Use cases

Workflows for intermediary market.

Each workflow starts with a specific market question and turns the answer into a list, monitor, export, or client-ready brief.

Find the intermediaries that fit

Build target universes from classifications, direct-authorisation status, FCA permissions, customer type, location, employee or size proxies, SEC RAUM where available, and relationship context. Useful when a broad market feed still has to be cut down by hand before it can become a sales or CRM list.

Understand the firm and its people

Open a firm profile to review regulatory status, permissions, office and contact details, senior-manager roles, Companies House context, SEC footprint, relationships, and people history. Use the context to separate client-facing advisers from back-office or control-function contacts before outreach.
