Change has never moved faster.
Headlines evolve by the minute, but true understanding rarely keeps pace. The people actually driving change — the ones building, operating, and researching — are often left out of the public conversation.
Acutus was built to change that.
We connect directly with professionals and practitioners across industries — people working inside companies, institutions, and research labs — to surface what they're seeing and thinking in real time.
Acutus isn't another media outlet.
It's an intelligence platform designed to capture the world's operational knowledge — drawn from those who live it every day.
Where traditional reporting relies on a handful of familiar sources, Acutus scales that reach — engaging hundreds of verified practitioners across policy, energy, technology, finance, healthcare, and more.
Each brief distills what these practitioners are observing, where they agree or diverge, and what those signals mean for business, markets, and society.
It's not speculation — it's understanding, grounded in experience.
In an age where headlines move faster than facts, breadth and depth of perspective have become the new measure of truth.
Acutus captures that breadth — organizing insight from hundreds of practitioners across fields into intelligence that helps leaders see what's really happening beneath the noise.
• Investors and analysts tracking early signals of change across industries
• Decision-makers and policy professionals who need verified, real-world perspectives fast
• Organizations and communications teams working to elevate practitioner voices in public discourse

Questions about Acutus, our contributors, pricing, and how the platform works
General Questions
What is Acutus?
Acutus is an expert intelligence platform that connects verified contributors (subject-matter experts) across industries with decision-makers. We conduct structured interviews with domain experts, then aggregate and publish their insights as data-rich briefs for subscribers.
How is Acutus different from traditional news or research services?
Unlike traditional media that relies on a handful of quoted sources, Acutus interviews dozens or hundreds of verified practitioner contributors simultaneously. This means broader perspectives, faster insights, and depth grounded in real-world expertise rather than punditry.
Who are your contributors?
Acutus draws insight from verified practitioners — professionals working inside the companies, institutions, and research labs shaping their fields. Our contributors include engineers, analysts, investors, founders, researchers, and policy professionals with real-world experience and domain expertise. Each is verified for authenticity and relevance before joining the network — not for follower counts.
What topics do you cover?
We cover a wide range of domains including energy policy, technology, finance, healthcare, supply chain, manufacturing, climate, and geopolitics. Our coverage is driven by what matters most to business leaders, investors, and policymakers.

Visit our contributor application page to learn more about the benefits and requirements. We're looking for domain experts with real-world professional experience across a range of industries.
What qualifications do I need?
We look for professionals with genuine domain expertise — people working inside companies, institutions, or research organizations with direct knowledge of their fields. This includes engineers, analysts, investors, founders, researchers, and policy professionals. Verification is based on expertise and experience, not social media presence.
Are contributors compensated?
Yes. Contributors are compensated for their time and expertise based on the depth and value of their insights. Compensation details are shared during the onboarding process.
How much time does contributing require?
Time commitment varies. Most interviews are asynchronous and take 15-30 minutes. You choose which topics to engage with based on your expertise and availability.
