Wealth Management
The Wealth Transfer to Women Is a Retention Problem, Not a Sales Opportunity
$54 trillion is projected to pass to surviving spouses, mostly women, through 2048. The money is already at the firm. The industry's real problem is that it loses the account in the year of the transfer, not acquiring it.
Retirement
The Retirement Risk That Volatility Numbers Cannot See
Standard retirement advice, cash buffers, glide paths, is built around a volatility figure that treats gains and losses as equivalent. For a retiree who is spending, they are not, and the real risk lives in the sequence.
Tax Policy
UnitedHealth's Tax Bill Depends on a Price Nobody Ever Paid
The IRS says UnitedHealth underpaid taxes by shifting money through a foreign subsidiary. The dispute isn't really about a number, it's about which reconstructed price for an internal transaction a court will accept.
Litigation
The Drug-Testing Fight That Is Really About Who Gets to Be Believed
Valisure is suing the standards body USP over a white paper it says disparaged its testing methods. Neither party sells pills. Both sell a claim about drug safety, and the lawsuit is a fight over whose word counts.
Fintech
The Top-Rated Bank in America Isn't a Bank
Chime tops the 2026 customer reputation ranking of U.S. banks, but it holds no charter. The reputation and the regulatory scrutiny belong to different companies, and the survey only measures one of them.
Banking
Texas Opened Its Doors to Capital, and Its Banks Are the Price
Out-of-state banks are buying up Texas franchises at a rapid clip. The same openness that built the state's banking boom is what makes its own banks impossible to protect from being bought.
Industry Consolidation
A Drop in Private Equity Deals Is Not the Same as Less Consolidation
Physician practice deals labeled private equity fell from 851 to 105 as states cracked down. But the new laws police a label, and the same consolidation can happen under a name the statutes do not reach.
Medicaid Policy
The Medicaid Pilot That Nearly Died Before the Savings Showed Up
North Carolina's Healthy Opportunities Pilots saved Medicaid $164 per member per month, but the program ran out of funding before that proof existed. Its history is a warning for anyone who wants to scale it.
Aerospace & Defense
The Defense Rally Is the Cost of Deterrence Arriving Late
RTX's $22.9 billion Tomahawk contract reads like a war dividend, but the missiles were always going to need replacing. The rally is pricing the end of a 25-year deferral, not new demand.
B2B Research
Most Popular Research Articles
Intent Data
Intent Data Providers For B2B
Non-English intent signal is still under twenty percent of total volume industrywide, which means most platforms are seeing a fraction of the buying activity happening outside English language markets.
Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management Solutions
One vendor is explicitly competing on restraint, arguing that a plausible AI generated article that is subtly wrong is worse for a knowledge base than no article at all.
MDR
Managed Detection And Response Services
Forrester's own buyer guidance undercuts the AI pitch: providers are getting measurably more efficient, and there is little evidence yet that any of that efficiency is reaching customer pricing.
MDR Europe
Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe
Forrester's guidance to buyers is blunt: having a data centre in the EU answers one sovereignty question out of four, and most vendor pitches stop at the first.
Manufacturing Tech
Manufacturing Technology Services
Forrester frames 2026's binding constraint as a workforce that cannot be trained fast enough, which makes this a services category built around people more than platforms.
Market Intelligence
Market And Competitive Intelligence Platforms
Generative AI should have commoditized this category, and instead Forrester's criteria count kept climbing, because the moat was always licensed source access, not summarization.
Open Banking
Open Banking Intermediaries
Two of the category's most prominent independent players are now owned by the card networks they were supposed to route around.
Change Management
Organizational Change Management Services
Forrester's provider count nearly doubled in three years, and every other technology category in this series points at the same root cause: the software works and the organisation does not change.
PLM
Product Lifecycle Management Platforms For Discrete Manufacturers
Every reference customer for one vendor said they would buy again, which in PLM can mean genuine excellence or a customer base that has nowhere else to go once the evidence chain is built.
