    1. Analysis of the Corporate Context and Timeline<\/strong>:
      <\/strong>Every project begins with an in-depth meeting with the client to immerse ourselves in their history, values, mission, and business objectives.

    2. Business Intelligence: Target Company List and Market Mapping<\/strong>
      Through a structured study of the relevant competitive landscape, we compile a Target Company List of preferred organizations and sectors that will be the subject of a targeted investigation.

    3. Screening and Evaluation<\/strong>
