Frequently asked questions
Can Autentic replace expert networks like GLG or AlphaSights?
For structured, repeatable diligence questions — yes, at a fraction of the cost per call and with full transcript and synthesis. For one-off bespoke introductions, expert networks still have a role.
How fast can a diligence sprint complete?
24 to 48 hours for a tight expert sample (8 to 15 interviews). 3 to 5 business days for a full consumer + expert mix on a deal.
Is the evidence audit-ready for the IC?
Yes. Every claim and theme is timestamped to source footage. The IC can play the verbatim, read the transcript, and see the participant profile. Stronger than any deck-only narrative.
Can we use this across our portfolio?
Annual platform agreements include unlimited studies across portfolio companies. Common pattern: one Autentic seat per platform, run by the operating team or a portfolio-services lead.
How do you source industry experts?
Proprietary panel of operators, ex-employees, and category specialists across 40+ markets. Screened in-platform. Source mix is documented in every study report.
How does it handle confidentiality on a live deal?
Studies can run blinded — participants never see the deal target. Standard MNDA available. Data segregation per project, with clear consent and retention controls.
