Free pilot — no credit card, no obligation

Your thesis, run against a full vertical.
The first 20 qualified companies are free.

We configure the complete screening run for your target vertical — the same setup a paying engagement gets — then stop it as soon as the first 20 companies clear your criteria. You receive them with full signal transcripts, plus a data-backed projection of what the full run would yield. Then you decide.

The process

How the pilot works

A pilot is not a demo dataset or a canned sample — it is the first slice of a real production run over your actual vertical, stopped early.

1

You describe the thesis 5 minutes

The vertical, the geography, and the signals that matter to you — in plain language. "Independent industrial calibration labs in the US with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation" is a complete brief. Use the form below; the placeholders show exactly the kind of detail that helps.

2

We configure the full vertical run same day

We pull the complete domain universe for your vertical from our 120M+ classified domains — a full vertical is typically anywhere from a few thousand to several hundred thousand domains (the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering industry alone spans 367,766). The screening pass is configured exactly as it would be for a full engagement: your criteria, our baseline signal framework, plus any custom signals you specified.

3

The run starts — and stops at 20 valid companies free

The pipeline screens domains in random order and halts as soon as 20 companies have cleared your criteria with confirmed evidence. Those 20 land in your inbox with the complete deliverable format: every signal, its confidence, and the verbatim quote behind it — identical to what a full run produces.

4

You get the full-run projection included

Because the pilot is a real slice of the real universe, the qualification rate it observed is measured, not guessed. We extrapolate it for you: "the pilot screened N domains to find your 20 — a full run over the remaining M domains projects to roughly X qualified companies with full signal transcripts." You know the size of the prize before spending anything.

5

You choose how much of the universe you want your budget

Alongside the projection we quote several sizes — the complete run, or defined fractions of it — so you can match scope to budget. Take the full universe, take half, or take a fixed number of companies. Every option ships in the same format as your 20 pilot companies. Or take the 20 and walk away; they are yours either way.

Why it's free

Full-vertical screening is our economic advantage

Our screening pipeline runs at a marginal cost that is a small fraction of analyst-hours — screening an entire vertical of tens of thousands of domains costs us less than a single researcher-day. That economics is the product: it is why we can afford to screen everything instead of sampling, why the pilot costs you nothing, and why full runs are priced well below hand-built target lists.

On the 367,766-domain Mechanical and Industrial Engineering vertical, a full pass projects to roughly 9,900 companies clearing thesis criteria (estimate based on the measured qualification rate, extrapolated to the full set) — a scale of coverage that is simply not economical to reproduce manually.

The instrument

The signals your pilot is screened against

Every pilot starts from our baseline framework of fifteen signals, extracted for every industry from what companies publish about themselves — nothing inferred, nothing bought from data brokers. On top of that we add vertical-specific signals, and you can define your own.

Strategic fit to thesis
Geographic footprint
Service vs product model
Recurring-offering indicators

Bring your own signals. If your thesis turns on something we have never extracted — a specific certification, a service model, an ownership constraint — describe it in the form below. Custom signals are configured into the pilot at no cost; the pilot is precisely where we prove we can read them reliably.
After the pilot

Scale to fit your budget

With the projection in hand, you pick the scope. We quote each option up front — the price depends on the vertical's size and the complexity of your signal set, and every option delivers the identical per-company format you saw in the pilot.

100%
Full run

The complete vertical, every qualified company with full transcripts.

50%
Half universe

The top-ranked half of the projected yield — highest-confidence fits first.

25%
Quarter universe

A focused tranche for a first outreach wave or a proof-of-concept mandate.

N
Fixed number

Name a company count that fits your budget; we quote it exactly.

Ranked delivery means a partial run is never a random slice — you always receive the strongest candidates first. See pricing for reference tiers.

The more precisely you describe the thesis and signals, the sharper your 20 companies. Every placeholder below is a real example you can adapt.

One vertical per pilot. Unsure how big yours is? Check the industry counter first.

Anything we should extract that isn't in our baseline or vertical examples — this is where pilots get interesting.
No credit card. No obligation. The 20 companies are yours whatever you decide.

Twenty companies that cleared your criteria — each with all baseline signals, your custom signals, confidence scores, and the verbatim quote behind every value. Plus the full-run projection with quotes for each scope option. See the format live →

Timing

Run configuration is confirmed within one business day. Pilot results typically follow within two to four business days depending on vertical size and signal complexity.

What we won't do

No "ready to sell" flags, no revenue estimates, no owner profiling, no distress detection — in pilots or anywhere else. If a requested signal crosses our standards, we'll say so and propose a compliant alternative.

The pilot is the proposal

No discovery calls, no slide decks. The first 20 qualified companies and a measured projection of your full universe — then you decide with data.
