Frequently asked What Most Founders Ask on the First Call
Is this just AI dressed up as human?
No. QUAD runs AI-synthesised analysis against official registries and named public sources — Companies House, the FCA register, patent databases, and named, datestamped web and market-data sources — but every output is read by a named human strategist who tests the reasoning, checks the citations, and signs the verdict with their name. If they won't sign it, it doesn't ship. The AI drafts; the human decides. That distinction is the entire product.
What if my numbers are wrong?
That's exactly what we're here for. If a claim in your deck or brief isn't supportable, we tell you — before an LP, regulator, or journalist does. We'll show you what the data actually says, give you the verified alternative, and rewrite it in the same voice. Finding a wrong number before the room does is the highest-ROI thing this service does.
Who actually signs the verdict?
A named human strategist — not an AI, not a pseudonym, not "the ThriveFinity team." Their name is on the document. For paid tiers, the verifier's LinkedIn and credentials are included in the footer of every verdict. Accountability is structural, not decorative.
What is a Pre-Launch Verification Audit — and what does it include?
A cited, human-verified verdict on one public-facing claim — a slide, a pricing page, a positioning line. Signed by a named human verifier within 48 hours.
Is the verdict generated by AI, or does a real expert review my claim?
The draft is AI-synthesised from official registries and named, datestamped sources; every claim is citation-traced. A named human reads, tests the reasoning, and signs the verdict before release. No anonymous AI output ships from ThriveFinity.
Where is my data stored?
Briefs and outputs remain on EU infrastructure for 180 days by default. Deletion on request is immediate. Every source is named, datestamped, and traceable — checked against the primary record before it's used. Article 50 disclosures embedded in every output.
What is the refund policy?
If your verdict contains a single unsupported claim or factual error, email us within thirty days, identify the disputed claim, and we review within 48 hours. If we were wrong, we refund in full. The refund count is published monthly.
Do you work with pre-seed and seed-stage founders?
Yes. The free Teardown and the live AI-vs-QUAD demo both require no card. The £499 Audit tier is sized for seed through Series A. Start with a free Teardown — no commitment.
Can you review multiple claims at once?
Yes. The Audit tier covers a full asset — up to three interconnected claims, three ranked rebuttals, and one rewrite. If you need multiple independent claims verified in parallel, contact us to discuss a standing arrangement.
What industries or sectors do you work with?
Any sector where a founder ships a public-facing claim before a room of investors, regulators, or customers. Current clients span B2B SaaS, FinTech, AgriTech, consumer apps, and regulated health-adjacent products. If you have a claim and an audience that matters, we can verify it.
What if I disagree with the verdict?
Every verdict is a reasoned position, not a final judgment. If you have a source we missed or a methodological objection, reply directly to the verdict — we will review it within 48 hours. If we were wrong, we correct the record and publish the correction. If we were wrong or a claim in the verdict is found to be unsupported, the 30-day refund applies.
What will you not do?
Four categories — disinformation dressed as research, investment advice, deceptive persuasion patterns, and regulated medical, legal, or safety determinations. Refusals are enforced at intake, before payment.
Do you have a standing retainer?
Yes. Standing verifier arrangements are available for Series A and growth-stage teams with a recurring launch cadence. Contact om@thrivefinity.uk to discuss availability.
