Frank Advisory — Deep Analysis

Anyone can claim a living wage. We show you the number behind it.

Deep Analysis is the data-heavy end of what we do — wage benchmarking, geospatial mapping and factory-level research, built to survive a regulator's questions, not just a boardroom slide.

01 — What We Do

Six kinds of question we answer with data, not opinion.

Every engagement is built around your actual supplier and payroll data — not industry averages.

WB

Wage & living-wage benchmarking

Actual pay vs. living wage and minimum wage, by factory and by role.

GM

Geospatial & tier mapping

Supply chains traced from Tier 1 factories down to Tier 4 raw materials.

MD

Methodology & audit design

The framework behind the numbers, built so it holds up under scrutiny.

FD

Factory-level deep dives

Single-brand or single-factory research, gender pay gap and overtime included.

RR

Regulatory readiness

CSRD, CSDDD and DPP data, structured the way regulators expect to see it.

BR

Board-ready reporting

Findings turned into something a board, investor or press office can actually use.

02 — Why It Works

Because "we're committed to fair wages" isn't a number regulators or press will accept.

Sustainability claims are being checked harder every year. Deep Analysis exists so that when someone asks for the evidence, you already have it.

01

Data over claims

We start from payroll and supplier records, not surveys or self-reported estimates — so the number holds up when it's challenged.

02

Built for regulation

CSRD and CSDDD were written with this kind of evidence in mind. We structure findings to match, not translate them after the fact.

03

A method proven at scale

The same benchmarking logic already runs across 1,000+ suppliers inside The Chain — applied here to your specific set.

03 — In Practice

Minimum wage & overtime, factory by factory.

04 — Geo Intelligence

Now with satellite eyes on the ground.

In partnership with The Geo Company, we layer geospatial and remote-sensing data over supply chain findings — so a facility isn't just a name and an address, it's something you can actually see.

Satellite and geospatial data, added to every deep dive.

Accessibility, environmental change, thermal activity and climate exposure — all visible from above, and all addable to a Deep Analysis engagement without a single extra site visit.

"[Add a short line from Harriet on the partnership and what geospatial data adds to supply chain due diligence.]"

01

Accessibility & logistics

Road and pedestrian network analysis — travel times, transport connectivity and proximity to logistics infrastructure.

02

Change monitoring

Repeat satellite observations track site expansion, vegetation loss and change around a facility over time.

03

Night-time imagery

Night-time light data gives a coarse read on illumination and activity around industrial sites.

04

Heat signature

Thermal infrared imagery flags surface temperature and heat emissions from structures and surrounding land.

05

Vegetation & water health

NDVI and NDWI analysis identifies vegetation and water impact around a facility.

06

Climate impacts

Flood, drought and extreme heat exposure, assessed for operational and supply chain resilience.

05 — How We Work

Four stages, from raw payroll to a finished brief.

01

Collect & verify

Payroll, supplier lists and factory records, checked for gaps before analysis starts.

02

Benchmark

Wages measured against local living wage, minimum wage and overtime standards.

03

Map & flag

Geospatial tier mapping surfaces where the risk actually sits in the chain.

04

Brief & report

Findings delivered as a board-ready brief, plus the regulatory-ready data behind it.
