How it Works
From company name
to company clarity
You choose the company. Akintic does the searching, gathering and organising, then gives you a structured Profile to review.
No complicated setup. No clever prompting required.
Step 1.
You: Enter the company name.
Akintic helps you identify the right business before research begins – an important first step when companies share names, operate through different entities or locations, or belong to larger groups.
Akintic: Starts researching.
Step 2.
This is where the heavy lifting happens.
Akintic researches across relevant sources, gathering information about the company and the people, events, and signals around it.
Rather than treating every source equally, Akintic’s research approach is designed to give greater weight to sources that are more useful for the question being answered.
The underlying research process draws on Castle Hall Diligence’s expertise, with different parts of the Profile researched independently before findings are brought together and cross-checked against other sources.
Step 3.
Research is organised into a consistent, structured Akintic Profile. The result isn’t simply more information, but information organised so you can understand it.
Depending on what’s available, this typically includes:
- Company Overview
- Identity and Ownership
- Leadership
- Products and Services
- Market Context
- Financial and Commercial Signals
- Legal and Regulatory Information
- Media and Reputation
- Watchpoints
- Top Sources
- Questions worth asking next
Step 4.
Top sources support important findings. That means you can inspect where information came from, check dates and go deeper where something matters to your decision.
Company research often creates additional questions – which is a good thing.
Akintic helps turn findings into watchpoints and suggested questions so you can decide what needs:
- No further action
- A conversation with the company
- Another source
- Specialist review
- Deeper due diligence
Step 5.
Your Profile stays in Akintic so you can return to the research anytime and even refresh your report.
Collaborate on Profiles by sharing them with team members in Akintic or export them to PDF for team reviews.
For enterprise use, discuss API delivery to enrich company records in your existing systems.
Why structure matters
Ask a group of people to research the same company and you’ll probably get multiple different approaches.
- One checks the news
- Another looks at ownership
- Someone else spends half an hour on LinkedIn
- And somebody likely pastes everything into an AI tool five minutes before the meeting
Akintic gives company research a repeatable starting point.
New or existing company. The same core research structure.
What happens when information isn't available?
Akintic works with the information that can be found. That means coverage will naturally differ between a listed multinational with extensive public filings and a small privately held business.
Where information is limited, unclear or contradictory, the right answer isn’t to invent certainty. It’s to show the gap.
Sometimes “this couldn’t be verified” is useful intelligence too.
Decision Support is included in every Akintic Profile, highlighting any gaps and helping you decide what to do next, with recommended follow-up questions and areas for further investigation.
Your next company search can be a lot shorter.
Start with a company name. Aki will take it from there.
