😫 Problem – Good business research is slow, costly, and inaccessible

Investors, consultants, bankers, and strategy teams routinely sink many hours a week into researching companies, markets, and products. This work is time-sensitive, exhausting, and crucial to business decisions like company acquisitions or pricing model changes. At large firms, big chunks of this work is offshored to external providers, who charge thousands of dollars per project and are often slow and low-quality.

💥 Solution – Just make Meticulate do it

Meticulate uses LLM pipelines to emulate an analyst research process. For example… to manually build a competitive landscape like this one, an analyst needs to spend ~2 hours digging through company websites, forums, and market reports. Meticulate replicates this same process of discovering, researching, and mapping companies using ~1500 LLM calls and ~500 webpages and database pulls – delivering results 50x faster at 50x less cost.

As Meticulate produces hundreds of reports for users, it also tracks user interactions and feedback, slowly accumulating a library of trusted business research that helps it upgrade quality over time.

Use our product today to automatically:

  • ✅ Build a competitive landscape
  • ✅ Populate a market map
  • 🚧 Custom-profile a group of companies
  • 🚧 Build a bottom-up market sizing

⚽ Putting our backgrounds to work

Wilbur and Joseph have been close friends for 15 years after growing up two blocks away from each other in Houston, Texas. Wilbur is a prior McKinsey consultant who’s suffered through hundreds of hours of business research, and Joseph is a prior startup engineer & NLP speech scientist. Both of us have technical backgrounds and are extremely excited to be building at a time like this.

👥 The future of accessible business research

The big-picture context and “fuzziness” associated with business analysis have made real automation impossible until now – LLMs enable us to go beyond productivity software and do real work. Investment and consulting teams can now offload big chunks of tedious work, meaning better investment decisions and better client service.

Over time, Meticulate will bring the horsepower of a professional consulting firm at the convenience of a Microsoft Office license, serving not only major financial institutions but also the thousands of boutique consultancies, banks, and strategy teams that don’t have the budget for large analyst teams. In other words… as research automation matures, $1M investment decisions can now get the same level of research support previously reserved for $100M investments.
