Verbatim Team, from Verbatim by The Art of Service, costs USD 299 a month for 5 seats. It gives investors and analysts search of the full archive of what founders, executives and operators said on 900+ business and technology podcasts, with shared watchlists of up to 100 terms and REST API and MCP access so the moments flow into the team's own AI. Every quote plays at the second it was said.

“Expert networks, what's the going rate for an expert network? $750, $1,000 per hour. CEOs don't even do them, and ex-CEOs will charge $5,000 an hour sometimes. You can get that for free as a student.”
Framework
It turns one research question into a ledger of operator moments your whole team can search, watch and feed into its own AI, before anyone books a paid call.
An expert call and the Verbatim Team archive answer the same question in different ways. The Evidence Ledger is the habit of checking the archive first.
The archive does not replace every call. It tells you which calls are still worth booking.
An investment guest on a business podcast put the going rate at $750 to $1,000 an hour, and said ex-CEOs sometimes charge $5,000 an hour while sitting CEOs do not take the calls at all. Verbatim Team costs USD 299 a month for 5 seats and searches the full archive of what operators said on 900+ podcasts, playable at the second.
Not every call, but many of the first ones. Founders, executives and operators explain their own numbers and decisions on podcasts every week. Verbatim Team lets a desk search the full archive of those moments before booking a paid hour, so the calls you do book are for questions nobody has answered on the record. Every quote plays at the second it was said.
Yes, on Verbatim Team. The Team owner creates an API key on the account page; keys start with vb_. A GET request to /api/v1/search with a query, a days value from 1 to 3650 and a limit up to 100, with the key as a Bearer header, returns the quote, speaker, show, episode, date, time, numbers, category, voice and listen link.
Verbatim Team includes a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at verbatim.theartofservice.com/mcp, authorised with the same vb_ key. It exposes four tools: search_quotes, topic_brief, list_topics and search_moments. It works with MCP clients such as Claude and ChatGPT that accept a remote server URL and header, so the library answers inside the AI your team already uses.
Verbatim Team includes 5 seats for USD 299 a month, or USD 3,588 a year billed once, which is twelve months at the monthly price. Team annual can also be invoiced on request. The seats share watchlists of up to 100 terms, search the full archive, and use the REST API and MCP. Everything in Pro is included.
Verbatim Team searches the full archive, and the API accepts a days value from 1 to 3650. Free searches the last 7 days and Pro the last 30. The library covers 900+ business and technology podcasts and updates every day. Quotes are short, the full episode belongs to its publisher, and every quote links to the second it was said.
