Illustrative case study · Marketplaces · Fictional company
A services marketplace finds that trust—not supply—is limiting a new city launch.
A sample FireSquid engagement for Junction Market, a fictional organization created to demonstrate the format.
Transparent by design. Fictional names, sample dashboards, awards, testimonials, and results are marked as illustrative. They show the shape of an engagement—not verified customer claims.
A decision without enough evidence.
Provider counts looked healthy, but first-time buyers viewed listings without requesting work.
A bounded intelligence loop.
- Defined the decision, audience, exclusions, and success measure for marketplaces.
- Built an evidence map around seller or provider acquisition and buyer demand movement.
- Liquidity diagnosis: Separate supply, demand, discovery, pricing, and trust constraints by market.
- Participant journeys: Observe onboarding, listing, matching, purchase, fulfillment, and dispute flows.
