The data layer behind your next quarterly client advisory.

Stop running posting research by hand. We feed your engagement data, embed in your decks, and co-brand the quarterly. Hiring-Index-derived KPI strips, signed-URL embeds, and a methodology page your clients can read.

The problem · The signal

Quarterly publications go to print on data that's a quarter old.

01 What's broken today

"We were quoting Q1 numbers in a report that landed in mid-Q3. The clients noticed. We needed a daily-refreshed source we could embed under our masthead."

  • P/01

    Manual posting research per engagement

    Three weeks of analyst time per quarterly to assemble what the Index returns in three API calls.

  • P/02

    Principal hours eaten by data work

    Senior consultants are billing $1,400/hr to build slides that Tableau should be building. We replace the data pipeline; you keep the analysis.

  • P/03

    Annual benchmarks are stale by Q3

    A January benchmark is wrong by April. The Index is the benchmark, refreshed daily, with a methodology page your clients can audit.

02 What we ship

Client Data Index data under your masthead, with embeddable interactive charts and a co-branded quarterly on the established advisory model.

  • V/01

    Co-branded quarterly report

    On the established legal-sector advisory model. Your firm name on the cover, your analysis inside, our daily-refreshed data underneath. PDF + interactive web edition.

  • V/02

    Engagement data feed under your firm name

    Every API response carries your firm's data-source attribution. Your clients see "powered by [your firm]" — the underlying refresh is invisible to them.

  • V/03

    Embeddable interactive charts

    Signed-URL embeds with 30-day TTL. Drop a chart into a deck, a memo, or a client portal. Refreshes in place; no rework when the data updates.

Edge use cases · For advisory work

Three queries you can run on day one.

Every record is normalized into the same taxonomy. Cross-cut however your model needs.
USE CASE 01

Annual lateral & hiring report

A January roundup that doesn't require seven analysts. One query returns the year's top 50 movement events, normalized into your taxonomy. Insert your commentary; ship the deck.

GET /v1/year-in-review/2025?taxonomy=client_x
USE CASE 02

Sector-specific benchmarks for client decks

Your client wants a peer-group benchmark against five named firms across nine sub-practices. The Index returns a normalized, signed-URL embed in 200ms.

GET /v1/firms/compare?ids=...&embed=signed
USE CASE 03

Macro narrative tracking

Track which sub-practices grew and shrank by market each quarter. The narrative for next quarter's advisory writes itself before the partner asks for it.
