Fast, accurate research publishing,without making people the safety net

Asking people to stay vigilant over every figure, name and term in a complex document isn’t a division of labour. It just moves the blame. Our software does the checking, so research teams at Japan’s financial institutions can publish quickly and accurately, and spend their attention on judgement.

Products

  • Sentience

    AI translation editor

    An AI-assisted editor for expert translators, built on a knowledge base of your own past research, glossary and house style.

  • Second by Sentience

    SA precheck

    Agentic review for equity research. Analysts check drafts against the earnings model, house style and SA rules before SA review; research managers sweep the back catalogue for risk.

Following the bottleneck

We build tools for the step where research gets stuck. When we fix one, the queue moves on, and so do we.

  1. Translation was the bottleneck

    Getting research into English took expert translators too long. We built an AI translation editor on each customer’s own knowledge base so translators could keep pace.

  2. Translation got faster

    Teams using it typically translate more than 50% faster. With translation keeping up, the queue moved downstream.

  3. Now it is SA review

    Every report still has to pass a supervisory analyst, and there are fewer of them each year. Second by Sentience is our agentic review workflow: analysts run it before SA review, and it can sweep your back catalogue too.
