A note on confidentiality

Every case on this page is drawn from a real screening run. Because the companies shown are privately held businesses, we follow standard confidentiality practice on public pages: quotes are paraphrased, and names, clients and identifying details are replaced (e.g. “ACME 1 Inc.”). The published text is therefore intentionally not traceable to the companies — including through a web search — which protects them without diminishing the underlying data. Pilot and client deliverables contain the original verbatim quotes with source URLs, so every claim can be verified directly. Start with a free pilot →

Tempting false positives we excluded

A keyword search would include every one of these. The reason we didn't is documented — no other sample report shows you this section.

Excluded A-01

Excluded

a turn-key integrator delivering automation and control-system work.

Excluded: already part of a group/consolidator.

Excluded A-02

Excluded

Builds positioning equipment for welding and robotic cells.

Excluded: already part of a group/consolidator — the site records a 2025 acquisition by a global industrial solutions provider.

Excluded A-03

Excluded

offers automation work alongside calibration services and precision measurement gear.

Excluded: 100% employee-owned (ESOP) — a real company, but its ownership structure is inconsistent with a founder-transition thesis; a keyword database would list it anyway

Excluded A-04

Excluded

sells a broad, customizable line of automation products.

Excluded: already part of a group/consolidator — the site describes it as a subsidiary of a larger parent organization.
