I didn't say to use espionage. I would say that really is "negative." Espionage, i think, is stealing or spying on other teams. IE: Finding out the design on another team before ship dates. I don't think that Intelligence has the same tone that espionage does.

Yes Orge, I do know that sport teams 'scout' but... they scout looking for new players. However, as I said before, in business they don't scout (or look to take other's products) they gather intelligence about other company's products and try to learn from them to make thier product better.

As i said in my first post, not only would changing the name make it sound cooler, but it also would describe what we do better.
