How it works · The weekly brief
A weekly brief built around your business.
Clarveni looks at what’s changed at the companies you follow and works out why it matters to your business. Your weekly email explains the important developments, recommends what to do next and gives you the evidence behind each recommendation.
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.
What does this change mean for you?
Clarveni looks at new developments alongside your priorities and relevant earlier findings. Here’s how it turns that information into your weekly brief.
Assess the change against your business
Your positioning, ideal customers, priorities and relationship to each company shape the analysis. A competitor’s expansion and a customer’s expansion can call for different responses, even when the announcement looks similar.
Put new evidence in context
Clarveni draws on relevant earlier briefs and questions still under review. It can consider new evidence in that context, rather than treating every announcement as a new story.
Work out what needs attention first
The main developments are ordered by their importance to your business. Each explains what changed, why it matters and a concrete response to consider. Where the evidence supports holding course, the brief explains why.
Check the reasoning for yourself
Each main development links to the evidence Clarveni collected. Before sending, checks look for problems such as missing references and figures the sources don’t support. Your team can read those sources and decide whether the recommendation makes sense.
One focused email, in the same order each week.
The brief opens with a short view of the week, then takes the main developments one at a time. A full brief targets 600–1,400 words; quieter weeks are shorter.
A short view of the week across the companies you follow.
Each one says what changed, why it matters to your business and what to do next. A short line shows its priority and how the company relates to you, and a View evidence link opens its sources in Clarveni.
Smaller developments to keep an eye on, each with what changed. They carry no suggested response, and the section appears only when there are some.
How many of your selected sources were checked for this edition.
The same news can mean different things to different businesses.
Clarveni uses what you tell it during setup: your industry, primary market, positioning, who you sell to, your strategic priorities, who the brief is for and any decision questions you add, together with each company’s relationship to you and how important it is. It does not connect to your documents, CRM or other internal systems.
Clarveni uses that context in two places. It helps decide whether a development is relevant enough to include, and it shapes the explanation of why the development matters to your business.
You can update your business context in Clarveni as your plans change.
How the analysis worksWhat Clarveni checks for the companies you follow.
Collected for every company you follow
For each company you follow, Clarveni collects news coverage and changes in its company information, including reported leadership changes.
Pages you choose
Clarveni also finds and checks public pricing, changelog and roadmap pages for the companies you follow, and you can add pages yourself.
What’s available varies by company and source. Clarveni prepares your brief once a week.
Set it up once, then read it each week.
Setup asks about your business, the companies to follow and who should receive the brief.
Tell Clarveni about your business
Describe your business: who you sell to, your positioning, your market and your priorities. Every field except your brand name is optional.
Choose the companies to follow
Add the competitors, customers and partners you need to follow, and any other companies that matter to your business, within your allowance.
Receive your weekly brief
Your first brief is prepared as soon as you finish setup, then a new one arrives every Monday.
Briefs are scheduled for Monday mornings in your account’s timezone and cover the seven days to the Friday before. After setup, your dashboard shows when your first brief is ready and the date of the next weekly edition.
Share one brief
One brief for each audience edition. Send the brief to as many colleagues as you like. Everyone you send it to can open the sources from the email, without an account.
Check what supports each main development.
In the email, each main development ends with a View evidence link that opens its sources in Clarveni.
Reported and observed changes are kept apart. Each news source shows a date where one is available, usually when it was reported; some dates are when the article was found, so check the source when timing matters. A change Clarveni found itself shows the date Clarveni observed the change, which is not necessarily the day it happened.
The public sample brief
The sample brief on this site needs no account. Its source notes appear on the example page, so you can explore the evidence alongside the recommendations.
Understand the reasoning. Choose your response.
Business analysis with evidence checks
Clarveni uses AI to assess what company developments mean for your business and recommend what to do next. It draws on your priorities, the available evidence and relevant earlier findings. Automated checks look for problems in the draft, but can’t prove every interpretation is right. Briefs are not edited by hand before they are sent; for founding customers, the founder reads the early briefs first. If you’d like someone on your team to approve it first, turn on review before send.
A quiet week is still a brief
When little has changed, your brief stays short. It still arrives, and it says how many of your selected sources were checked. If a source could not be checked, that is a gap, not proof that nothing changed.
Coverage depends on what is published
Clarveni covers the companies you follow, through the sources described above. It cannot report what those sources do not publish, and it is not built for minute-by-minute updates.
Your team decides what to do
Use each recommendation alongside what your team already knows. You decide whether to act and who takes it forward.
Four principles behind every brief.
An announcement tells you what a company has done. The brief’s job is to say whether it changes anything for your business.
Start from your business
Each development is read against what you have told Clarveni: who you sell to, how you position yourself, what you are working towards and how each company relates to you.
Show what supports the conclusion
Each main development links to its sources. A news source carries a date where one is available, usually when it was reported; a change Clarveni found itself carries the date it was observed.
Say how far the evidence goes
The brief keeps what a source says apart from what it might mean for you, and says plainly what is not yet known. It attaches no confidence score.
Treat holding course as a valid answer
When the evidence does not justify changing your plans, the brief says so and explains why.
Check the fit. If your work depends on minute-by-minute updates, support for individual sales conversations or a complete market dataset, choose a tool built for that job. Clarveni is a focused weekly brief, shaped by the evidence available for the organisations you follow.
Questions about fit and coverage.
Is Clarveni only for technology companies?
No. Clarveni is designed around the companies and developments relevant to your business, rather than a single industry. What it can cover depends on the public sources available.
Which companies can I follow?
Standard offers allowances of 5, 15 or 25 external companies. Enterprise packages cover more than 25 companies. For each one, choose its relationship to your business: competitor, customer, partner, supplier, prospect, investor or another relationship. Clarveni identifies each company from its website. If it cannot find a match, or finds more than one, your account says so rather than following the wrong company.
Does Clarveni monitor in real time?
No. Clarveni works on a weekly cycle. It is not an instant-alert service.
