What we build

Research agents that synthesise — not just summarise.

Each capability is a production component — not a proof-of-concept — wired to your CRM, governed by your source policy, and tuned continuously against rep feedback.

Multi-source web research

Hybrid web crawl across company sites, news, blogs, podcasts, conference talks, public filings, and review platforms. Every claim cites the source URL — no copy-paste from a model's training data.

Tech-stack detection

Identifies CRM, MAP, data stack, sales-engagement, analytics, and AI tooling — from BuiltWith, ZoomInfo, public job posts, and GitHub. Reps walk into discovery already knowing what's installed and what's missing.

Champion + buying-committee mapping

Reads the LinkedIn graph + organisational chart + public POVs (podcasts, talks, posts). Surfaces who decides, who blocks, who pushes — and the warmest mutual contact path into the account.

Trigger detection

Continuous watch for buying triggers — funding rounds, hiring spikes, product launches, exec changes, M&A, layoffs. Auto-fires a brief to the named AE the moment a trigger lands; lead-time becomes a habit, not luck.

Competitive battle cards on demand

Pulls G2, Reddit, public reviews, and case-study patterns to compile vendor-vs-vendor battle cards. Pain points, switch precedent, renewal-window detection — sales has the right argument before the call, not after.

Citations on every claim

Every synthesised insight links back to a source — URL, snippet, date, retrieval timestamp. Reps trust what they're reading; sales-management can verify before a deal cycle commits to a position.

Where research agents land

One reasoning engine, every brief class.

Same source allow-list, same citation discipline, every brief class. Account dossiers, battle cards, champion briefs, trigger alerts, market scans, QBR prep — the same reasoning loop with class-specific prompts and delivery surfaces.

01

Pre-discovery account dossiers

Reps walk into discovery calls with firmographic, tech-stack, champion, and recent-trigger context already on the deal record. Calls jump straight to substance instead of chewing through who-are-you preamble.

02

Competitive switching battle cards

Vendor-versus-vendor cards compiled from G2, Reddit, public reviews, and case-study patterns. Reps see pain points, renewal windows, and switch precedent — ready for the head-to-head conversation.

03

Champion briefs + warm intro paths

Per-contact briefs covering career arc, public POV, mutual connections, and recent activity. BDRs reach out with the right hook — referencing a real talk or post — instead of a templated outbound line.

04

Continuous trigger alerts

Funding round, exec change, hiring spike, product launch — trigger detected, brief drafted, AE pinged. Pipeline becomes signal-driven; lead time on relevant outreach becomes consistent rather than accidental.

05

Industry / market scans

On-demand market research — top players in a niche, recent funding rounds in a vertical, regulatory-change impact analyses. Sales-leadership and marketing get a research arm without hiring one.

06

QBR + deal-review prep

Quarterly business reviews and deal-stage reviews compile themselves — recent customer activity, account-level signals, expansion/risk indicators. Sales managers walk in prepared instead of digging through CRM in the meeting.

Live research stream

See every brief — being compiled in real time.

The active research run on the left, the source crawls + tool calls beneath, the live brief deliveries on the right. Dossiers landing on AE inboxes, trigger alerts firing, sources cited live — visible to sales-leadership as it happens.

Model families we deploy

No single model handles every brief. So we compose.

Web synthesis, source verification, champion graph, and trigger watch each run on their own model — composed into one agent with version control at every step.

CLAUDE + GPT-5
Web Synthesis Reasoner

Long-context reasoning over multi-source crawls — Claude Sonnet/Opus and GPT-5 picked per task based on context size, latency, and synthesis depth. Multi-model orchestration with automatic fallback.

CITATION + RECENCY MODEL
Source Cross-Verifier

Cross-checks claims across sources before they enter the brief. Single-source claims get flagged as 'unverified'; multi-source claims surface with confidence. Stale data is auto-deprioritised.

LINKEDIN + 2ND-DEGREE PATH
Champion Graph Engine

Reads organisational structure, tenure, role transitions, and public POVs. Maps champions, blockers, and warmest-path introductions through 1st- and 2nd-degree connections in your team's network.

CONTINUOUS SIGNAL MODEL
Trigger Watcher

Continuously watches news, filings, hiring boards, social posts, and product announcements per named account. Trigger-class taxonomy is tunable — funding, hiring, exec change, M&A — to match what moves your deals.

Data sources wired into every brief

Every signal that shapes the buy — synthesised.

Web crawl, professional graph, tech intelligence, review platforms, trigger feeds, and CRM enrichment. Pulled in parallel, cross-verified across sources, and audit-logged alongside the source allow-list version that produced the brief.

Research-agent governance

Built to pass legal review — not just to scrape the web.

Citation trails, source allow/deny lists, robots.txt-respecting crawl, and version-controlled trigger taxonomies. The agent ships with the operational discipline a real sales org needs — not a black-box scraper.

