Find people with experienceyou can’t search for by title.
Daero turns a messy request into the right people, not just people with adjacent titles. Each one comes with why they fit, what the evidence actually establishes and what to confirm before outreach.
Example: a request, the criteria Daero checks, and one fictional person with the evidence for each point.

The problem
Titles, keywords and networks miss the right people.
Titles
Say what someone was called.
Not what they actually did. The person who led the work often never had the obvious title.
Keywords
Find pages that mention the words.
Not the person behind the work, or whether they did it themselves.
Networks
Start from who is already on the books.
Human-service expert networks begin with their own pool, not with what the person must have done.
Daero
Starts from the action.
It reads interviews, trade articles, publications, case studies and conference talks for evidence of what the person did.
How it works
Describe. Check the reading. Review the proof.
01
Describe the person you need.
A messy request is fine: who the person is, what they must have done, in what context and what rules them out. Pick how many people and the lowest project fit you’ll accept.

Check what Daero understood.
Daero breaks the request into the person, the action, the context, the exclusions and the constraints, and shows every point it will check. Nothing is searched until you confirm.

Before searching
Check what Daero understood
Nothing has been searched yet. Fix anything that’s wrong so the search looks for the right people.
Before Daero searches
Must the person still be in that role?
A current or former role counts · Daero’s pick
In the role now · the search then requires: Is in the role now
What the search checks for each person
From your request as you’ve left it above. A person counts only when a source shows every must-have.

Get people ranked by fit, with proof kept separate.
Daero searches the public web and reads the pages it finds. Each person shows why they fit, what supports it, what remains uncertain and what to confirm.

A result, up close
The evidence, and the gaps, on every person.
Fit, evidence and whether a role is current are shown as separate facts. Where Daero couldn’t check something, it says so instead of guessing.
✓Supported. Quoted from a public page Daero read.
?Confirm. A point to check before outreach.

Plain boundaries
What Daero is, and what it isn’t.
Daero is
Software your team runs on its own requests.
A search of public sources that reads the pages it finds.
A clear reading of your request, shown before anything is searched.
Evidence, currentness and open points for each person.
Daero isn’t
An expert network, a private network or a pre-vetted pool.
An outreach tool. Daero doesn’t contact anyone; your team decides who to approach, outside Daero.
A source of contact details. It doesn’t promise them.
A guarantee. Where it can’t check a role or claim, it says so.
Who it’s for
Built first for three kinds of work.
Executive recruiting
Find candidates who have done the exact job, not only held the title.
“Find executives who have led this specific transformation.”
Expert-network and investment research
Find the practitioners and KOLs behind a niche question, and see why each one may be worth a call.
“Find physicians who have actually used this treatment pathway.”
Consulting and diligence
Find operators, former buyers and specialists who have seen a market from the inside.
“Find operators who have dealt with this niche regulatory or commercial problem.”
Also used for healthcare, founder, operator and strategy questions: any hard “who has done this?” request you can describe in plain English. These are the kinds of requests Daero is built for, not reported results.
Evidence, limits and review
Built for responsible review.
Daero never turns “possible” into “verified”. A highly relevant person stays visible even when public evidence is thin, with exactly what to confirm. When fewer people meet your minimum fit than you asked for, Daero says so instead of lowering it.
Daero is early software. Treat every shortlist as a starting point for your own judgment.
