Who benchmarks against you — and what they pay.

Where these numbers come from

Proxy statements filed by the companies that name the buyer in their own benchmarking peer group, read at the filing and at the specific table the peer disclosure sits in. Nothing here is estimated, modeled or imputed. Every figure we print is traceable to the place it came from, and each table on the document prints the source filing and the accession number beside the figure, so a reader can open the filing and find the number in the position we say it occupies. Where a company or an agency has filed nothing on a question, the document says so instead of filling the gap; a filled gap is indistinguishable from a wrong number, and the reading stops being checkable the moment that happens.

The registers are rebuilt as filings land rather than on a quarterly or annual cycle, and each document states the date the data was read. A figure that changed between two readings changes in the next document and is visible as a change, not silently corrected. Where a source restates a prior period, the restatement is shown as a restatement rather than folded into the current figure.

How it is built, and what is checked

Every figure is read from public disclosure directly: filings and their exhibits, the public registers, and the published data sets the government itself maintains. Each figure is kept together with the place in its source it came from — the document, the section, the page and the table — rather than rolled into a document-level total, which is what makes the citation beside the figure mechanical rather than reconstructive. A document is assembled from those cited figures at the moment it is produced, not from a snapshot taken when the page was written.

Before a document leaves, the figures are checked against their sources: totals against the rows they sum, the year-over-year movement against both years as filed, and each named executive, company, facility or entity against the register’s own record for it. Anything that fails a check is either fixed or removed; a document with a gap is a document we would rather not send than send with a number we cannot point at. The same checks run on the free briefs, which is why a reader who wants to test us can do it without paying.

What you receive, and when

A three-page PDF and the same three pages as HTML, produced when the order is placed, so the peer set is the one on file that day. Delivery is immediate: the document is generated from the live registers when the order is taken, so the figures are the ones on file that day rather than a copy prepared in advance and reused. The document carries the date it was produced and the date the data was read, which are usually the same day and are always stated separately when they are not.

Reports are one document for one subject. If the scope you need is a portfolio of companies, a system or a state rather than one subject, say so when you write and we will scope it as a single piece of work rather than as a stack of single documents billed separately. Custom scopes are quoted, not listed: see the note on quoted work further down this page.

Who buys this

Compensation committees preparing a proxy season, and the advisers who draft the peer-group rationale for them. The document assumes a reader who already knows the subject and wants the evidence, so it does not spend pages explaining what a peer group is or why a burn rate matters. It does print, in full, the basis on which it says what it says: the filings, the periods, the caveats and the places where the data does not answer the question.

The price, and the other doors

This product is $299, charged at checkout with no per-seat or per-report addition. The same number, with every other live product, is on the pricing page →, which is generated from the same register the checkout charges from.

What this is not

This is not investment advice, not a vote recommendation, and not a rating of any company or person. It is prepared from public disclosure for use as informational reference only and carries no warranty of any kind. We do not accept payment for a conclusion about a company, and no subject of a document sees it before the buyer does. If a document we sold turns out to be wrong on a figure, we correct it and send the corrected document to the buyer, and the correction is logged on the corrections page rather than made quietly.

Buying, or asking

Two doors. If this is the product you want, the form on this page takes the order and the card, and the document follows in about a minute. If the scope is not standard — a portfolio, a custom cohort, an extended governance read, a data license with redistribution rights, or work that does not exist yet as a product — write to hello@velarion.ai and describe what you need. Quoted work is scoped in writing before anything is charged, and a quote is a price we hold. Both doors reach the same team, and a question is answered whether or not it becomes an order.
