What answers look like

Named, linked, or left out.

  • Five companies, one answer. A buying question usually comes back with a handful of names and nothing else.
  • A link is not a mention. Some answers name a company and stop. Some also link its site. We count those separately.
  • The sixth line is empty. When you are not in the answer, there is nothing to click and nothing to compare.

Pages a Monday brief might name

Usually a page that never states a fact the buyer asked for.

  • The loan product page
  • The rates page
  • The eligibility page
  • The branch or region page

A missing mention alone is never the reason. We read the live page first.

How a pilot starts

Here's how the first month goes.

  1. Week 1

    Before you pay: agree the 50 questions

    We settle the 50 questions and the five competitors with your team on a 30-minute call, starting from the draft we built from the questions you sent. They go into an order with the date of everything below. Week 1 is not billed.

  2. Week 2

    First 450 answers

    All three services get the questions for the first time. You see where you're named and where you're missing.

  3. Week 3

    First brief, first fix

    One page to fix lands on Monday. Your team reviews it and publishes, and we're on the weekly call if anything gets stuck.

  4. Week 4

    We ask again

    We confirm the page is live and run all 450 again. What moved and what didn’t goes in the report.

Week 1 is not billed. The questions and every date above are settled first, and your first charge lands when collection starts in week 2, so the 14-day refund window opens a week before your first brief rather than closing before it.

$990 a month. Billed monthly, cancel whenever you like. If you cancel within 14 days of the first payment, we refund that payment.

Questions

Asked by teams in this industry.

We have only run a study of our own in HR software. There is no count of this industry yet, and we will not present one as if there were. See what we did count →

How we measure → Glossary →

Everything we publish goes through compliance. Does that work?

Yes. We hand you a draft. Your review decides what actually goes live.

Can we avoid publishing rates?

Yes. A range, a decision time, or an eligibility line is often the missing fact.

Do you connect to our systems?

No. We ask from the outside and keep the answers.

What if an answer is wrong about our terms?

That is exactly what the twenty company questions are for.
