Ask a hard US GAAP question in plain English. An orchestrator plans the research, parallel researchers sweep the Big 4 handbooks, and a verifier checks every citation before you see the answer.
A real answer from the product, shortened to fit.
One model answering from memory is how citations get invented. ResearchIQ splits the work the way a firm would: a planner, researchers working in parallel, and a reviewer who checks the support before anything reaches you.
It decomposes your question and fans research tasks out to parallel researcher agents. When the question crosses standards, the plan does too: a replacement-award question pulls the share-based payment guidance on its own.
Each one runs varied retrieval queries over 27 indexed Big 4 handbooks from KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte, plus FASB and SEC sources: 33K+ guidance passages across 23 ASC topics.
Before the answer is displayed, a second model checks each cited claim against its source text and strips what it cannot support: the guard against hallucinated cites.
The conclusion comes first, then the support. Review starts where a reviewer would start.
The answer is not a wall of prose to take on faith. What survives verification stays clickable, and where the firms read a judgment area differently, you see the split.
Every claim carries a pill that opens the handbook at the exact page with the supporting text highlighted. No hunting through a PDF for the sentence that supposedly supports the conclusion.
When the Big 4 read a judgment area differently, the answer shows the positions side by side instead of blending them into a consensus that exists nowhere. You make the call with the split in view.
Treat every answer as a research starting point, not professional advice: the citations stay clickable so a qualified professional can verify the work. Verification is enforced in code, and your questions stay confidential. How we protect your work is on the trust page.
A research session is one thread on one question. Ask follow-ups, request tables, push back on the answer: it all belongs to the same session, because interrogating a conclusion is the work, not an extra.
Interrogate the answer as long as you need. Follow-ups, tables, and pushback are all part of one research session, so checking an answer is never rationed.
The free plan includes one full research session, cited and verified, plus one memo, one disclosure, one policy, and two schedules to try. No credit card required to start.
Professional is $149 per month, or $1,490 per year (two months free), with 20 research sessions a month. Enterprise is $399 per month, or $3,990 per year, with unlimited sessions.
Professional sessions reset monthly. Compare plans on the pricing page.
ResearchIQ is one of the seven tools on GAAP IQ, and every plan includes all of them. The conclusion you land here flows into the documents your auditors actually read.
Prefer to see the research worked through first? Three fact patterns are written up in the guides, including the five-step ASC 606 walk for advisory fees. The full platform tour is on the AI technical accounting software page.
General chatbots answer from training data and have no page-level citations to interpretive guidance. ResearchIQ retrieves from an indexed corpus of 27 Big 4 handbooks plus FASB and SEC sources, and a verifier model checks every citation against its source text before the answer is shown, stripping anything it cannot support. Every surviving claim carries a clickable citation that opens the handbook at the exact page with the supporting text highlighted.
The corpus indexes 27 Big 4 interpretive handbooks from KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte alongside FASB and SEC sources: 33K+ searchable guidance passages across 23 ASC topics, including revenue recognition under ASC 606 and leases under ASC 842, and it keeps growing.
No. A research session is one thread on one question: follow-ups, requests for tables, and pushback on an answer all belong to the same session and never count as new sessions. Professional includes 20 research sessions a month; Enterprise sessions are unlimited.
Before an answer is displayed, a verifier model checks each cited claim against the source text it references and strips unsupported citations. What survives is clickable: every pill opens the handbook at the exact page with the supporting text highlighted, so you can read the guidance yourself.
Treat it as a research starting point, not professional advice. Every conclusion carries clickable citations so a qualified professional can verify it, and answers open with the bottom line so review starts with the conclusion, not the search.
The free plan includes one full research session, cited and verified. Bring a real question and check every pill yourself.
