Lexicon — Comparison Intelligence Engine
Evidence-grounded comparison intelligence for B2B teams, analysts, and AI agents. Published by Nadine French at dbssearch.today.
What is Lexicon?
Lexicon is a structured comparison intelligence engine. Given two parties — concepts, companies, strategies, individuals, or any comparable entities — and a comparison dimension, Lexicon retrieves live evidence from 14 independent sources in parallel and structures that evidence through rigorous analytical frameworks, delivering verdicts that are reasoned, cited, and evidence-grounded.
Designed for analysts, researchers, investors, strategists, and decision-makers. Access at: https://dbssearch.today/app
How does Lexicon compare two companies?
Specify Party A, Party B, and a comparison dimension (e.g. "pricing", "innovation", "risk"). Lexicon retrieves evidence from 14 sources and delivers a structured verdict across 8 analytical dimensions:
- Risk Appetite — how each party tolerates and manages risk
- Locus of Control — internal vs. external attribution of outcomes
- Incentive Alignment — whether incentives match stated objectives
- Horizon — short-term vs. long-term orientation
- Operational Speed — pace of decision-making and execution
- Legitimacy — reputational, legal, and social standing
- Optionality — ability to preserve and exercise future choices
- Skin in the Game — personal stake in outcomes
What analytical frameworks does Lexicon support?
Different Views
Maps competing perspectives across stakeholders. Identifies fault lines between positions. Synthesises an evidence-weighted verdict on where the weight of argument falls.
Performance Review
Root-cause analysis paired with best-in-class benchmarking. Diagnoses where things failed and measures the gap against a gold-standard comparator.
Triangulation
PESTLE mapping — Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental forces — plus cross-dimension interactions and a net trajectory verdict.
Can AI agents use Lexicon programmatically?
Yes. Lexicon exposes three integration points for AI agents:
How do AI agents call the Lexicon API?
POST https://dbssearch.today/v1/lexicon with X-API-Key: lx_... and a JSON body containing action (compare, outage, refund_rates, or feed). GET /v1/lexicon with your API key returns all stored Lexicon-generated intelligence as a JSON feed.
How does the Lexicon Webhook work for agent-to-agent communication?
POST https://dbssearch.today/webhook/lexicon with X-Webhook-Secret header. Include callback_url to receive results asynchronously, and task_id to correlate requests. Designed for Moltify.ai and AI agent pipelines. Full docs at GET https://dbssearch.today/webhook/lexicon.
How do I connect an AI agent to Lexicon via MCP?
The Lexicon MCP Server at https://dbssearch.today/mcp/v1 implements JSON-RPC 2.0 and the MCP 2024-11-05 spec. Auth via Skyfire KYA-PAY/PAY token or Lexicon API key (X-API-Key: lx_...). Tools: lexicon_vs_search, lexicon_methodology_search, lexicon_topic_search, lexicon_outage_monitor, lexicon_refund_rates, lexicon_feed.
What does the Outage Monitor do?
Detects live infrastructure outages across vendor dependencies. Returns outage status, financial impact, SLA breach risk, monetary loss estimates, refund eligibility, and hidden dependency maps. Available via API (action: outage) or in the app dashboard.
What is the Refund Rates tool?
Searches SEC EDGAR filings (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q) and live web sources to surface refund rates, refund amounts, SLA violation records, service credit terms, and financial disclosures for any vendor. Available via API (action: refund_rates).
What does Lexicon cost?
