espionage.biz takes a person or a company and compiles a sourced brief from the public record — what they do, whoever the record names around them, what they've said publicly, and what to do with it. Every claim on it carries a label: found in the record, given by you, or our read. Built for the people who have to walk in prepared.
Not a wall of confident prose. A brief leads with the bottom line, then lays out what it knows — each line tagged found in the record, given by you, or our read — and it names the gaps instead of filling them. The same brief renders as a report — a trajectory timeline, a relationship map, and a swimlane of which plays ran at once — and exports to PDF.
Mid-market expansion play; a Series B was offered this quarter and the buying committee now runs through a new VP of Operations. Warm path exists through a shared investor.
You bring the name. It brings the sourced picture — the company, the people named around it, what they've said on the record, and what to do with it. Each moment below is a surface you'll find in the app.
Meeting an executive you've never met? Name them and their company — the case opens at once and each brief fills in — then read it: their role, their track record, whoever the record names around them, and what to do with it, before you sit down.
One brief sees one account. Watch a company case and it joins Portfolio Patterns, which reads them together: a backer shared across accounts — a real intro or just a shared logo; an account that filed a Form D (Securities and Exchange Commission) in the last 90 days; a contact old enough to re-check before you send.
A competitor just raised or shipped? Open the battlecard on their brief: how they operate, where they're exposed, and how to counter — an answer before your next call.
A person or a company — the one thing we actually need. Then pick what you want answered: prep for a meeting, who to reach, what could stall the deal, or their move and your response.
Anything you already know or suspect — folded in and checked against the record. Skip it and you still get the brief; add it and it sharpens.
Who runs it, whoever the record names around them, funding, backers, connections, what could stall the deal — and what to do with it. Every claim labelled by where it came from; gaps named where the record went quiet. Watch an account and later filings arrive in Notifications, ranked in Priorities — and it joins Portfolio Patterns.
Every claim on a brief carries one of three labels: found in the record, given by you from your own context, or our read of it. The one-line bottom line at the top is our read. The suggested moves and the named gaps are not claims and carry no label — they are what to do next and what is missing.
It checks what you already know against the public trail, and says which of it the record backs up, which it contradicts, and what is new.
The case opens the moment you start it — no staring at a spinner while it runs. Each subject's brief is written on a worker and arrives with an honest status: searching, writing, done. Above two subjects in one brief the step that names people at a company is dropped so the run finishes, so meeting prep stays at the person and their company.
Per-account depth is the easy half. Portfolio Patterns is the other: a backer shared across accounts, a Form D in the last 90 days (a raise being offered, not one that closed), a contact past re-checking — read across every account you watch, at once.
Beyond the facts: a backer funding several of the same subject's ventures, a fundraising claim with no matching Form D, ventures flashing winding-down signals. Only when the record actually supports it — a read, never an invention.
Mint a revocable public link to a brief and drop it into any CRM. Whoever you send it to needs no account — and it carries only cited, public-record facts, never your private notes.
