Questions? Good.
Here are the things people usually want to know about Akintic, company Profiles, how the research works and how Akintic can support your workflow.
What is Akintic?
Akintic is a company intelligence platform that helps you understand a business before making a decision about it. Search for a company and Akintic researches publicly available information, brings relevant findings together and presents them in a structured Akintic Profile.
Is Akintic an AI tool?
Akintic is different. AI is part of how Akintic does the heavy lifting, but it isn’t the proposition. Akintic has been built specifically for company research, using a research approach informed by 20+ years of diligence experience and subject matter expertise. The aim is simple: use technology to do more of the searching, organising and cross-checking so you can spend more time understanding and deciding.
What is company intelligence?
Company intelligence is information and context that helps you understand a business: what it does, who owns and runs it, how it operates and presents itself, what’s happening around it and what risks, opportunities or questions may matter to your decision.
What is an Akintic Profile?
An Akintic Profile is a structured company intelligence report that brings together publicly available information, key findings, reputation signals and potential risk indicators into a single, easy-to-review format. Profiles are designed to help teams understand organisations faster and make more informed decisions.
What does an Akintic Profile include?
Coverage depends on the company and information available, but Akintic Profiles can include company background, ownership and leadership, products and services, market context, recent developments, media, public watchpoints, source references and suggested questions for further review.
Where does the information come from?
Akintic researches and cross-checks information across a wide range of publicly available and other accessible sources. Top sources are included within each Akintic Profile so you can inspect the evidence behind important findings rather than simply accepting an answer.
Does every Profile contain exactly the same information?
The structure is consistent, but coverage depends on the company and the public information available.
What does Akintic cost?
Akintic offers flexible pricing based on how frequently you need company intelligence. Pay as you go: $149 per profile. Team Plan: $899 per month, including 10 profiles ($89 per profile). Enterprise: Custom pricing for organisations with higher volumes or more complex requirements. New customers receive $120 in account credit, reducing the cost of their first Akintic Profile from $149 to $29. Visit the Pricing page for the latest plans and details.
How long does research take?
Most profiles are generated within minutes, helping teams reduce time spent collecting information manually.
How quickly can I create a Profile?
Most Akintic Profiles are built in minutes rather than the hours typically required to manually gather and structure comparable company research.
Can I use ChatGPT or another AI tool to research a company instead?
Absolutely. ChatGPT and other general-purpose AI tools can be very useful for company research. The difference is that Akintic has been built specifically for the job. You don’t need to decide what to prompt for or how to structure the answer. Akintic follows a consistent company-research process, prioritises relevant sources and produces the same structured Akintic Profile each time.
Is an Akintic Profile the same as a company report?
You can export information into document formats where supported, but Akintic is designed around the Profile rather than a static report. The Profile lives within the Akintic environment so company research can be shared, monitored and updated more easily.
Can I export the Akintic Profile?
Yes. You can easily export Profiles to PDF when you need an offline version. Should you need to refresh the report at a later date, you can do so easily within your Akintic account.
How do I use Akintic?
Akintic helps you understand any company before you deal with them. You type in the company name and, in minutes, it does what would normally take around 30 hours of research – giving you one clear, source-backed profile of the business, the people behind it and anything important you should know. After all, finding out who you’re really dealing with before you say yes is always cheaper than finding out afterwards. We’ve all learned that lesson at some point, right?
Does Akintic make the decision for me?
No. Akintic helps you understand the company, see what deserves attention and identify useful questions to ask next. The decision is still yours. It does not replace human judgement, professional advice or formal legal, financial, compliance or operational due diligence where those are required.
Is Akintic a due diligence tool?
It can support early-stage company research and due diligence workflows, but Akintic is broader than formal due diligence. It’s designed for the many business decisions where you need a strong understanding of a company without commissioning a full specialist review.
Does Akintic replace professional due diligence?
No. Akintic accelerates research and helps structure information, but important decisions should still involve appropriate professional review and judgement.
Can Akintic support investment research?
Yes. Akintic helps users quickly build an initial understanding of businesses before conducting deeper analysis.
Can Akintic be used for supplier due diligence?
Yes. Supplier assessment and due diligence are common use cases for Akintic.
Who is Akintic for?
Anyone who regularly needs to understand companies. Use cases include procurement, vendor management, corporate strategy, legal and compliance, sales and business development, as well as broader business research.
Can teams use Akintic?
Yes. Akintic supports individual, team, volume, API and enterprise research workflows. Contact sales to discuss the current options for your organisation.
