The research you’d do yourself, if you had 200 hours.
You know your company better than anyone. What you don’t have is a spare week to pressure-test it at the depth an investor will. That’s the part we run for you, with every claim sourced, verified, and traceable.
It takes about 15 hours to run, but the depth is what would take an analyst 200 hours, or $20k–$40k from a consultant. You pay $500, and all of it goes into the research itself, $50 per report. The $100 of Webhound credit on top brings it to $600 of value for $500. No subscription.

WHAT YOU GET
The ten questions every founder has to answer.
The same ones investors probe — built from conversations with partners at large funds. Each one is a standalone, cited document.
Market opportunity
After this, you'll know exactly how big your real market is, what credible bottom-up and top-down sizing looks like, and the specific objection a tier-1 partner will raise on TAM if you don't have an answer.

Why now — and the graveyard of past attempts
After this, you'll know exactly who tried this before and died, why each one failed, and what specific structural change since makes today different. You'll be able to answer "why didn't this work in 2017?" without flinching.

First customer — by name or archetype
After this, you'll know the specific buyer to chase — not a vague persona but a named archetype with budget, urgency, and public trigger signals you can monitor.
loading sample…
Voice of customer — where they hang out, what they actually say
After this, you'll have a venue map of where your customer actually lives online, the exact phrases they use to describe the problem (which become your landing copy), and the verbatim quotes you can paste into a deck.
loading sample…
Current substitutes — what you are really replacing
After this, you'll know exactly what your customer does TODAY (not the named software competitors — those are in another section) and what would actually force them to switch.
loading sample…
Competitive landscape — strengths, weaknesses, and where you fit
After this, you'll know the 5 serious competitors, exactly what each does well, where each is weak (with verbatim user complaints), and where the opening for you sits.
loading sample…
Future of the space — what is coming, what is overlooked, what this could become
After this, you'll be able to talk about where the space is going, name the overlooked signals shaping it, and articulate what the company could credibly grow into beyond its wedge.
loading sample…
The narrowest credible wedge — your day-one beachhead
After this, you'll have a one-paragraph product spec for the narrowest credible wedge — specific buyer, specific workflow, specific time-to-value — and the trap-risk thresholds that tell you when to pivot.
loading sample…
Winning scenario — what "this works" actually looks like
After this, you'll have a milestone-by-milestone underwriting case for the company at year 5, with specific revenue numbers, named comparables, and the seed-entry multiple math that makes the round work.
loading sample…
Downside scenario — the strongest reason this fails
After this, you'll have a probability × severity kill-risk matrix with falsifiable signals, the strongest published anti-thesis for the company, and the specific counter-evidence that would force a pivot.

HOW IT WORKS
The agent works for you for the next ~15 hours.
Here’s exactly what happens after checkout:
- Tell us about your business. One required paragraph about what you’re building plus a few optional questions. Every detail you share is one less wrong assumption the agent has to make.
- All 10 reports run one after another, each grounded in the prior. Each report sees what came before, does its own original research on a different question, reads dozens of new sources, and ships a finished cited document.
- Get notified as each one lands. Reports arrive in a dedicated folder in your workspace. Read in-browser, export as Word or PDF, share via public link, or have the agent dig deeper into any of them.
I tried getting this out of Claude, but it always came back surface-level. Webhound came back with real substance — and blind spots I didn’t even know I had. I saved a bunch of the points it raised, and they’ve quickly become critical to the decisions we’re making right now.
