Third Eye FAQs
Strategic Oversight Questions & Answers
What is Third Eye?
Third Eye is an independent strategic oversight and risk intelligence service. Unlike traditional consulting or compliance services, we provide discreet, unbiased research and analysis to help founders, boards, and capital providers make informed decisions about business relationships, partnerships, and strategic opportunities.
How is Third Eye different from traditional due diligence?
Traditional due diligence focuses on financial, legal, and compliance verification. Third Eye goes beyond this to assess strategic positioning, relationship dynamics, and systemic risks that conventional approaches often miss. We don't replace legal or financial due diligence—we complement it with strategic intelligence.

How do you ensure confidentiality?
Confidentiality is our core value. All client information is protected by:
- • Comprehensive non-disclosure agreements
- • End-to-end encrypted communications

We never discuss client matters with third parties and maintain separate, secure files for each engagement.

How is Third Eye priced?
Our pricing is engagement-specific and depends on scope, complexity, and timeline. We provide transparent pricing based on the strategic value delivered rather than hourly rates. Typical engagements range from AED 50,000 to AED 500,000+ depending on the depth and breadth of analysis required.
We discuss pricing during the initial consultation and provide detailed proposals tailored to your specific needs.
What are your legal and ethical standards?
We operate within strict legal and ethical boundaries:
- • All research is legal and ethical
- • No deceptive practices or misrepresentation
- • Respect for privacy and business relationships
- • Compliance with UAE and international regulations
- • Professional indemnity and liability insurance
What is your success rate or track record?
While we cannot disclose specific client engagements due to confidentiality, our approach has helped clients:
- • Avoid partnerships that later failed or became problematic
- • Identify strategic opportunities others missed
- • Mitigate risks before they became crises
- • Make more confident strategic decisions
Our value lies in providing the strategic clarity that prevents costly mistakes and enables confident decision-making.
Do you only work in the UAE?
While we have deep expertise in the UAE and GCC markets, our services can extend globally. We have experience with international business relationships, cross-border investments, and global strategic partnerships. Our GCC focus gives us unique insights into regional dynamics that are valuable even for global engagements.