Every point below ships with the agent. Not bolted on later.

Citation trail per brief

Every claim in every brief is anchored to a source URL, snippet, retrieval date, and confidence. Sales managers and compliance reviewers can verify any insight without re-running the research themselves.

Source allow/deny lists

Configurable per deployment — add trusted analyst publications to the allow list, exclude known-spam sources, mask competitor blogs you don't want quoted. The agent only reads what your team has approved.

Compliance-aligned crawl

Respects robots.txt, rate limits, and ToS where applicable. PDPA and GDPR-aligned handling of any personal data surfaced during research; no data resold or shared between deployments.

Single-source flag · unverified mark

Insights from a single source are tagged as 'unverified' in the brief. Multi-source claims surface with confidence. Reps and managers can spot weak signal at a glance — and choose whether to act on it.

Brief-quality feedback loop

Reps rate every brief — useful, partial, irrelevant. Low-rated briefs route into a tuning queue; the source-weighting model rebalances weekly against close-rate signals on briefed deals vs unbriefed.

Trigger taxonomy version control

Every change to trigger classes, alert thresholds, and routing rules is tracked and rollback-able. New trigger classes discovered in live runs route to a review queue; sales-leadership approves before they enter production.

Why Axccelerate for research

Not a profile-lookup tool.
A research system.

ZoomInfo gives you firmographic. LinkedIn Sales Navigator gives you contacts. Our system synthesises across both — plus filings, news, reviews, and community — into a cited brief that your reps can act on. Same engine, six brief classes.

Glossary

The vocabulary behind every cited brief.

A quick reference for the terms that show up in research-agent reports — the language your AEs, BDRs, and sales-leadership team will use during deployment and review.

Account dossier
Pre-call account brief

A 2-4 page synthesis covering firmographic, tech stack, recent triggers, champion mapping, and competitive context — compiled in minutes from multi-source crawl, every claim cited.

Battle card
Vendor-vs-vendor switching brief

A switching/win brief comparing your platform to a named competitor — pain points, switch precedent, renewal windows, common objections — pulled from G2, Reddit, and public filings.

Champion brief
Named-contact intel pack

A per-person brief covering career arc, public POVs (talks, podcasts, posts), mutual contacts, and recent buying-signal activity. Helps reps lead with relevance, not template.

Trigger
Buying-signal event

An external signal that changes the buying probability — funding round, exec change, hiring spike, M&A, regulatory shift. Detected continuously; routed to the AE with a pre-compiled brief.

Citation
Source-anchored claim

Every claim in every brief links to a URL, snippet, retrieval date, and confidence. Reps trust what they're reading; managers can verify before committing the deal cycle.

Cross-verification
Multi-source confirmation

The act of cross-checking a claim against at least two independent sources before it enters the brief. Single-source claims surface as 'unverified' so weak signal stays visible as weak.

Tech stack
Account's installed software

The combination of CRM, MAP, data warehouse, sales-engagement, analytics, and AI tooling running at the account. Detected from BuiltWith, public job posts, GitHub, and ZoomInfo.

Buying committee
Decision-makers + influencers

The cluster of people involved in a buying decision — economic buyer, technical buyer, end users, blockers, champions. Mapped per account from LinkedIn + role-history reasoning.

Mutual contact
1st/2nd-degree warm-intro path

A connection through your team's network into the target account — a former colleague of the champion, a shared advisor, a board overlap. The agent surfaces the warmest path before the cold reach.

Source allow list
Approved-source allowlist

A list of vetted sources (analyst publications, official company materials, internal docs) the agent is permitted to read from. Counterpart to deny-list — protects briefs from low-quality citations.

Source deny list
Excluded-source denylist

Sources the agent is forbidden from reading or quoting — competitor blogs, low-trust review aggregators, known-spam sites. Maintained per deployment by sales-leadership.

Trigger taxonomy
Classified buying-signal classes

The set of trigger classes the agent watches per ICP — funding, hiring, exec change, M&A, layoffs, regulatory, product launch. Tuned per business; new classes added through review queue.

Brief class
Type-of-brief taxonomy

The category of brief produced — account dossier, battle card, champion brief, pre-discovery, trigger alert, market scan. Each class has its own source set, synthesis prompt, and delivery surface.

Brief-quality score
Rep feedback metric

The rep's rating of a delivered brief — useful / partial / irrelevant. Aggregated weekly; feeds into source-weighting and synthesis-prompt tuning. Low-rated briefs are auto-reviewed.

Cited · Verifiable

Reps who walk into every call already prepared.

30-minute scoping with a senior engineer and a sales-ops specialist. You'll leave with a brief-class map, source allow/deny plan, and realistic timeline — not a sales pitch.
