The ecosystem expansion is equally notable. New connectors include Dun & Bradstreet (business identity verification), SS&C IntraLinks (data rooms and due diligence), Verisk (underwriting data), Guidepoint and Third Bridge (expert interviews for compliance), IBISWorld (industry financial ratios), Fiscal AI and Financial Modeling Prep (real-time fundamentals and quotes).
Moody's connects via an MCP application, offering credit rating data on over 600 million public and private companies. The density of this ecosystem determines how deep the agents can actually research and analyze.
