The shift

Your clients' systems are becoming the reader

Buy-side clients now pull research through their own platforms and AI assistants. Managed well, that shift becomes your strongest channel: client workflows connect directly to you, under your brand, on your terms. The Distribution Hub is how research firms make it work for them.

  • Branded API
  • MCP endpoint
  • Entitlements
  • Audit trail
  • PDF & email
  • SFTP

Who this solves for

Built for key stakeholders across Research Distribution

Research Product & Director of Research

Buy-side LLMs already read your research. Keep it entitled and monitored.

Research Operations & Distribution

More channels, more blind spots. One governed layer closes them.

Cash Equities & Sales

Clients want research inside their own systems. Make yours the path they use.

Distribution Hub

A channel you own, with rules you set

Your channel, your brand

A white-label API and MCP endpoint running on your infrastructure, under your own security policies. Client systems and AI agents retrieve your research directly from you, with your name on every response.

Your entitlement rules

Access is tailored per client and enforced at the endpoint, with fail-safe defaults for restricted, embargoed and region-locked content. Rate limits keep consumption inside what each client pays for.

Every delivery accounted for

Each call is logged in detail: who retrieved what, when, through which channel. The record is ready for compliance reporting, and it turns programmatic delivery into hard evidence for the broker vote.

The channel itself becomes a product

Soft dollar commissions or hard dollar subscriptions, both supported on one platform, with entitlements and logging doing the accounting.

Analytics

Know what earns the broker vote

Digital delivery returns detailed data about how clients consume research: which reports draw attention, which analysts create engagement, which channels get used, including API and AI-driven consumption. Analytics sharpen coverage decisions and integrate with specialized CRM applications, turning consumption into evidence when research spend is negotiated.

Distribution & delivery FAQ

What is the Distribution Hub?+
Branded distribution software that lets a research firm deliver its own research and data to entitled clients through an API and MCP endpoint served under the firm's own name, alongside PDF, email and SFTP delivery. It runs on the firm's own infrastructure, with entitlements the firm sets and audits.
Can clients' AI tools consume our research through it?+
Yes. The MCP endpoint lets client-side AI assistants and agent workflows retrieve research directly, within the entitlements you define. Every retrieval is logged, so programmatic consumption stays visible and attributable instead of anonymous.
Does the Distribution Hub put our research outside our control?+
No. It distributes only content you already hold the rights to, access is enforced per client at the endpoint with fail-safe defaults, rate limiting contains overuse, and every delivery is logged for compliance reporting.
What delivery channels does the platform support?+
A branded API and MCP endpoint for client systems and AI tools, plus PDF, email and SFTP. All formats generate automatically from one approved content base and publish simultaneously.
What consumption analytics are available?+
Data on which reports draw attention, which analysts create engagement and which channels get used, including API and AI-driven consumption, with integration into specialized CRM applications. The same data documents research value for the broker vote.
How are soft dollar and hard dollar models supported?+
Both run on the same platform. Entitlements define who receives what under which commercial arrangement, and delivery logging provides the consumption record each model needs, whether research is paid through commissions or direct subscription.
Where does the Distribution Hub run?+
On the firm's own infrastructure, under its own security policies, in environments certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27017 by the British Standards Institute.
How does it fit an existing delivery stack?+
Standard APIs and webhooks connect delivery to CRM, entitlement systems and client platforms, so the channel joins the firm's existing architecture rather than adding a parallel one.
