# Phronel.ai

> Type a company in, get the decision back. P15 market waves, CRI readiness and thesis fit as one API call, one CLI command or one MCP tool.

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:

  <Card title="REST" icon="code" href="/phronel/quickstart">
    `POST /v1/runs` then poll. Every response is JSON; the report is JSON, HTML or PDF.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Command line" icon="terminal" href="/phronel/cli">
    `npx phronel run monzo.com --wait`. JSON when piped, structured errors, exit codes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="MCP" icon="plug" href="/phronel/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](/api-overview) 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](https://phronel.ai) landing page carries the current figures.
