About Dossier Intel

Dossier Intel exists for one buyer: the fractional executive who needs board-ready research this week, not a $50K engagement next quarter.

Fractional CFOs, CMOs, COOs, and CTOs walk into new engagements with days to get smart on a market they may never have touched. The traditional options don't fit: enterprise research firms price for corporate budgets, and DIY research burns the hours you're actually being paid for. We sit in the middle — fixed scope, fixed price, delivered in days.

How the research gets made

Every dossier runs through the same six-phase pipeline: intake and scope confirmation, foundation research across primary sources, deep synthesis, strategic framing, a quality-checklist review, and delivery. AI handles the breadth and speed — scanning filings, clustering reviews, compressing desk research that used to take days. Human judgment handles what AI can't: deciding what matters, what it means for your specific decision, and what to do next.

AI accelerates the process. It doesn't replace the process.

Sourcing standards

Every claim in a dossier carries a named source. The source trail at the back of each deliverable classifies every reference into three tiers: primary (SEC filings, government data, court records, named executive disclosures), secondary (major business press and named analyst firms), and tertiary (trade press and named industry commentary). Where a figure is modeled or vendor-self-reported rather than independently audited, the dossier says so in plain text — not in a footnote.

The biggest risk isn't the strategy — it's the strategy built on bad research. Sourcing discipline is the product.

Who's behind it

Dossier Intel was founded by Josh Miller, a researcher and consultant who built the service after watching the same pattern repeat: smart operators making big decisions on thin, unsourced research because properly sourced research was priced out of reach. The firm's bet is that rigorous, source-trailed research can be productized — same methodology every time, fixed price, no scope creep.
