Guidance Call
A focused orientation with CTI's founder to frame your selection context.
Selection Intelligence
The platform decision is too important to leave to conflicted advisors.
Commodity Trading Intel is the independent ETRM and CTRM selection intelligence practice. No vendor affiliations. No implementation revenue. No conflicts of interest. Just structured analysis built for the decision your organisation actually faces.
The Market Reality
Every major advisory firm profits from the platform they recommend.
The ETRM and CTRM selection process is broken at a structural level. The firms companies hire to guide platform decisions are the same firms that implement those platforms. Their recommendation is their revenue pipeline.
Traditional selection engagements cost six figures, run for months, and produce analysis shaped by the advisor's implementation capacity rather than your operational requirements. The result: organisations spend millions implementing platforms that were selected to fit the consultant's business model, not the trading desk's needs.
CTI exists because that conflict of interest is the central problem in every platform decision.
The CTI Navigator
Structured intelligence that replaces months of consulting theatre.
The Navigator is a platform selection engine built for energy and commodity trading companies. Your team completes a structured assessment covering your commodity mix, trade lifecycle, functional requirements, technology landscape, and organisational readiness. A guidance call with CTI's founder sets context before you begin.
The analytical engine scores every major ETRM and CTRM platform across weighted dimensions, producing a detailed intelligence report: executive summary, platform scoring matrix, deep dives on your top-ranked platforms, concentration risk analysis, and stakeholder alignment diagnostics.
What traditional firms deliver in months, the Navigator delivers in days. At a fraction of the cost. With zero conflicts of interest.
Complete the Assessment
Your team works through the Navigator at its own pace, with conditional logic adapting to your profile.

Structurally Independent
Independence is not a claim. It is the business model.
CTI holds no commercial relationships with any ETRM or CTRM vendor. CTI does not implement platforms. CTI does not resell licences. CTI does not accept referral fees.
Revenue comes exclusively from the organisations making platform decisions. This structural separation is the product. When the advisor's only income depends on the quality of the analysis, the analysis is fundamentally different.
Every competitor in this market, from boutique specialists to global advisory firms, implements the platforms they recommend. That is not independence. That is a pipeline.
Platform Coverage
Every major ETRM and CTRM platform. Scored against your requirements.
The Navigator evaluates the complete vendor landscape, from enterprise-scale platforms to focused mid-market solutions, including platforms under consolidated ownership where concentration risk affects strategic positioning.
Your platform decision deserves independent analysis.
Whether you are early in evaluation or deep in vendor shortlisting, the Navigator provides the structured intelligence to make the decision with confidence.
