phronel.ai is the headless version of Phronel, Caplia’s decision-intelligence model. You give it a company (a name, a website or a Companies House number) and it returns a decision report: where the company sits in its market waves (P15), how ready it is to raise (CRI, when you attach a deck) and how well it fits your thesis (when you add one). It is built for AI agents first. Three surfaces, one key:

REST

POST /v1/runs then poll. Every response is JSON; the report is JSON, HTML or PDF.

Command line

npx phronel run monzo.com --wait. JSON when piped, structured errors, exit codes.

MCP

Add https://mcp.phronel.ai to Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT and ask for a run in plain language.

​
How a run works

  1. You start a run with a company. Phronel resolves it (or creates it in your pipeline) and enrols it for collection.
  2. Phronel collects the company’s market-wave signals from the open web: hiring, funding, product, press, competitors. This is deep research and takes a few minutes.
  3. The decision report is composed from those signals, plus CRI and thesis fit if a deck and a thesis are present.
  4. You get the report back by polling, by email, or by webhook. Reading a run also advances it, so a poll is never wasted.
Run states are enrolled, scored, composing, complete and failed. A failed run refunds a paid credit.

​
Pricing

Three runs a month are free on every workspace. After that you buy credits in advance; the per-run price falls with monthly volume. GET https://api.phronel.ai/v1/pricing returns the live ladder without a key.

​
The same key everywhere

A Phronel key is a Caplia investor key (cap_inv_live_… or cap_inv_test_…). It works on api.phronel.ai, on mcp.phronel.ai, and on the wider Venture API on the same host, so a run can be followed by deck upload, thesis management, deal-flow reads and everything else in this documentation. Test keys route to the sandbox (api-sandbox.phronel.ai, mcp-sandbox.phronel.ai); live keys route to production.

​
Validation

Phronel’s scoring was validated with the University of Oxford’s entrepreneurship programme, where CRI was scored against real investment outcomes. The phronel.ai landing page carries the current figures.
