What it does

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
