What we can say — and what we can't.
Some of how we work is deliberately ours to keep. These answers are complete for deciding whether to talk to us; the rest is a conversation.
About the pulse check
What is a pulse check?
A preliminary reading of a company's AI performance, prepared from publicly available information. It's a conversation-opener, not a benchmark and not a score.
Who sees the reading?
Only you. It goes to the person who requested it, isn't published, and doesn't become a page anywhere. What you do with it is yours.
How accurate can it be from public information?
Honest answer: it's directional. It shows where an outside view finds signals worth a closer look. The full benchmark is where evidence replaces inference.
About the benchmark
What is the benchmark?
An evidence-based assessment of how AI is performing in a business, scored in four dimensions: Revenue Growth, Margin Expansion, AI & Data Foundation, and Risk Mitigation.
How do you collect the evidence?
In short: only with the company's consent, under an agreement the company signs. The detail of how is ours — it's the part of the work we've spent the most time getting right. If you want the specifics of how your data is handled, our privacy notice has them.
How long does a benchmark take?
A benchmark runs on a defined calendar with a start and a date. We'll agree both with you up front.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is agreed per company and depends on size and scope. We'll put numbers in front of you in a conversation, not on a webpage.
Is a score comparable between companies?
Comparability is the point — the same dimensions and the same benchmark for every company. What you compare is your choice to make, not ours: a parent sees their portfolio; a company sees its own record over time.
What do we have to do?
Far less than you'd fear. A benchmark is built to read how the business already runs — nothing to install, no long surveys.
About trust
What happens to our data?
It's handled under an agreement the company signs, with consent before anything is read. We don't sell it, don't use it for advertising, and don't train general AI models on it. More in our Privacy notice.
Who else sees our results?
The company sees everything. Its owner (the PE firm or enterprise) sees the company's results under their agreement — and the company can always see what the owner sees, so there's never a hidden copy. Anything shared between peer companies happens only by choice, never by default.
Are you certified?
We maintain a security program aligned with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 and are working toward certification. We'll say "certified" when it's true and not before.
