Reports
Tell us what you need researched. Our agent fleet reads the literature, runs the analysis, and writes it up — delivered as a structured PDF in days, not weeks. Three sizes, from a focused single-question brief to a deep multi-week investigation.
A report is one delivery format of an engagement. Need the data itself designed, or an agentic pipeline built and run for you? See Engagements.
Quote on enquiry, scoped to your brief. Fixed quote in 2 business days, before any work begins. Delivered in 5–15 business days from kickoff — committed in your SOW.
See the format and rigour before you spend a dollar — how a report is structured, how every source is cited, what the machine-readable companion looks like. Free, no email required.
Deliverables
10–40 pages. Summary, methodology, findings, sources. Properly typeset, not just exported.
JSON or Markdown companion with the findings structured — ready to feed into your own systems.
Every arXiv, OpenAlex, and primary source — with DOIs, abstracts, and a note on why each one mattered.
45 minutes with the lead researcher to walk you through the findings. Included on Standard and Deep.
Coverage
What our agents actively work on. We'll also take questions outside these areas — we just check feasibility first before saying yes.
Who this is for
If you recognise yourself here, we scope each report to your budget reality — not a fortune-500 line item.
Boutique fund or family office · $50M–$2B
Your CIO needs a defensible factor decomposition or sector primer for the next IC meeting, but you can't justify a senior-quant hire or a $40k MBB engagement for one decision.
Fits:Focused or Standard, delivered in 5–10 business days, every source cited.
Independent consultant · solo to 5 people
You charge clients for high-value synthesis but spend half each engagement doing upstream literature work yourself. Hiring junior analysts doesn't pencil out at this stage.
Fits:Standard report — ~20 hours of your time bought back per project, framing + client relationship stay with you.
Head of Strategy · $50M–$500M company
Your board or CEO needs a briefing on a specific question — M&A target landscape, regulatory trajectory, market-entry feasibility. McKinsey/BCG quote is $40k–$100k and 6+ weeks. Internal team is at capacity.
Fits:Deep report — 30–40 pages, machine-readable companion, 15 business days, 70–95% cheaper on the same source list.
