Why this edge exists

AI accelerates discovery and synthesis, but decision-makers still need source selection, verification, interviews, confidence labels, and a concise explanation of what the evidence means for their choice.

Who is most likely to pay

Target founders, agencies, investors, and product teams facing a defined decision with a deadline: which segment to test, how competitors position an offer, what customers repeatedly object to, or which assumption requires evidence first.

Package the first result

A decision brief with a bounded question, evidence table, source hierarchy, verified findings, confidence labels, contradictions, and recommended next tests. The output should be useful even when the evidence does not support the buyer's preferred answer.

Run the smallest credible test

  1. Select one recurring decision in a market you understand.
  2. Build a source hierarchy before searching.
  3. Create a sample evidence table from public sources.
  4. Offer a fixed-scope rapid brief to five prospects.
  5. Track claim verification, turnaround, and decision usefulness.
