What it answers.
- Which titles are climbing the UK and US ebook charts this week, and which are slipping?
- Are readers who shelve this novel going on to finish it, and is its rating rising or falling?
- How many new German titles appeared this week, and what was the median cover price in each subject?
- If this novel wins the prize next month, how far could look-ups, chart place and loans move, and for how long?
- Does a run of rising shelf-adds lead a title onto the ebook charts?
- Which UK bookshops and small presses that we supply were dissolved this month?
Who uses it.
Publishers' sales and marketing teams
Reprint, cut the ebook price or spend more? Market by market: still climbing, and do readers who shelve it finish it?
Editors who acquire translations
Which German, French or Japanese books to translate? Each new edition the week it appears, then its home charts and look-ups.
Film and television scouts
Which novels to put before producers? Which ones readers finish and rate well, and which older books are suddenly looked up again.
Library acquisitions librarians
How many print and digital copies? Whether digital-library views and loans still build, and how long prizes keep similar books in demand.
Credit controllers at book distributors, wholesalers and printers
Keep supplying on credit? An alert when a UK bookshop or small press is dissolved, plus new book businesses weekly.
What we model, test and run.
Shortlist on a climbing title
A prize shortlist or adaptation lands on a book already climbing, with shelf-adds and library views above usual. Caught as it builds, with what it likely means for chart place, loans and reprints.
Same book, two markets
A book high in the US ebook charts but absent from the UK's, or a foreign hit with no English edition. Does the gap beat rights, translation and lead time?
Attention fades, loans linger
After a major prize: how fast author look-ups fade, and how long library loans stay high.
Reprint stress run
Demand through a prize, an adaptation or a fade, set against your stock and printer lead times. Out: weeks to stock-out and late-reprint risk.
Title watch engine
Watches every title, chart, new edition and book-trade company on your list. Reprint requests, purchase orders, promotions and credit holds raised. Runs in your systems, on your rules.
What we build for you.
Chart ladder
Top 50 paid and free ebooks and top audiobooks, in the UK, US and beyond. Daily moves, days on chart, UK–US rank gap. Rank, not unit sales.
New-edition radar
New editions in Germany, France and Japan, matched by ISBN, filtered by publisher, subject and language. German title counts and median price by subject.
Reader gauge
For each new release: readers who shelved it, the share who finished, and a rating needle drifting up or down. Totals only, never individuals.
Library demand projection
Digital-library views and major US city loans projected three months ahead, redrawn when a prize, adaptation or author's death lands.
Prize and adaptation lift model
Every shortlist, win and adaptation marked on a book's timeline, with look-ups, chart place and library demand before and after. Each prize's real lift shown.
Delivered to you.
Weekly title readings and a desk assistant
Weekly: each title labelled rising, peaking or fading in the UK, US, Europe and Japan, with evidence. Plus an assistant in your chat.
Translation scouting briefs
New German, French and Japanese titles gaining ground at home: week of appearance, chart record, look-up trend.
Comparable-title briefs
For a book proposal: each cited comparable title's chart, reading and library record side by side, with a likely first-year outcome.
Book-trade company watch
An alert when a UK publisher or bookshop you supply is dissolved, plus monthly book-business formations and closures.
We build the intelligence.
