One page, with sources
Says what it couldn't find
Local rules, in plain words

Looks into competitors, suppliers, prices and local rules, then hands you a one-page brief. Every fact comes with the link where it was found and the date it was checked.

What it handles

  • Competitor prices and services from public sources
  • Supplier comparisons on price and terms
  • Permit and licensing rules from official sites
  • Background on a business before you meet
  • Local market questions, like rent ranges
  • Repeat checks on a schedule you set (on request)

What waits for your OK

  • Sharing a brief with anyone but you
  • Any action it suggests, like changing your prices

What it never does

  • Promise a price, date or time you haven't set
  • Spend your money or agree to a charge
  • Pretend to be a person. If asked, it says it's an AI assistant
  • Guess. When it isn't sure, it hands the question to you
  • Contact a competitor or pose as a customer

How businesses use it

HVAC or plumbing

You don't know what others charge.

Compares public prices from local competitors in one table, with links.

Property management

Rental rules change and you hear secondhand.

Sums up the city or county page in plain words, with the link and the date.

Retail shop

Choosing a supplier takes an afternoon of calls.

Compares the suppliers you name on the prices and terms they post, and lists what it couldn't find.

Real estate agent

You walk into a listing meeting cold.

Pulls public sales and neighborhood facts into a short brief before you go.

How it works, step by stepTap to enlarge
Diagram of how the Research Analyst works, step by step. 1, the agent: reads the question, your area and your names list; 2, the agent: is the question clear enough to research?; 3, your tools: checks public websites and official pages; 4, the agent: keeps the link and date checked for every fact; 5, the agent: writes a one-page brief, plus what it could not find; 6, the agent: checks the question came from your own address; 7, your tools: brief emailed to you with every source; 8, you: you decide what to act on and forward it; 9, the agent: runs repeat checks and notes what changed (on request); 10, the agent: adds briefs and changes to your weekly report (on request). Nothing sends without your OK.
When something is offTap to enlarge
Diagram of what the Research Analyst does when something is off. Question is unclear or too broad: drafts one short question back to you, for example which three competitors to check. Sources disagree or look out of date (on request): shows both, each with its link and date, and says which looks newer. A legal or tax question (on request): sums up the public page in plain words and says to check the decision with your lawyer or accountant. Prices only by phone or behind a login (on request): lists it as not found. Repeat check finds no change (on request): sends one line: checked, no change, with the date.

Decisions

  • Repeat checks and how often (on request)On request

  • Who else may see briefsOptional

You never send passwords by email or chat. You enter any login your roles need on a secure page we email you. It goes straight to your own private setup; we never see it. Each role gets its own work account, with its own email and calendar seat, or you invite it the way you'd invite a new employee. You can remove it any time.

Questions

How do I know it's right?

Every fact has a link and the date it was checked. If something can't be confirmed, the brief says so.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. It sums up public information so you can ask better questions. Check legal or tax decisions with your lawyer or accountant.

Can it see private information?

No. It only uses public sources like websites, listings and government pages. It never contacts anyone or poses as a customer.
