About the Dúnedain
We are a group of people renowned for our exceptional skills, wisdom and long life. The Dúnedain were described by author J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings. For centuries, theology and myths have described people with remarkably long, very productive lives. More recently, the book Super Agers describes medical science on extending longevity.
Our primary approach to contribute to clients' successful business outcomes is through annual subscriptions that include weekly research, quarterly deep dives, marketing sizing, and vendor market shares.
We are happy to participate when your organization has an in-person or online day to brief industry analysts.
These are research briefs and user surveys marked "Sponsored by" with your organization name, which are available for use in your lead generation and customer marketing. DR works with your firm to select the research area and scope.
In 1H 2025, sponsored research included annual customer surveys for AI+BI vendor Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and flexible work platform provider Instawork.
For vendors, the DR team including our lead analyst Brett Sheppard is available for reviews and feedback about your planned and upcoming product releases, to give an expert independent point of view on product features, user interfaces, and product marketing.
For enterprises, government agencies, and nonprofits, we are available to provide expert guidance and information sharing on the best practices to adapt your enterprise and data architectures to the AI era.
