Structured background intelligence reports. Every claim cited.

Vetting reports provide structured, multi-source background intelligence on any professional. Eleven vetter types are available, each producing a report tailored to the specific questions that matter for that category — a founder report covers different dimensions than a physician report. Every finding references its source so you can verify it directly.

Available vetter types

The vetter type determines which dimensions are researched and how the report is structured. Choose the type that matches the context of your evaluation.

Report structure

Full vetting reports are multi-section documents. Each section covers a specific category of the subject's background, draws from multiple verified sources, and surfaces findings with citations. The report includes:

Snapshot reports are available for certain vetter types (pharmacist, veterinarian, physician snapshot) at a lower credit cost. Snapshots cover the most critical credential and license checks without the full multi-section depth of a full report.

Credit cost

Full vetting reports cost more credits than snapshots. Credit costs vary by vetter type. See pricing for current costs. Reports are saved to your account and can be accessed again without re-generating and re-spending credits.

The first time a subject is vetting, the full research pipeline runs. Subsequent reports on the same subject within 30 days may draw from cached research data for unchanged sections, reducing generation time.

Via API and MCP

Vetting reports are callable via the MentionFox API through the generate-vetting router. The path determines the vetter type.
