About Benchmark Analytics
Benchmark Analytics prepares high-quality reports and submissions for organisations engaged in regulation, public policy, and economic reform.

When to use Benchmark Analytics
Clients engage Benchmark Analytics when they need:
- a submission or report capable of influencing a regulatory process or government review;
- analysis that meets Treasury, Finance, or Productivity Commission expectations for evidence and logic;
- clear, defensible arguments to support a specific policy outcome or reform proposal;
- a credible, well-researched idea that advances thought leadership;
- a regular, branded publication that explains industry trends or business performance;
- policy-grade analysis without the overheads and delegation layers typical of large consulting firms;
- the capability of an economist–policy adviser without the cost of hiring one full-time.
This work is suitable for companies, industry associations, not-for-profits, public bodies, and financial institutions.
Branding and Presentation
Reports can either incorporate a client’s own branding and design system or be produced using the Benchmark Analytics style. Formatting and presentation are handled professionally to ensure the document is publication-ready.
Quyality Assurance
If a report does not meet the standard required for its intended purpose, the client is not required to pay. In that event, all intellectual property remains with Benchmark Analytics. Ownership transfers only upon payment.
This ensures clients face no financial risk while still receiving material suitable for external publication, regulatory submission, or board-level consideration. (Note - word length restrictions apply for new clients).
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
ChatGPT, Grok and other AI applications are sometimes used in the report writing process. However, these applications are not relied upon for factual information. All facts used are human produced or verified.
