Public signals · written as one memo

Read a company from the record
before the first call

Paste a URL. Inked fans out across SEO, traffic, archives, social, GitHub, pricing, and disclosed capital — then writes growth, thesis fit, risks, and the questions to take into the room. Not a dashboard. Not a rating.

Company signals

What we actually read

Nine public traces, in parallel. Every figure keeps a source class and a confidence label — high, medium, or low. We do not invent a private data room.

Site

Live site & archives

Homepage, pricing, careers, and Wayback inflections — when the story on the site changed.

Demand

SEO & organic

Category queries, branded search, and whether the name is the query or an accident.

Reach

Traffic shape

Public estimates of volume and mix. Treated as a funnel hint, never as revenue.

Social

Community gravity

X, LinkedIn, forums, Product Hunt — who talks, and whether talk compounds.

Build

Developer traces

GitHub, docs, changelog cadence. Useful when the buyer is technical.

Price

Monetization

Plans, packaging, usage meters. How they capture value, and where it leaks.

Capital

Funding trail

Disclosed rounds, valuation breadcrumbs, and how much is already priced in.

Motion

Launch waves

GTM shifts, model upgrades, suite expansions — the moments the company rewrote itself.

Risk

Thesis & surface

Concentration, regulation, platform dependence — then the first-call questions.

How it works

URL, product text, or a PDF in. Nine public traces in parallel. One memo you can take into the partner meeting — not a dashboard, not a rating.

01

Enter a company

Paste a website, drop a pitch deck, or type a product note. The first two memos need no account.

  • URL is the default — any live site
  • Text when the website is thin or internal
  • PDF for decks, updates, and PRDs
02

We read the record

Nine traces fan out together. Every figure keeps a source class and a confidence label — high, medium, or low.

  • Site, archives, SEO, traffic shape
  • Social, GitHub, pricing pages
  • Disclosed capital, launches, risk
03

Get the 360° memo

Nine lenses, written as one document. You leave with a verdict, the growth story, and the questions to ask first.

  • Decision brief and next moves
  • Capital, positioning, growth waves
  • Risks, founder questions, evidence

We do not invent a private data room. Public signals only.

Against tools you already pay for

Compare with alternatives

Traffic tools and deal databases leave the argument unwritten. Inked is the memo layer: growth archaeology and the questions to take into the room.
