Use case
Analysts at investment banking, private equity or corporate M&A teams preparing valuation and diligence must find comparable companies in filings, announcements and deal databases and turn them into a checkable comparison table for deal decisions.
Today analysts mostly search public databases and filings by hand, or buy traditional financial data terminals and compile the tables themselves.
Comparable-company research relies on manual searching across several data sources, which is slow and easily misses recent deals, directly weakening the credibility and delivery pace of the valuation conclusion.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
The trend is that high-priced professional work such as deal intelligence is being split into automatable retrieval and comparison steps. A wedge could be diligence or private-market research roles that already hold budget, charged per report or per project; public material only proves funding, not retention, and whether data vendors already own this window remains unverified.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: versus manual searching, it merges retrieval and first-pass comparison into one output, cutting the steps analysts spend switching between data sources and re-transcribing figures, so deal teams under time pressure and needing a consistent comparable set would try it first during valuation and diligence; public material offers no customer case or retention evidence.
