# Research

> What we found publicly about your company, and the market around it, gathered while your assessment was analysed.

**Research** sits under **Capabilities** in the sidebar. It shows what we found publicly
about a company and what is happening in its market, on one page.

The page is titled **Research**, *"What the assessment flows found about this company, and
the market around it."* A banner underneath names whose research you are looking at.

## Where it comes from

You don't request research. It is gathered automatically while an assessment is analysed:
run the [Quick Assessment](/using/running-an-assessment), and once the analysis finishes,
this page fills in.

What it contains is public information about the company, found from its web domain and its
industry — the same sort of thing anyone could look up. It is cached against those public
keys rather than against your account, so research about a domain is reused for any
organisation on that domain instead of being gathered again.

<Note>
  If you have just submitted an assessment, the analysis takes a few minutes. Come back to
  this page once the report lands and the research will be here.

## The two cards

Both start folded. Select a card's header to open it.

### Company research

What we found publicly about the business, grouped into **About**, **Products &
services**, **Organisations**, **People**, **Metrics**, **Credentials**, **Digital
presence**, **Social media**, and **Updates**, with **Data incomplete** and **Sources**
folded away at the bottom.

A **Researcher confidence** gauge shows *"How certain the researcher was of what it
recorded, out of 100."* The header tells you how current it is: **Researched \[date]** with
an **Up-to-date** or **Expired** badge.

With nothing on file yet you'll see **No company research yet**.

### Industry insight

The market research: what is moving in the industry, as a set of findings. Each finding
carries its own kind — **Opportunity**, **Threat**, **Watch** or **Update** — its
confidence, its date, and its sources, so a claim can always be traced back to where it
came from. The header carries the same **Researched \[date]** and freshness badge.

With nothing on file yet you'll see **No research yet**.

## Nothing here yet

If neither card has anything, the cards are replaced by a single **No research yet**
message saying research is gathered while an assessment is analysed, with **Go to AI
Readiness** to run one. If only one of the two has landed, both cards stay and the other
shows its own empty message.

Advisors looking at a client see the same message without the button: you cannot start a
client's assessment for them.

## For advisors

Advisors get the same page. It follows your **Working with** selection: pick a client and
Research shows that client's; on **My Firm** it shows your own firm's. The same two cards
also sit inside [Meeting Prep](/advisors/meeting-prep) beside the prep notes — this page is
for when you want them on their own, without starting a prep.

You can only see research for a client your firm has an active, consented relationship
with.

## Telling us what you think

Open a card and you'll find a **Give feedback** button at the end of what it found. It
opens a short form about that card specifically. Use it as often as you like. A card with
nothing in it yet has no button — there is nothing to give feedback on.
