Economist: Companies gain ‘huge advantage’ from real-time analysis.

It’s all about timing. 

That’s what accomplished Economist Gabriel Duvidovich would like corporate leadership teams to understand about PivotXY’s real-time strategy platform, which delivers deep analyses in minutes, thanks in part to his input.

As a veteran of many corporate economic analyses, he knows PivotXY represents a significant advancement not just in timing but also in the depth of strategic insights it enables. Having done it the old way many times, he knows the traditional process was both time-consuming and reliant on manual expertise. A company would hire a corporate finance consultant for a project, who would then dive in to understand the business, gather data, analyze financials, and construct a model — layering in economic principles and strategic assumptions to ensure meaningful insights. This iterative process of refining assumptions, testing scenarios, and aligning with broader economic trends was crucial but lengthy. And that didn’t even account for the time spent finding and onboarding the right consultant. All told, generating a single report took weeks — time that could significantly impact the speed and effectiveness of decision-making.

“With PivotXY, you have that information on your screen in a few minutes,” Gabriel says. “And that’s a game changer. In many situations, companies wouldn’t even go through the traditional process to get this level of analysis. They’d either rely on gut instinct or make decisions with incomplete information because they simply don’t have the time to wait — or the bandwidth to navigate the lengthy back-and-forth, even if they’re willing to absorb the cost. PivotXY removes that barrier, making strategic, data-driven decision-making not just faster, but smarter.”

A SaaS product based on sound economic fundamentals

Gabriel applies his far-reaching experience to ensure PivotXY’s analyses are grounded in solid, proven economic principles. He draws from his academic experience in finance and economics, as well as his years as a corporate strategy consultant.

“I’ve always been drawn to problem-solving — understanding the mechanics behind success and efficiency,” he says. “I love figuring out how economies function, why some companies scale while others struggle, and how data can drive better decisions.” That curiosity aligns nicely with PivotXY’s mission: to give corporate leadership teams the tools to optimize shareholder value with data-driven analytics software.

On-the-ground experience infused into PivotXY’s upcoming Valuation+ module

Much of Gabriel’s work in economics has involved valuation. His approach involved developing simulation models that enabled clients to adjust key assumptions and instantly see their impact on valuation. “That’s also something we’re building in Valuation+ at PivotXY. Empowering users to adjust assumptions and see how they impact a company’s valuation has been a core part of my work throughout my career. That flexibility is invaluable, allowing decision-makers to test different scenarios, anticipate risks, and make more informed strategic choices with confidence.”

The role of economists in PivotXY’s development

Gabriel is one member of a team of economists guiding every detail that goes into developing the PivotXY Insights Engine. They’re there to ensure our SaaS product overdelivers for corporate leadership teams, boards, investors and others needing to hone their strategic decision-making. 

He applies his financial expertise to help “build our tool in a way that is connecting to all those points, the more technical valuation, M&A, strategic consultancy methodology. Also, looking at the perspective of economics in general as market indicators and market analysts and other information that we can use in our tool. I worked many years as a consultant, and I think that experience helps me understand what we are and what we want to deliver to the end user.”

Corporate strategy decisions backed by real data

Gabriel played a key role in designing PivotXY as a tool to transform how corporate leadership teams make decisions — ensuring every choice is backed by real data from its comprehensive reports. “Having data-driven insights at your fingertips changes the game,” he says. “Not only can you ground your decisions in solid analysis, but you also gain a clearer picture of your competitors' positioning. The ability to assess strategies from their perspective and anticipate their next moves is a major advantage. That level of strategic foresight is one of PivotXY’s most powerful capabilities.”
