Competitor monitoring that ends the six-hour reading day.
We build AI systems that watch your clients and their competitors — filings, news, and job moves across thousands of companies — and deliver a 7am brief to each consultant, so your firm hears the news before the client calls.

Six hours of reading a day. The executive moves still slip through.
From the consulting leaders we have sat with: partners and research teams at professional-services firms, where every consultant covers a dozen or more clients and somebody spends the day reading the news by hand.
Six to eight hours a day, reading
One researcher sweeps the news sites twice a day — client by client, competitor by competitor — so the partners don’t have to. That is a full working day spent reading, before any advising happens.
Fifteen clients, fifteen streams
A partner covering 15 clients does not want 15 separate alert emails. The news arrives per company, scattered across inboxes and terminals, and stitching it into one picture is manual work nobody has time for.
The terminal used as a newsreader
The firm pays for market-data seats that mostly get opened to read client news — an expensive stand-in for AI news monitoring that could run itself overnight.
The filing nobody saw
An 8-K lands with an executive departure or a say on pay vote result, and it reaches your consultant when a client mentions it — or when somebody remembers to run the search.
The client calls first
The worst version of the morning: the client mentions their competitor’s announcement and your consultant is hearing it for the first time. The firm’s value is knowing the client’s world — and the world moved overnight.
SEC filing alerts are free. Knowing what changed is not.
What the manual way looks like at a professional-services firm whose consultants each cover a dozen-plus clients, with a watchlist spanning thousands of public companies. Your numbers will differ — tracing one week of the reading puts figures on yours before any AI gets built.

A media monitoring service built on your watchlist, not a keyword feed.
No new system for your consultants to learn. The watching your best researcher does by hand becomes the system — AI reads everything overnight, and each consultant starts the day with one brief.
- 01
Map the watchlist
Your clients, their competitors, the sites and filings that matter — the list lives in an editable database your team controls, not inside a vendor’s keyword setup.
- 02
Encode what counts as news
Executive changes, comp disclosures, board updates, M&A, quarterly earnings, SEC filings — which items matter for which consultant, documented with your team and yours to keep.
- 03
AI reads everything overnight
Filings, news, and job moves across the whole watchlist are read and summarized, then routed — each consultant gets one personalized brief at 7am, with links to drill down and replies that tune tomorrow’s.
A Capital IQ alternative that isn’t another seat license.
If your partners pay for a market-data terminal and mostly use it to read client news, the alternative is not another seat license — it is your own feed. The terminals sell everyone the same seats; they cannot know your client list, each consultant’s coverage, or what counts as news for your practice.
We build the AI system that watches your watchlist — filings, news, and executive moves — running in your cloud, on rules you own. Your consultants keep the terminal if they want it; they just stop spending the day inside it.
If I’m on fifteen clients, I don’t want fifteen emails.
Asked by leaders weighing competitive intelligence services.
The straight answers, before you book anything.
Competitor monitoring is systematically watching the companies that matter to your business — their news, filings, executive moves, and announcements — so your team hears about changes when they happen, not when a client mentions them. For a professional-services firm the watchlist is the client list plus each client’s competitors, and competitive monitoring at that scale is an AI job: the system reads everything overnight and each consultant starts the day with one brief.
Media monitoring tools are built for PR teams tracking brand mentions — keyword feeds, sentiment dashboards, seat licenses. They do not know your client list or which of a client’s competitors matters to which consultant. We build the AI monitoring on your watchlist instead: client news alerts and competitor news alerts routed per person, one brief each morning — not another dashboard someone has to check.
Yes — that is the part free SEC filing alerts do not do. A free tool emails a link when a company files; the system we build reads the filing itself — the 8-K items where an executive departure or a say on pay vote result lands — and tells your consultants what changed in the morning brief. It is SEC filing monitoring as a service: the reading included, not just the notification.
Traditional competitive intelligence services sell research projects: an analyst team interviews, reads, and delivers a report on a cycle. Useful for a deep dive — but it does not watch. We build the always-on version: AI reads the filings and the news every night across your whole coverage universe, so the intelligence is current every morning instead of commissioned every quarter.
Because an RSS reader is the halfway fix: it gathers the feeds, but a person still does the reading — and the reading is the job. AI news monitoring closes that gap. The system reads every item, decides what matters against your rules, summarizes it, and routes it per consultant, so a six-hour reading day becomes a ten-minute brief.
Same pattern, different buyer. Portfolio monitoring serves private-equity funds — AI reads portco bank feeds and reports into a weekly liquidity view. This page serves professional-services firms watching clients and competitors: filings, news, and executive moves. Both run on the same build — your rules encoded, AI doing the reading, people getting only what needs them. The portfolio-monitoring workflow is covered on its own page.
