The Problem

Why do most approaches fall short?

You have a specific question that doesn't fit a standard report type. A potential acquisition target, a new market you're evaluating, a technology decision with millions on the line. Traditional consultants charge $50,000+ and take months. Online research tools give you raw data with no analysis.

Our Approach

How do we solve it differently?

Tell us what you need to know. We scope the research, identify the relevant data sources, and deliver a thorough analysis: verified data, cross-referenced findings, and specific recommendations. Same multi-agent verification. Same source transparency. Custom-scoped to your exact question.

Common Questions

Custom Research FAQ

What is a due diligence report?
A due diligence report is a thorough investigation of a company before an acquisition, investment, or partnership. It covers financial health, legal exposure, operational risks, market position, customer sentiment, and competitive standing. We pull data from SEC filings (143M records), consumer complaints (13.8M CFPB records), government contracts (108.8M USAspending records), patent filings, litigation databases, and consumer discussions to build a picture no financial model can capture.
How do you price custom research?
Fixed quotes based on scope. Quick scans start at $500. Standard custom reports run $2,000-$5,000. Complex multi-faceted research like M&A due diligence or market entry analysis: $5,000-$25,000. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You know the cost before we start.
What's the turnaround time?
Quick scans: 2-4 hours. Standard reports: 1-3 business days. Complex research: 3-7 business days. Rush delivery available for most projects. For M&A due diligence with a deal timeline, we can mobilize within 24 hours.
What data sources do you use for due diligence?
SEC EDGAR filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, proxy statements), USPTO patent and trademark databases, OSHA safety records, FDA enforcement actions, CFPB consumer complaints, USAspending government contracts, PPP loan data, FEC political contributions, state business registrations, and 20 years of consumer discussion data. That's 430+ million records across 23 federal databases, plus current web intelligence.
Can you handle confidential or sensitive research?
Yes. We sign NDAs before any sensitive engagement. Research runs on secure infrastructure and findings are never shared with any other party. For M&A research, we implement code names and restricted access. We've handled pre-acquisition research, litigation support, and investor due diligence under strict confidentiality.
What can you research that we can't do ourselves?
You can Google a company name. We can cross-reference that company across SEC filings, patent databases, consumer complaints, hiring patterns, government contracts, political contributions, OSHA violations, and 20 years of consumer discussions in under 48 hours. The difference is depth and speed. One analyst doing manual research takes weeks. Our system does it in hours.
