Is ApexHierarchy worth running as a client service?
ApexHierarchy is viable for agencies selling competitive intelligence, stakeholder mapping, and due diligence research because it produces citation-grounded, comparable power profiles with PDF and watchlist outputs. What remains unknown is whether the economics work: the lowest paid-plan price, actual labor per deliverable, client price, and expected volume are not supplied, so ROI cannot be modeled from the available evidence.
