FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

WHITNEY ECONOMICS LAUNCHES RISK ANALYSIS & MITIGATION STRATEGY CONSULTING SERVICES    

Global Leader in Cannabis Data, Insights and Economic Analysis Now Offers Risk Consulting to Banks, Private Investors and Commercial Operators  

Portland, OR – July 23, 2025Whitney Economics (WE), a global leader in cannabis and hemp business consulting, data, and economic research, today announced it has launched consulting services in risk analysis and mitigation.  

“Our services help clients identify key risks and opportunities and provide direction toward a successful future,” Whitney Economics founder Beau Whitney said. “Enabling investors to make informed, data-driven investment decisions,”  

The company’s goal is to help clients maximize the value of their portfolios and provide insight into current and potential risks to investments. As part of the process, Whitney Economics leverages its data, cannabis operational experience and analytical expertise to evaluate companies seeking investment monies on behalf of the investment community. WE challenges their assumptions, assesses the operational potential, critiques the strategy and determines the viability of the investment and its risks.  

The risk analysis/mitigation process includes:  

·      Data analysis that helps identify risks in the existing operation and assess the probability of future performance

·      Outlining market strategies when entering new markets and expanding into existing ones

·      Evaluation of the real value of the investment to avoid throwing good money after bad

·      Identifying additional opportunities, discovering new investment strategies and refining exit strategies  

Additionally, WE can help companies leverage vetted data and analysis and avoid having to take pitch data at face value, as well as reducing costs by providing access to third-party, neutral subject-matter experts as a built-in part of the services.  

“Loss prevention pays for itself,” Whitney said. “If we can help reduce risk and avoid exposure to losses, our fees will pay for themselves.”  

Along with the risk analysis of individual investment opportunities, WE is also launching individual country risk analysis reporting, providing a close examination of the legal, political, regulatory and business risk factors and the environment for conducting cannabis operations within that country. This will include importing, exporting and domestic operations. WE will first examine the 27 countries in the EU and then expand these reports for Africa and South America. The reports will be refreshed annually.  

Whitney commented: “This is truly an international marketplace, and businesses need to know how to navigate not only within the boundaries of their country, but also throughout the global ecosystem.”
