Test hypotheses and produce decision-grade entity dossiers
Best for
Investors and operators who need decision-grade entity research with hypothesis testing and red-flag scoring before meetings or deals.
Inputs
- · Entity (company, person, nonprofit, government org)
- · User's hypothesis (what they believe upfront and want to verify/disprove)
- · Optional BYOK MCPs (LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Apollo, Pitchbook, SimilarWeb)
Outputs
- · Editable Word document (.docx) with verified hypothesis verdict
- · Identity facts (legal name, leadership, location, funding)
- · 12-month activity timeline (key events, milestones)
- · Network signals (connections, partnerships, co-mentions)
- · Reputation signals (media mentions, awards, controversies)
- · Red flags (structured risk factors)
- · 3-5 conversation hooks tied to specific findings
- · Source-provenance audit log
Requires
- · WebSearch + WebFetch (free)
- · Free APIs: SEC EDGAR, GitHub, ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer
- · Optional BYOK MCPs: LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Apollo, Pitchbook, SimilarWeb
Preconditions
- · User must state hypothesis upfront (verified vs confirmed bias resistance)
- · Entity must be identifiable by name or URL
- · Public information must exist (dossier is for public entities, not private persons)
Failure modes
- · Hypothesis confirmation bias can bias search (mitigated by forcing upfront statement)
- · Red flags may be over-weighted if reputation sources are limited
- · Conversation hooks may miss personal relationship history (public signals only)
Trust signals
- · Source spec in PR #657 (megaprompts/12-dossier-megaprompt.md)
- · Hypothesis-testing variant forces upfront statement (bias resistance)
- · Free APIs (SEC EDGAR, GitHub, ProPublica) are production integrations
- · DOCX output is editable and source-tracked
- · Conversation hooks are tied to specific findings, not generic talking points
