Research for consequential decisions.
Public institutional research on intelligence infrastructure, AI-native company creation, sovereign capability and the systems that turn information into enterprise value.
Evidence, method and an explicit boundary between fact and interpretation.
Every publication defines its question, scope, methodology, terminology, limitations, references and revision history. BLACK& frameworks are identified as proprietary analysis, while third-party evidence remains attributed to its original source.
Sovereign AI and European Strategic Infrastructure
Compute, Energy, and the Political Economy of Europe's AI Continent Plan
The paper examines the architecture, financing and political economy of Europe's AI Factories and planned AI Gigafactories. It analyzes the InvestAI framework, commercial infrastructure already emerging across Europe and Romania's Black Sea AI Gigafactory proposal as a case study in energy, financing, permitting and offtake risk.
The Intelligence Company Builder
Why AI-Native Company Creation Outperforms AI Adoption Inside Legacy Organisations
The paper connects evidence on enterprise AI adoption with venture-studio company-building research. It introduces BLACK&'s proprietary Intelligence Company Builder methodology as a structured alternative to isolated AI pilots retrofitted onto legacy workflows.
From Information to Enterprise
Why Most Corporate Data Never Becomes a Decision — and What Closes the Gap
The paper examines why expanding data volume has not translated into proportionate decision quality or operational value. It presents BLACK&'s Information–Intelligence–Enterprise–Assets framework and connects it to European data-governance and data-economy policy developments.
The Architecture of Intelligence-Led Company Creation
Orchestration, Protocols, and Governance for AI-Native Departments
This paper addresses the technical architecture beneath the Intelligence Company Builder methodology. It examines multi-agent orchestration, MCP and A2A protocols, hub-and-spoke and mesh patterns, the enterprise governance gap and the conditions under which EU AI Act obligations become relevant.
European Energy Intelligence Landscape
Power, Gas, Grids, and the Nuclear Pivot — Mapping Europe’s Energy Transition Through Current Institutional Data
The paper maps Europe’s electricity crossover, the regulated phase-out of Russian gas, the transmission-grid bottleneck, the renewed nuclear investment pipeline and the divergence between national energy systems. Its interactive dashboard lets readers move between five structural shifts and the European Energy Intelligence Layer aggregation model.
