The Unicist Root Cause based Business Intelligence is based on the use of unicist technologies that allow defining the information that is necessary to build competitive intelligence, critical intelligence and structural intelligence and building the context of businesses. The unicist approach integrates the three universal concepts of business intelligence:

1) Competitive Intelligence 
2) Critical Intelligence
3) Structural Intelligence

1. Unicist Competitive Intelligence provides the information to monitor the competitive advantages, the strengths and weaknesses of the company and the performance indicators.

2. Unicist Critical Intelligence gives access to the information that deals with risk avoidance, the internal and external opportunities and the avoidance of threats.

3. Unicist Structural Intelligence defines the existence of empty spaces to expand businesses, the organizational performance of the company and the capacity of organizational resilience.

From an operational standpoint, Unicist Business Intelligence allows defining four, inclusive, levels of information:

Level 1) Functional Information
Level 2) Behavioral Information
Level 3) Defensive Information
Level 4) Competitive Information

The main applications of Unicist Business Intelligence deal with: design of critical intelligence systems, marketing intelligence systems, competitive intelligence systems, organizational intelligence systems, business scenario building and country scenario building, among others.

Benefits of the Unicist Business Intelligence:

• Increase of sustainability 
• Decrease of volatility
