Verdict
Not a fractional CFO firm — an IP-analytics platform that quantifies patent portfolio strength. Included as a hybrid pick because some CFOs use it as their source-of-truth for IP valuation. Pair with a human fractional CFO (#1, #3, #4) for full coverage.
What customers praise
Deepest IP-analytics platform on the market; LexisNexis-owned reliability; quantitative patent strength scoring used by Big-4 valuation teams.
What customers criticise
Not a CFO function — analytical platform only. Pricing is enterprise.
Best for
Finance teams that already have a CFO and want an IP-analytics platform layer for portfolio valuation and competitive IP intelligence
