Where A2 goes deep

Coverage is deepest in private-equity-backed and venture-backed energy infrastructure: advanced nuclear and small modular reactors, data center power, LNG, midstream, upstream oil and gas, critical minerals, and the manufacturing systems that support them.

Core search work centers on CFO, VP Finance, VP Corporate Development, Controller, CAO, Director of Strategic Finance, and FP&A leadership. Select mandates extend to commercial, legal, and technical leaders when the market requires sector-specific access.

A2 Executive Market Map

The market map is a standalone intelligence product or the first stage of a search. It defines the qualified population for one seat, records capability evidence against an explicit rubric, separates relationship access from candidate stance, and identifies where the specification or compensation package is constraining the market.

Read the A2 Executive Market Map specification.

A public prediction record

A2 also maintains a source-linked record of senior hiring and capital events. Forward hiring predictions carry a stated confidence and a fixed resolution date before the outcome is known. Open and resolved rows remain visible, sample sizes are published, and probability error is measured with a Brier score against an observed base-rate reference.

Inspect the method and current record or read the machine-readable prediction ledger.

Evidence discipline

Capability, evidence confidence, relationship access, and confirmed stance remain separate. Interest is recorded only after direct contact. Public files contain company-level events and cited sources, not candidate contact information or confidential statements.
