From question to sourced brief
A useful brief begins with a defined company, topic, and time window. Perception brings the matching coverage together so you can inspect the original sources and compare accounts.

Research capabilities
- Full-text search. Search article headlines and body text across the entire archive. Boolean operators, phrase matching, and smart synonym expansion (searching "BTC" also finds "Bitcoin").
- Entity search. NLP-powered company and protocol search that's more accurate than keyword matching. Find Coinbase coverage even when articles reference "Brian Armstrong's exchange" or "the COIN listing."
- Sentiment filtering. Filter results by positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. Sort by sentiment score to find the most bullish or bearish coverage on any topic.
- Outlet and channel filtering. Narrow results to specific outlets (Bloomberg only), channel types (podcasts only), or exclude sources you don't trust.
- Trend analysis. See which narratives are forming around your research topic. Every search result is connected to the broader trend graph, so you can follow a thread from a single article to the macro narrative.
- Watchlists. Save search configurations and entities you want to track. Get updates when coverage patterns change or new narratives emerge around your watched topics.
- Analyst data. Wall Street consensus, price targets, and recent rating changes for 70+ publicly-traded crypto companies. See where analyst sentiment diverges from media sentiment.
Built for professional workflows
Research briefs. Compile findings into structured briefs with citations. Useful for investment committees, board updates, and team sharing. Each brief links back to the original sources so anyone can verify claims or dig deeper.
Report builder. Generate formatted reports from templates: Sector Deep Dive, Investor Relations, PR Pitch Intelligence, Stakeholder Communications, and three more. Reports pull live data from Perception so they're current when you present them.
AI-assisted research. Connect Perception to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini via MCP (Model Context Protocol). These AI crypto research tools can search the corpus, pull entity profiles, compare companies, and cite specific articles. Ask "What's the media narrative around Tether this month?" and receive a sourced answer from current data.
API access. For teams that build their own tools, the REST API provides programmatic access to search, trends, sentiment, and entity data. Feed Perception data into your internal dashboards, Slack bots, or quantitative models.
