What the output actually looks like.

Sample

Morning briefing, 12 names

Headlines with company attribution, filing alerts with page references, pre-market movers with 30-word context notes.

Sample

Earnings triage memo

Management guidance changes highlighted, three key analyst questions extracted from the transcript, consensus bridge table updated.

Sample

Peer set update

Five-company comp table across revenue growth, EBITDA margin, EV/EBITDA, with a three-paragraph narrative on divergences.

Sample

Earnings preview

Revenue and EPS estimate vs. consensus, three key questions for the call, one-page model update.

Built for funds where output quality is non-negotiable.

The operator model: every output is reviewed by a human with role-relevant experience before delivery. This isn’t a chatbot.

The audit trail: every action logged, every output timestamped. If compliance asks what generated a research note, there’s a clear answer.

Data security: credentials stored in isolated vaults with scoped permissions. Nothing leaks sideways between clients.

The trial structure: first month at no charge on a defined brief, so you can benchmark quality against your own standards before committing.

Before you commit to the headcount, run one month of output.

We’ll work through a defined brief from your actual coverage universe for the first month at no cost. You benchmark the output against your standards. If it meets them, you enter a 12-month arrangement at a fixed monthly fee. If it doesn’t, you’ve lost nothing.
