- Company Sentiment Analysis
Consumer and investor sentiment tracking for specific companies: brand perception, product satisfaction, employee morale, and competitive positioning from real discussions.
- Investment Due Diligence
Deep consumer data analysis for investment targets: customer satisfaction trends, complaint patterns, competitive threats, and brand health metrics that financial statements don't reveal.
- Retail Investor Sentiment
Track retail investor discussions, consensus shifts, and crowd sentiment across investing communities, validated against historical price movements.
- Sector & Industry Analysis
Consumer spending signals, category trend detection, and competitive dynamics analysis across any sector, data-driven market intelligence for portfolio positioning.
- Risk Signal Detection
Early warning system for rising consumer complaints, regulatory exposure, reputation risks, and competitive disruption signals that can show up before financial results do.
How it works
- Step 1Define the Target
Specify companies, sectors, or investment themes you want analyzed. We'll tailor the research to your clients' portfolio needs.
- Step 2Alternative Data Collection
Consumer sentiment, investor discussions, regulatory filings, hiring signals, patent data, and web analytics aggregated across verified government and public data sources.
- Step 3Cross-Validated Analysis
Multiple AI agents independently analyze findings and cross-reference against financial filings for signal quality and accuracy.
- Step 4Advisor-Ready Report
Delivered under your brand with practical findings, confidence levels, and specific implications for investment or advisory decisions.
Scope, methods and delivery
The problem we address
Every financial advisor has access to the same Bloomberg terminals, the same Morningstar reports, and the same analyst estimates. So what makes your research different from every other advisor's? Meanwhile, what consumers and retail investors actually think about companies sits scattered across government records, complaint databases and public discussion, and pulling it together is slow work.
Our approach
We produce white-labeled reports that complement your existing financial data: consumer sentiment, retail investor discussions, and competitive positioning. We tie findings to public sources so your team can assess them alongside financial filings and market data.
Why financial advisors need a research stack that handles compliance
Independent RIAs and broker-dealers face a structural mismatch: clients want MBB-grade investment research and economic insight, but the firm's research budget can support a CFA, not a research department.
Buying off-the-shelf analyst reports from FactSet or Bloomberg gives generic content every other firm also has. Producing custom research in-house creates compliance risk if writeups veer into recommendation territory without proper review.
What we deliver, with compliance in mind
Our financial-advisor engagements deliver three product types under your firm's brand:
- Custom market and sector research for client portfolios — written as informational analysis, never as recommendation, ready for your CCO's review
- Competitive analysis on rival advisors and product providers — fee-structure mapping, custodian comparisons, value-prop teardowns
- Regulatory monitoring — SEC enforcement, FINRA enforcement, state insurance commissioner actions, and Form ADV trends across competitor advisors
Every research deliverable cross-references SEC filings, FDIC institution data, IRS Form 990 disclosures, FINRA BrokerCheck data, and an archive of consumer-side advisor reviews.
Verification-as-a-service pairs naturally for firms that want AI-drafted client communications fact-checked before send. The SEC Marketing Rule expects advisers to have a reasonable basis for the material facts in their advertisements, so claims in those drafts need checking.
Where this fits
This works for RIAs in the $100M-$5B AUM range looking to deepen client engagement without proportional research-team cost, broker-dealer networks supporting independent advisors with branded research, and family offices needing white-label analyst capability.
It doesn't fit large RIAs with established research departments — those are usually better served by augmenting via our continuous-intelligence subscription rather than replacing the function.
