Franchise disclosure intelligence
The franchise disclosure corpus, answerable in a sentence.
Every franchisor in the United States files an FDD. The answers investors and suppliers need are in them — buried across thousands of documents and hundreds of pages each. Yluminate turns that pile into a database you can ask a question.
Brand and disclosure tables only. Operator and franchisee contact records are not part of the demo.

Why you can use this in a memo
Every answer is footnoted to an FDD page.
Ask what a disclosure document says— about territory, transfer rights, renewal, or fees — and the answer comes back with the verbatim sentence and the page it sits on. You are not asked to take a language model’s word for it. You are handed the source and can go read it.
Where an FDD is silent, Yluminate says so rather than guessing. Undisclosed is a real answer, and it is reported as undisclosed — never as zero.
“We will not establish another franchised or company-owned outlet offering similar products and services within your Designated Territory…”
Who queries it
Venture & growth capital
Screen a category before you meet the founder. Unit economics, fee load, and outlet trajectory across every brand in the space — not the three you already knew about.
Private equity
Diligence a target against its own peer set. Compare Item 7 investment ranges, Item 19 disclosure posture, and 3-year outlet churn without paying an analyst to read 400 pages.
Franchise suppliers
Find the brands that actually fit your product — by segment, unit count, growth rate, and territory model — then export the operator list you need to reach them.
Franchisors
See exactly how your FDD reads next to your competitors': fees, territory grants, transfer terms, and financial performance representations, side by side.
How it works
01
Ask in plain English
No SQL, no schema to learn. The question above is the whole interface.
02
Read the answer and the query
You get the rows, the interpretation, and the exact SQL that produced them. Nothing is a black box you have to trust.
03
Export what you need
Pull the result set down as CSV. Rows are priced per row and charged once — an answer you already paid to see is credited against its export.
Pricing
Prepaid credit packs — no seat licenses, no annual contract. You are billed for what you actually consume: the compute a question costs, and the rows you take with you.
Questions
$1.00 each
A dollar a question, plus the compute it takes and the rows it returns. Every answer is a real answer over the whole corpus, cited to the page it came from.
Brand & FDD data
$0.01 per row
Investment ranges, fees, outlet counts, territory terms, disclosure language. Export as CSV.
Contact rows
$0.10 per row
Operator and franchisee records. Priced per row, whether they arrive in an answer or in a CSV — you pay for the list you take, once.
Self-serve returns the corpus as it stands. If you need a list researched, verified, and enriched by a human before you act on it, that is what FranInsights is for — ask us.
