The full company picture, in one place.
An Akintic Profile turns fragmented company research into a structured view of what the business does, who’s behind it, what’s happening around it and what deserves your attention.
What is an Akintic Profile?
An Akintic Profile brings company information, external evidence, context, signals and questions together in a consistent format. Instead of finishing your research with dozens of tabs and a page of disconnected notes, you finish with something you can actually review, discuss and use.
Firstly, what does this business actually do?
Get a view of the company in plain language, including what it sells, who it serves, where it operates and how it fits into its market.
The aim is to give you understanding – no more copying the company’s About page and calling it research.
See who's behind the business
Understand available information about ownership, parent companies, subsidiaries and changes in control.
For some decisions, this is background, but for others, it could be the deciding factor.
Know who's running the company
Review relevant founders, executives, directors and other key people alongside useful context about their roles and the company.
Changes in leadership can matter too, so Akintic looks beyond a simple list of names.
Understand what the company actually sells
Get a structured picture of the company’s products, services and customer proposition.
This is useful for when you’re evaluating a supplier or researching a competitor. The clean and straightforward format provides it in plain language, no obscure sales pitch.
Put the company in context
Understand the market it operates in, relevant competitors and how the business appears to position itself.
See the commercial picture that's publicly available
Whilst varying by company, this includes reported financial information, funding, expansion, headcount signals, major customers or other public indicators of commercial activity.
Find public information that may deserve a closer look
Akintic can surface relevant legal, regulatory and other public-record information associated with the company.
Context matters though – a mention is not automatically a problem, an allegation is not a fact, and a name match is not enough. Akintic is designed to help you identify what warrants review, not make legal conclusions on your behalf.
See what's been happening around the company
Review relevant media coverage, announcements, controversies, partnerships, expansion, product launches and other developments that can change how you understand a business.
The question isn’t simply “Was this company in the news?”, but “Does anything here matter to my decision?”
Know what deserves your attention
Akintic brings potentially important findings together so they’re harder to lose amongst everything else.
A watchpoint might relate to ownership, leadership, legal issues, reputation, financial signals, company claims or simply information that doesn’t quite look typical.
See where the information came from
Relevant source references sit within every Akintic Profile so you can inspect the evidence yourself.
Research should help you have a better conversation
Akintic Profiles aren’t designed to simply tell you what it found. It helps identify questions that may be worth asking next too. That could mean a question for the supplier, a point for legal to explore, something to raise with management, or perhaps a reason to commission deeper specialist work.
This is where company information starts becoming decision support.
One structure.
Lots of decisions.
One Akintic Profile can support a whole range of different workflows.
- Procurement: Is this a supplier we want to work with?
- Strategy: Is this company or opportunity worth exploring further?
- Legal & Compliance: Is there anything that warrants deeper review?
- Sales: What should we understand before we approach this account?
- Leadership: What do I need to know before tomorrow's meeting?
The questions change, however the need for good company context doesn’t.
