MCP for market research and strategy teams
DataGardener MCP lets a research or strategy team's AI agent size a UK market from company and financial filings, break it down by region, turnover band and ownership group, identify fast growers and recent entrants, and return the result with sources, periods and methodology.
Trust proof for market research buyers
Logos indicate organisations using the DataGardener platform, as shown on datagardener.com. They do not indicate use of DataGardener MCP.
The problem
Filed accounts and SIC classifications allow a bottom-up view, but assembling it manually takes days.
Counting subsidiaries as independent companies overstates fragmentation.
A briefing built from exports cannot easily be rerun next quarter.
Example questions
Intelligence layers needed
Example MCP workflow
A researcher frames the market by SIC codes, keywords and geography.
Counts by region and turnover band come from aggregation queries.
Group-structure tools collapse subsidiaries to ultimate parents.
The agent returns a reproducible briefing with sources and periods.

Question
Size the UK care-home market and break companies down by region and turnover.
Stage 1 of 5
The agent breaks the question into the conditions it must satisfy.
Each condition maps to one or more DataGardener intelligence layers. Nothing is guessed: if a condition cannot be evidenced, the agent says so.
Question: Size the UK care-home market and break companies down by region and turnover.
Intent: Sector: residential care; Market sizing; Region breakdown; Turnover bands.
Tools selected: execute_query, execute_ukgaap_query, search_group_structure.
Modules queried: Company index (Residential care SIC codes, live, aggregate by region: 15,000+ companies); UK GAAP financials (Latest turnover by band, by region: Turnover matrix); Group structure (Collapse subsidiaries to ultimate parents: Operator view).
Evidence connected: SIC-based population counts; Turnover bands from filed accounts; Group consolidation.
Answer: The agent returns a region-by-turnover matrix for UK residential care operators, then collapses subsidiaries to ultimate parents to show how concentrated the market is among the largest groups.
Provenance: Source Companies House; filed accounts; DataGardener group structure; date Latest filings; module Company, Financial, Economy, Ownership; usage Aggregation; records only when drilled into.
Suggested next questions: Which operators grew fastest? / Which have charges with specialist lenders? / Export the matrix
Every answer arrives with its provenance
Time-saving logic
If a market briefing takes analyst days of exporting and reconciling, an agent that queries aggregations and cites filings can produce the first draft in a sitting and rerun it on demand.
Estimated outcome
This is an estimate computed only from the assumptions you enter, using 4.33 weeks per month and 1,650 working hours per full-time equivalent. It does not include DataGardener MCP costs and is not a guarantee of savings. Validate the acceleration share with a pilot before relying on it.

Small companies may file abridged accounts without turnover. DataGardener exposes what was filed and flags where a figure is not disclosed; the agent can use employee counts or balance-sheet size as a proxy.
Yes. The same question, asked again, runs against the latest data. Keep the prompt and the agent reproduces the analysis.
