Common questions

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

Request an introduction

How is Dedale different from data platforms (Gain.ai, Gartner, Pitchbook), expert networks (GLG, Alphasense) and consulting firms (BCG, Strategy&)?

Data platforms aggregate open-source financial data with no or little proprietary layer. Expert networks provide access to primary insights through direct interactions with practitioners. Consulting firms run bespoke, costly projects suited to deep-dives rather than continuous support. Dedale sits at the intersection of all three: proprietary, expert-validated intelligence and data layered on top, delivered through a next-generation platform and flexible advisory capabilities.

What is Dedale's industry coverage?

Dedale is specialized within B2B Tech, which spans B2B software, tech-enabled and IT services, data and AI, across 500+ segments, sub-segments and market niches including Financial Services, ERP, Cybersecurity, HR Tech, GRC, Construction, Supply Chain, Healthcare, Office of the CFO, etc. We cover primarily the North American, European and UK markets. New thematics are added regularly; custom coverage is available through Advisory mandates.

How does Dedale integrate with my AI stack?

On top of direct product access (platform via SSO), you can access Dedale’s intelligence and data set through its proprietary, integrated AI agent (AskDedale) and our Dedale MCP integration (compatible with all AI clients: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Rogo...). All three modes are complementary and draw from the same proprietary, human-vetted intelligence.

What's the difference between Dedale Solution and Dedale Advisory?

Dedale’s product is a subscription-based intelligence solution that includes full access to our Intelligence platform (24/7 access to differentiated and proprietary intelligence) and on-demand live support from our internal expert team (targeted external & internal expert calls upon request). Dedale Advisory is a project-based engagement where our team operates as an extension of yours, producing bespoke research, CDD deliverables for specific mandates and strategic support. Both sides of Dedale are designed to work together: the Product for ongoing & fast intelligence, Advisory for deal-critical moments.

Can I speak directly to the experts behind the research?

Yes. Through your Dedale subscription, you have direct access to our Thematic Leaders, the in-house specialists who own each technology thematic and have conducted hundreds of expert calls and projects on it. During Advisory engagements, the Dedale team works as an extension of yours, with direct lines between our teams and regular live catch-ups and read-outs.
