A pilot for consulting and private equity teams: what operators said, with the second they said it

The Verbatim Firm Pilot, from The Art of Service, is a 30-day pilot for consulting and private equity teams of more than 5 seats. It gives the team Verbatim Team's shared watchlists, MCP and REST API on moments from 900+ business and technology podcasts, so analysts cite what operators said, at the exact second, in decks and diligence memos. Terms are set per firm and quoted by hand: request a pilot below and Gerard replies by email.

The Pilot Ripple

It shows how evidence spreads inside a firm: one analyst's cited moment reaches a team, then a practice, then the firm.

Each ring is a wider circle of the firm; the dots are cited moments, and they multiply as each ring picks up the habit.

How does a pilot spread across a firm?

  1. One team starts. More than 5 seats, one engagement or one sector, for 30 days.
  2. One sector watchlist. The team watches the companies, executives and themes that matter to that work, and gets alerts the morning after one is named on a podcast.
  3. Shared citations. Quotes go into decks and memos with a link to the second, so a partner can check them.
  4. Firm rollout. If the pilot earns its place, the firm moves to Enterprise terms: more seats, invoicing and a security review.

The Pilot Ripple is the picture of that spread.

What do you get in the pilot?

Everything in Verbatim Team, for the pilot's seats: shared watchlists of up to 100 names, full archive search, the REST API and the MCP server, so the library works inside your own AI client. Every result carries the speaker, show, date and a listen link. Verbatim does not replace an expert call; it gives your analysts what operators already said on the record before they book one. Terms, seat count and price are set per firm.

Frequently asked questions

How do consultants source operator quotes quickly?

By searching what operators already said on the record. The Verbatim Firm Pilot gives a consulting team search, alerts and MCP across 900+ business and technology podcasts, and every quote comes with a name, a show and a link to the second, ready to cite in a deck or memo.

Can podcast evidence replace expert network calls?

Not entirely. A call answers your own question. The Verbatim Firm Pilot gives your team what operators said publicly first, with the second it was said, so expert calls are fewer and sharper. Many first questions in a sector are already answered on the record.

Does Verbatim connect to our AI through MCP?

Yes. The Verbatim Firm Pilot includes the MCP server at verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp and the REST API, the same as Verbatim Team. Clients such as Claude that accept a remote MCP server with a header can search quotes and moments and run client-pack reports inside the conversation.

How does a 30-day pilot work?

One team of more than 5 seats uses Verbatim Team features for 30 days on one engagement or sector, with its own watchlists. At the end, the firm decides whether to move to Enterprise terms. Request the Verbatim Firm Pilot below; Gerard replies by email to agree seats and terms.

Verbatim Enterprise is for more than 5 seats, with custom terms, invoicing or a security review. Up to 5 seats is Verbatim Team at USD 299 a month. The Verbatim Firm Pilot is the 30-day first step into Enterprise for consulting and private equity teams.
