Capability Intelligence
Headcount tells you scale. Role structure tells you shape. Skill concentration over time tells you what a company is actually capable of building, and how that capability evolves.
Move beyond how companies grow or structure. Understand what they are actually capable of building and executing, tracked across company-year observations.
Map companies by functional capability over time. Understand whether a workforce is oriented toward software delivery, commercial execution, data infrastructure, or something else entirely, and track how that orientation shifts.

Overview
What It Is
The top skill concentrations inside each company's workforce, ranked by how much of the team carries each capability, tracked across longitudinal company-year observations. The dataset focuses on the 1990–2020 period, where company coverage and signal density are highest.
Whether the company's skill profile leans toward technical delivery, commercial operations, leadership depth, or specialist functions, and how that orientation shifts over time.
How two companies with similar headcount and structure can differ sharply at the capability layer, revealing what each can actually execute.
Capability Intelligence expands each company-year into multiple structured capability signals, enabling deeper temporal analysis of how companies actually operate and evolve. This is the highest-resolution view available in the dataset.
Capabilities
What You Can Do With It
Search an entire market for companies with deep concentrations in a specific capability, such as data engineering, cloud infrastructure, or regulatory compliance
Evaluate acquisition targets on skill-set alignment rather than surface-level market position or revenue multiples
Assess whether a vendor or partner's workforce can actually deliver on what is commercially represented
Detect when a traditionally non-technical organization begins concentrating new skills over time, signaling a product or strategy pivot through multi-year workforce data
Signals
What's Included
All Market Intelligence signals (growth, structure, roles, percentiles)
Top skill buckets per company, ranked by workforce share
Skill concentration percentage per bucket
Leading individual skill within each bucket
Capability concentration indicator
Skill profile orientation (technical, commercial, operational)
Directional flags: resilience, high resilience, decline
Format: CSV, Parquet, Snowflake, or RAG file. Multi-row per company (one row per skill bucket, top three per company). Includes all fields from Growth and Market Intelligence. Structured for analytical workflows and AI models requiring temporal, company-level capability data.
