What Estudios Tecnicos does

Estudios Técnicos, Inc. (ETI) is a privately held, Puerto Rico-headquartered consulting firm founded in 1985 that delivers research, analytics, strategic planning, and policy advisory services across economic, social, urban/regional/environmental, market, consumer, and regulatory domains. It serves three primary customer segments: Puerto Rico government agencies (notably DRNA, DRD, and multiple municipalities), U.S. federal programs channeled through NOAA, NPS, USFS, USFWS and CDBG-DR funding, and private sector clients (with a specific banking/credit union industry practice). Its core technology stack is built around a data analytics platform branded Insights that combines proprietary indexes, predictive models, geographic information systems, and data automation, together with standalone products including the ETI Trends monthly publication, an Economic Indicators Dashboard, the Puerto Rico Banking Financial Stability Index, the Credit Union Financial Stability Index, the ETI Consumer Panel, and the ETI CX (Customer Experience) system co-commercialized with Consumer Experience PR.

The firm operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market motion, winning work through direct procurement with Puerto Rico government agencies, federal grant-funded contracts, and private sector consulting engagements - with no public pricing or subscription product. Revenue is generated entirely from professional services fees on custom consulting contracts rather than licensed or subscription software. Public sector work is dominated by long-cycle planning documents and federally-mandated plans (e.g., SCORP 2027-2032, JBNERR management plan, La Parguera reserve plan, coastal wetlands plan, post-hurricane municipal recovery), while the financial industry segment is served through quarterly stability indexes and the newer private-sector CX practice.

ETI is led by founder and CEO José J. Villamil and President/COO Graham Castillo Pagán, with a multidisciplinary leadership team across Economic Analysis (Leslie Adames), Social Analysis and Policy (Anitza M. Cox), and Statistics (Carlos Torija). The firm is independently owned with no identified parent, no disclosed institutional investors, and no subsidiaries; it has no public funding rounds, M&A activity, or restructuring events in the source data, indicating an organic-growth, founder-controlled operating model.

• ICF International: ICF is a publicly traded consulting and digital services firm specializing in energy, environment, and public sector advisory. It competes head-to-head for federal environmental and social policy planning contracts and overlays ETI's economic/social analysis + environmental management services portfolio.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen is a major federal civilian and defense consultant with deep NOAA, NPS, and USFWS engagement. It is comparable as a large-scale prime contractor that bids against ETI (and subcontracts with firms like ETI) on the same federal planning and research task orders.

Broad incumbents

• Jacobs Solutions: Jacobs is a large professional services firm with a critical mission solutions and environmental planning practice that overlaps ETI's coastal/wetlands/climate work. Comparable as a broader incumbent on NOAA and federal environmental contracts.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with environmental planning and federal services capabilities that overlap ETI's planning, environmental, and infrastructure-related consulting work for federal clients.
• Deloitte Consulting: Deloitte operates a large public-sector consulting practice that competes for the same federal planning, economic analysis, and policy RFPs as ETI, although at significantly larger scale and across many industries.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey's Public and Social Sector practice performs strategic planning, economic analysis, and policy consulting for governments globally — a broader incumbent comparable to ETI's strategy and economic advisory work for PR government and private clients.
