Research & Scout: send it after any company, get the homework done | TinyCommand
Superpowers · Research & Scout
Research & Scout takes one company name and your business context, plans its own searches, reads the live web, and hands back a sourced brief, plus a 1–5 fit score it can actually defend. Run it on a whole column of leads, not one tab at a time.
One drop-in. A whole research desk.
Search planning, live page reading, source-cited synthesis, fit scoring and people-finding, in a single capability, instead of an afternoon of open tabs and copy-paste.
Plans its own searches
It reads your goal and writes 3–5 targeted queries (funding, leadership, news) by itself.
Reads the live pages
Not just snippets. It opens the actual pages and reads them, then throws out the noise.
Writes a sourced brief
Products, model, revenue, employees and growth. Every claim with a link behind it.
Scores the fit 1–5
It qualifies the company against your business across five axes. Justified, not a vibe.
Finds the key people
Decision-makers with role, profile and contact details, ready to reach out.
Returns clean fields
Structured JSON your workflow can read, never freeform prose to parse.
It runs its own research pipeline, per record.
This isn't one search and a summary. Every run is a five-stage autonomous pass: it plans, searches the open web, reads the pages, compresses what matters with its sources attached, then writes the brief. And it does the whole thing again for every row you point it at.
01 Plan
It reads your context and writes its own search plan: 3–5 queries, each aimed at a different facet, always fresh to this year.
→
02 Search
Every query fires at once across the open web, and the results are deduped to a clean set of unique sources.
→
03 Read
It opens the actual pages (not just the snippets) and reads the full content, with a backup reader if one is down.
→
04 Compress
Pages are stitched together with their source attached, most-relevant first, so every fact keeps its citation.
→
05 Synthesise
A powerful AI model writes the brief into a fixed shape: only the fields you asked for, valid every time.
It works to a fast deadline. Planning, searching and reading share one time budget, and synthesis always runs on whatever was gathered, so you get a brief every time, even when a page is slow.
It won't flatter your pipeline.
The real danger with research isn't a missing fact. It's a confident, wrong “great fit!” So every fit score is defended across five axes: industry alignment, business-model fit, market segment, technology relevance and partnership potential. And when the evidence isn't there, it scores a 1, not a 4.
| Company | Why this score | Source | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northwind Logistics | Same market, complementary model, clear opportunity | press release | 5/5 |
| Acme Data Co. | Strong industry overlap; mid-market, active buying signals | funding news | 4/5 |
| Helio Robotics | Adjacent industry; possible, but no obvious business case | company site | 2/5 |
| Brightleaf Retail | Different segment (consumer), no clear fit found | thin evidence | 1/5 |
That last row? Thin evidence, different segment, so it's a 1, not a hopeful 4. Scout refuses to inflate a score it can't justify, and shows you the source behind every claim, instead of letting a flattering guess clog your pipeline.
Built to be honest about what it found.
Not a wall of plausible-sounding prose: researched facts, with the receipts.
Cites every source
Each fact carries a link, especially the financial figures. No claim without a source behind it.
Says N/A, doesn’t guess
Can’t find something after a few tries? It records N/A instead of inventing a number.
Fresh, not stale
Searches are tied to the current year, so you get this quarter’s news, not last year’s.
Reads the real page
It opens the actual pages and reads them, and falls back to a backup reader if one is down.
Runs across a column
Point it at a column of companies and it researches every row, each scored on its own.
Only the fields you asked for
Toggle the research points you want; the output returns just those, nothing padded.
The research goes straight to work.
Scout isn't a dead end. Drop it into a workflow and route what it found (score the company, branch on the result, save the qualified ones and tell the team) without anyone copy-pasting from a doc.
Five ways to drop it in.
Scout lives in the builder as a node with ready-made recipes. Add it to a TinyForm or a Workflow, point it at a company, and route the brief onward. Each run is metered in the same credits as everything else.

How it compares.
The research databases and AI search tools are powerful. The difference is that Scout is built into the place you already work, scores the fit to your business, and does the parts they leave to you.
| TinyCommand Scout | Sales-data databases | AI search tools | Manual research | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plans its own searches and reads live pages | ✓ | No | some | you do |
| Scores fit 1–5 against your business, with a reason | ✓ | generic | No | No |
| Cites a source for every claim | ✓ | some | sometimes | you do |
| Runs across a whole column, no copy-paste | ✓ | export | No | No |
| One bill with the rest of your stack | ✓ | No | No | — |
If you want a static contact database to query, those do that well. If you want any company researched, scored and acted on inside the tools you already use, that's what we built.
