A thesis we can screen tomorrow
Industrial automation system integrators with recurring service/support contracts, founder-led, specializing in PLC/SCADA/HMI systems for manufacturing or process industries.

You write the thesis. We screen 120M+ domains against it and send back every qualifying company with evidence — 1–2 business days for a pilot, weeks for a full run. The result is proprietary deal flow: a map of owner-operators no broker list carries, ready for direct, off-market outreach.

Signals that matter in this vertical

Key signals extracted for Automation & Controls Integrators

Recurring support contracts

Platform specialization (Rockwell, Siemens)

Founder/family association

End-market concentration

Panel-build vs. integration mix

Hiring posture

All 35+ signals from the framework are extracted — these carry the most weight in Automation & Controls Integrators. That includes succession-relevant context the company states itself: founder-led, family-owned, second-generation — captured as verbatim evidence, never inferred. No "ready to sell" flags, no revenue guesses.

Brokered deals are auctions. The long tail is where searchers win.

Every searcher in this space is working the same broker lists and the same databases. Brokered deals are auctions; proprietary outreach into the long tail is where searchers win — and the long tail is the only thing we sell. The owner-operators that never list — founder-led, quietly profitable, no reason to sell today — are the off-market companies worth finding. We screen the entire web, not the databases everyone already has.
