Questions, answered.

What exactly is Acubrief?

Acubrief is a strategic intelligence service for SME and small-cap leaders. You email a strategic question — on regulation, geopolitics, climate, supply chain or new markets — and receive a documented, sourced analysis within 24 business hours, written and fact-checked by a human expert.

Is this just another AI chatbot?

No. Every answer is produced by a human expert, supported by AI that runs only on our proprietary databases, built and verified over more than 25 years. Nothing is auto-generated and sent without expert review, and no answer is pulled from the open web.

How fast do I get my analysis?

Within 24 business hours on the Standard plan, and the same business day on Pro. Each response is reviewed by a human expert before it reaches you, so speed never comes at the expense of accuracy.

What does a typical answer look like?

A structured brief: a direct 2-3 sentence summary, 3-5 documented key points with explicit citations, the concrete business impact for your size, sector and geography, and 1-2 priority actions. Every source is cited.

What topics and regions do you cover?

Regulation and compliance, geopolitics, climate, supply chain and market entry, across the EU and the US. When a question needs a deeper conversation, you can also book a one-to-one expert session.

How much does it cost?

Two monthly plans, Standard and Pro — both excl. VAT, cancellable anytime, with a 30-day free trial. One-hour expert sessions are €450 for subscribers instead of €800. Current plan prices are shown in the pricing section.

How do I get started?

Start a 30-day free trial on Standard or Pro, then email your first question to ask@acubrief.com. There is no platform to learn and no dashboard — just an inbox and an analysis that helps you decide.
