Getting set up
A useful brief starts with your business.
Tell Clarveni what you’re working on and which organisations matter to you. It checks their developments against your priorities and brings the ones worth discussing into a weekly email.
The sample is free and built on the companies you follow. No card and no online checkout: founding customers pay nothing until they have had two Monday briefs and chosen to continue.
From your priorities to your inbox.
Use the priorities you already discuss with your team. You can update them as your plans change.

Join the waitlist
We’ll email you when your account is ready. You then tell Clarveni what it should know about your business.

Set your priorities and choose who the brief is for
Describe your customers, why they choose you and what you’re working towards. Then choose who the brief is for: founders and owners, executives, product leaders, sales leaders or a mixed leadership team. Everyone who receives it gets the same brief.
- 3
Choose the organisations to follow
Add the competitors, customers, partners, prospects and suppliers whose moves could affect your plan. Say how each relates to your business and how important it is to your priorities.

Add the people who receive the brief
One brief a week, scheduled for Monday morning in your account’s timezone, covering the seven days to the Friday before. Add the colleagues who should receive it, as many as you like.

Check your choices and start briefing
Review and confirm your setup. After setup, your dashboard shows when your first brief is ready and the date of the next weekly edition. Clarveni collects news and company-information changes for each company you follow, and finds and checks public pricing, changelog and roadmap pages for them once a week. You can add pages yourself. Each brief says how many of your selected sources were checked.
See what the dates actually tell you.
The date an announcement was published isn’t always the date something happened. When Clarveni finds a change between checks, the sources show the date Clarveni observed the change, and the brief explains what’s still unknown.
| Evidence | What Clarveni shows | What it helps you understand |
|---|---|---|
| Dated report | The development and a date where one is available, usually its publication date. | Usually when the announcement or article was published; sometimes when it was found. |
| Change found between checks | What differed and the date Clarveni observed the change. | The period in which the change became visible. |
| Published pricing table | The tiers, limits or prices shown on the page you asked us to follow. | Which of those details changed between checks. |
| Part of a pricing or packaging page | The wording or offer details visible on that part of the page. | What changed in that part of the page, and what still needs checking. |
| Information unavailable | Each brief says how many of your selected sources were checked. | Where the team may need another source or follow-up. |
Agree what needs doing and who’ll do it.
Discuss the recommendation with your team and check it against what you already know. Use past briefs to see whether a new development changes your view.
Start with what changed
Bring the relevant competitor, customer and partner news to your weekly review.
Check the recommendation
Test the evidence and its meaning against what your team knows.
Give the next step an owner
Agree who should investigate, respond or keep the change under review.
