We know every company so that you can find the right one
Companies are profiled across 10 distinct signals. Ask any complex question — requirement, solicitation, patent — and get a prioritized, evidence-backed shortlist.
Company intelligence breaks on identity.
One firm shows up as a parent, a dozen subsidiaries, an IP-holding arm, and a pile of misspelled patent assignees. Until that's resolved, every search is counting the same company four times and missing it twice.
Hoover resolves the signals — patents, products, publications, clinical trials, FDA clearances — to the companies behind them, and holds each as a single canonical profile carrying that company's expertise, capabilities, and technologies. Search runs against the resolved graph, not a keyword index, so a question phrased in your terms finds companies described in theirs.
Every question runs the same way.
