Our Story

TROVE was created as a solution to problems exploration managers commonly face when searching for data:

​

• Where is the data?

• Can I trust the data?

• Why is the data not standardised?

• Why is the data not all in one place?

​

After identifying these as issues, we looked at the currently available databases but they could not provide answers to all of the questions. So we decided to make our own - TROVE - a database pulling all open source data (both structured and un-structured) together into a single location and standardising it with an audit trail. 

​

At first, TROVE only covered the Outer Moray Firth, but now contains information from over 100 countries. Person-decades have been put into building TROVE databases.

​

Our Hub Analysis Toolkit has allowed us to unlock the power of these TROVE databases and provides an unparalleled addition to our consultancy arsenal.
