Tool · Compare Subjects

Compare people and companies side by side across 30 verified dimensions.

The Compare Subjects tool takes a root subject and up to ten others, researches each one against your stated use case, and returns a structured comparison report with per-subject scores and a dimension-by-dimension breakdown. Useful for hiring decisions, partnership evaluation, investor due diligence, and competitive intelligence.

What it compares

Each subject is researched using their existing dossier data when available, falling back to real-time research. The 30 comparison dimensions are scored and then mapped to five bucket scores: professional track record, communication and influence, technical or domain depth, leadership and execution, and market position. Each subject receives a composite FoxScore from 0 to 100 alongside the individual dimension breakdown.

Comparison uses cases are declared upfront so the analysis is framed correctly:

People vs companies

Compare People

Compare a root person against 1 to 10 others. Research draws from person dossier data, public professional history, and web search. Produces a ranked comparison table with per-person FoxScore and dimension-level findings. Use case: co-founder evaluation, board candidate shortlisting, executive hire decisions.

Compare Companies

Compare 2 to 3 companies across 12 entity-shaped sections including ownership, leadership, market position, financial signals, and strategic trajectory. Research uses public filings, the company website, and structured web search. Use case: M&A target evaluation, competitive threat mapping, partnership candidate shortlisting.

Inputs and outputs

For people: supply the names of the subjects, the use case, and optionally an existing research dossier or prior enrichment. For companies: supply company names and optionally domain names, plus the use case.
