So I'm not sure what you mean. Many businesses tell analysts where to look and what they need from the analyst. They point, and we react. This inherently means that analytst' ability (or motivation) to be proactive, rather than reactive, is hampered, or in some sad cases, nonexistent. Yes, being a part of useful results is nice. But causing them is better. And for the record, I like beagles. The dogs, I mean.

They drive for useful resutls, and are not just opportunists, like wolves. But they are also first to jump on any glimmer of an opportunity as well as create them. You are wrong about beagles.
