Acuity Market Intelligence works with technology innovators, enterprise leaders, forward-thinking policymakers, and savvy investors to help them anticipate and navigate market disruption at the speed of AI.
Data-driven and research-obsessed, we provide independent and unbiased analysis of where identity and trust markets are headed, not just where they’ve been.
Our approach: Rigorous Intuition. We build from bottom-up data and conservative models, then apply 25 years of market judgment to deliver analysis you can defend in any boardroom.
We advise on strategic market and business development, competitive positioning, technology adoption, and industry transformation — translating complex technological change into practical business strategy.
Private executive briefings for leadership teams, boards and investors, plus keynotes and expert panels on digital identity, deepfakes, AI-driven fraud and agentic AI.
Built for your audience. Every briefing and talk is tailored to the people in the room and the decisions in front of them.
For 25 years, Acuity has been at the forefront of complex identity technology markets, with a depth of insight that is simply unavailable elsewhere. As agentic AI industrializes fraud, that perspective is more critical than ever for any organization navigating today’s threat landscape.

Market focus
Where trust, identity, and emerging technology collide.
The organizations that thrive in the AI economy will be the ones that can establish, preserve, and scale trust. That’s where we focus.
Biometrics
From fingerprints to faces to palms, we’ve anticipated every major shift in biometrics for 25 years, with a global reputation for accurate data and forecasts.
Digital Identity
The trust infrastructure of the AI economy: proving who, or what, is on the other side of every interaction, online and in person.
Deepfakes and Synthetic Identity
AI-driven impersonation, deepfakes, and synthetic identities are rewriting the rules of fraud, security, and trust. We track and anticipate the threats, and identify the defenses that work.
Financial Services
Banks, payments, and fintech are on the front line of AI-driven fraud. We help them navigate the identity and trust technologies that matter, and build long-term resilience.
AI Governance, Privacy and Compliance
Aligning technology, policy, governance, and risk to preserve trust as regulation races to keep up with AI.
Fraud Prevention and Cybersecurity
AI is industrializing fraud at a scale and speed legacy defenses were never built for. Fraud prevention, security, and trust infrastructure now have to work as one.
Agentic AI
When software acts on our behalf, who, or what, is it? Identity, authorization, and accountability for the age of AI agents.
