How it works
Google Ads Planner
1. AI agents pull the public and private trail
We collect more than 30 public signals for the business and its strongest competitors, from ad activity and search demand to founder distribution, reviews, traffic, content, and AI visibility.
2. Compare like with like
The target and its competitors go through the same benchmarks across acquisition, funnel quality, product, content, reviews, and design. That makes the gaps, strengths, and suspicious claims easier to see.
3. Agent findings and evidence are analysed by me.
Agents normalize and cross-check the evidence. I crunch the numbers, resolve contradictions, apply operating context, and decide what matters for the deal.

About me
I've been a VC investor, an AI engineer, and a software founder. I bring all three lenses to the deal.
I spent the last three years at a blue-chip global VC, evaluating hundreds of deals across AI, SaaS, and other internet businesses. The job was to move past the pitch and examine the founders, market, competition, traction, acquisition channels, retention, pricing, product quality, design, taste, and whether the numbers actually supported the story.
That meant living in data. I would pull from many sources, reconcile conflicting signals, reconstruct funnels, compare a company with its competitors, and work out what it would really take to win across search, content, social, paid acquisition, and product-led growth.
After enough deals, you build a feel for the benchmarks. You learn what a healthy funnel looks like, which channels tend to work at each stage, where growth usually breaks, when good design is doing real commercial work, and when a business has more upside than its current numbers reveal.
