What Analysis Group does

Analysis Group, Inc. is a Boston-headquartered, privately held economic consulting firm founded in 1981 and one of the largest in its industry. The firm applies expertise in economics, finance, health care analytics, and strategy to complex business problems across more than 25 practice areas including Antitrust & Competition, Securities & Financial Products, Intellectual Property, Health Care, HEOR, Energy & Climate, ESG, Data Science & AI, and International Arbitration. Its core offering is bespoke expert economic analysis and testimony for litigation, regulatory, and strategic matters, anchored by a network of academic affiliates drawn from institutions such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, and others.

The firm's technology layer centers on data science, AI, and statistical modeling capabilities that support engagements such as multi-country empirical studies (e.g., the 175-country Apple App Store study finding $1.4 trillion in developer billings and 64% small-developer revenue growth in Europe from 2020–2022) and HEOR/real-world evidence work for pharmaceutical sponsors. There is no packaged software product; revenue is generated exclusively through professional services fees tied to engagement scope, expert involvement, and complexity, with multi-year contracts and quote-driven pricing.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies (DOJ, FTC, SEC, FERC, European Commission), supplemented by thought leadership publications, industry conferences, and academic expert promotion. The firm operates from offices in Boston, San Francisco, London, Paris (strengthened via the December 2025 Ricol Lasteyrie partnership), and Brussels, with CEO Pierre Cremieux leading the partnership alongside other senior principals.
