“They put them into this program … 26,000 earnings calls transcripts … afternoon calls were more negative … affected the stock price”
What did operators actually say about the companies you cover?
Verbatim for investors and analysts, from The Art of Service, is search and alerts over short, attributed quotes from founders, executives and operators on 900+ business and technology podcasts, each playing from the exact second it was said. Pro, USD 29 a month, adds a watchlist of 25 names and next-morning alerts. Team, USD 299 a month for 5 seats, adds the full archive, shared watchlists of up to 100 terms, and REST API and MCP for the research stack. On contested claims, Another view shows who said the opposite.
Updated
Built for the research desk
- Hear what an operator said about a company, a market or a position, in their own voice.
- Another view puts the quote that disagrees beside the claim, so no number stands alone.
- Put company names on a watchlist and get a next-morning alert when they are said.
- Team API and MCP carry the moments into the research tools your analysts already use.
- An Operator Evidence Pack answers one question against the library, quoted by hand.
Framework
The Coverage Loop
It turns a list of names you cover into a daily loop of operator moments, each checked against the view that disagrees, before anything reaches the memo.
How does an analyst use Verbatim day to day?
The Coverage Loop is a habit, not a dashboard. It takes a few minutes a morning.
- Name the coverage. On Pro, put up to 25 names or phrases on the watchlist: companies, a market, a product category, a phrase an executive uses. Team shares a watchlist of up to 100 terms across 5 seats.
- Read the alert. The next morning after a watched term is said on one of 900+ business and technology podcasts, the alert lands. Each item is a short, attributed quote with a link that plays from the exact second.
- Check the counter-voice. When the claim is contested, Another view shows a quote from someone who said the opposite or something different. The desk sees both before forming a view.
- Cite it. The link to the second goes in the memo. Anyone who reads it can press play and hear the operator say it.
- Feed the stack. On Team, the REST API and the MCP endpoint return the same quotes, with speaker, show, episode, date, time, numbers and listen link, inside the AI tools the desk already runs.
Free searches the last 7 days, Pro the last 30, and Team the full archive.
What is the Operator Evidence Pack?
Some questions do not fit a watchlist. A pack is one research question, in one sector, with a deadline, answered by hand against the whole library: who said what, with which numbers, and the counter-voice beside it. Every quote links to the second it was said.
There is no list price. Send the question, the sector and the date you need it by on the Operator Evidence Pack page, and Gerard replies by email with a quote. If the library cannot answer the question well, the reply says so.
For a question a desk will ask every week, Team at USD 299 a month for 5 seats is the better fit: the archive, the shared watchlist and the API are there whenever the question comes up again.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track a company name on Verbatim?
Yes. Verbatim Pro, USD 29 a month, gives a watchlist of 25 names or phrases with a next-morning alert when any of them is said on one of 900+ business and technology podcasts. Verbatim Team, USD 299 a month for 5 seats, shares a watchlist of up to 100 terms across the desk. Each alert links to the exact second the name was said.
What is Another view?
On contested claims, Verbatim shows a quote from someone who said the opposite or something different, beside the original. For an analyst that means a founder's growth claim and an operator's doubt sit together, each playable at the second it was said. Another view is included in Pro, USD 29 a month, and in Team.
Does Verbatim work with my research tools?
On Verbatim Team. The Team owner creates an API key on the account page; keys start with vb_. A GET to /api/v1/search with a query, a days value from 1 to 3650 and a limit up to 100 returns quote, speaker, show, episode, date, time, numbers, category, voice and listen link. The MCP endpoint at /mcp works with clients such as Claude and ChatGPT.
