Common questions

From self-serve intelligence to full CDD mandates, Dedale is built to support every stage of your decision process.

How is Dedale different from Pitchbook, Gartner, or expert networks?

Pitchbook provides financial data; Gartner covers enterprise IT buyers; expert networks provide access to practitioners without structured synthesis. Dedale sits at the intersection of all three, proprietary company data, expert-validated market research, and direct expert access, structured specifically for PE deal teams running technology mandates.

What technology verticals does Dedale cover?

Dedale currently covers 30+ verticals including ERP and Finance, Construction, Cybersecurity, HR Tech, GRC and Compliance, Supply Chain, Legal Tech, Marketing Tech, EHS, Procurement, and CRM, across the UK, DACH, France, Benelux, and the US. New segments are added regularly; custom coverage is available through Advisory mandates.

How does the Dedale AI integration work?

You can access Dedale's intelligence base in three ways: through the platform directly, via the Dedale AI Agent (for automated research workflows), or through the Claude MCP integration. All three modes draw from the same proprietary, human-validated data.

What is the difference between Dedale Intelligence and Dedale Advisory?

Dedale Intelligence is a self-serve subscription, you access the full intelligence base on demand, at any time. Dedale Advisory is a project-based engagement where our team operates as an extension of yours, producing bespoke research and CDD deliverables for specific mandates. Most clients use both: the platform for ongoing coverage, Advisory for deal-critical moments.

Can I speak directly to the experts behind the research?

Yes, through Dedale Advisory, you can access direct calls with the Thematic Leads who produce the intelligence on the platform. This is the same team that would run a CDD mandate for you. It is a capability no other intelligence platform offers at this depth.
