavioural-change programmes.
Others

Connected to Scarlatti through overlapping primary-industry research mandates and partnership with Manaaki Whenua; represents an adjacent rather than directly competing capability.

Comparable to Scarlatti's extension-and-training and impact-modelling practice in methodology, though operating at materially larger scale with international reach.
