The Only Copy

YOUR INTELLIGENCE · YOUR COPY · THE ONLY ONE LIKE IT

Be first to know. Be first to call.

You cover a set of accounts. Twice a week, we send a brief on what moved around them — the competitor, regulatory, and market signals that change the call you make — with the reading already done and every item linked to its source.

SAMPLE · PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNER

A national rival launched a loyalty membership in Dunkin's strongest region.

Dunkin' · Trade press

Why it matters to you

A loyalty program in Dunkin's strongest region is a same-store-sales risk, not restaurant news: it pressures repeat-visit frequency and pushes discounting. You raise it with the CEO before it shows in the monthly pack, and you flag the competitive move to your LPs first. You're the board member who saw it coming.

Why it matters to you

A loyalty program in Dunkin's strongest region is a same-store-sales risk, not restaurant news: it pressures repeat-visit frequency and pushes discounting. You raise it with the CEO before it shows in the monthly pack, and you flag the competitive move to your LPs first. You're the board member who saw it coming.

Pet-category spend softened as shoppers traded down to private label.

Petco · Sector data

Why it matters to you

Trade-down to private label pressures mix and margin, not just top-line revenue. You bring it into the next operating review before the quarter explains it for you, and you set the expectation with your LPs early instead of letting a soft print speak first.

New tariff guidance touches Michaels' primary import category.

Michaels · Regulatory docket

Why it matters to you

The tariff category maps straight to Michaels' sourcing and gross margin. You bring the exposure to the board and to your LPs before it hits a P&L, already holding the sourcing and pricing options, as a risk you're on top of rather than one that surprises the quarter.

What to raise

The Dunkin' loyalty threat and the Michaels tariff exposure are the two your portfolio CEOs and LPs will ask about first. Be the one who raised them.

How it works.

Set up once, then it runs on a loop — new coverage feeds the next brief, and every reply sharpens the one after it.

  1. 01

    We scan your industry

    Regulatory filings, competitor moves, market signals, court actions. We read the sources that matter to your industry and filter for what actually affects your company.

  2. 02

    We build a brief for YOUR business

    Not generic news. Every article includes a specific “why it matters” analysis tied to your market position, competitors, and regulatory exposure.

  3. 03

    Everyone gets their own brief

    Each person gets the read for their seat — and only theirs. Finance isn't seeing what HR sees; no one's brief is filled with someone else's news. The moves that touch the whole company reach everyone, but the rest is one to one. All from a single signup.

  4. 04

    You reply, we adjust

    Reply like you'd reply to an analyst: ask for more of something, less of something, or name what to watch next. New coverage lands immediately; removals get a human check first. Just hit reply. No logging in, nothing to set up.

New coverage loops into your next brief — the cycle never stops.

PERSONALIZATION

Same story. Every department's read.

Every person on your team gets their own brief, tuned to their role. Below: one company-wide story — the kind everyone needs — read by each department. Most of each brief, though, is different: the news that matters to that person.

THE STORY

Two enterprise SaaS vendors in your stack just posted SOC 2 Type II re-audits with material findings.

HOW SALES SEES IT

Your security questionnaire just got harder. Prospects in regulated verticals will ask whether those vendors touch their data — and “we’re reviewing it” loses deals. Get ahead of it before it surfaces in a procurement review.

Written for the seat you sit in.

Partner, advisor, consultant — the brief is built around the accounts and decisions you own.

Private Equity · Partner

Never get surprised on a portfolio company in a board seat or an LP call. Walk in already knowing what moved this week and what it means for the thesis.

Your accounts stay yours.

The list of accounts you cover is never shared and never used to train a model. Start with one account and add the rest when you're ready.

Every claim is checked twice.

We verify every date, number, and claim against its source before it reaches you — two independent checks between writing and sending.

Every item links to its source.

No unsourced assertions. Each item links to the public source it came from, so you can go straight to the primary document.
