Terms
Last updated 12 November 2026
These terms cover your use of this website and of briefs you order from Brief Before. Questions: info@briefbefore.com.
The service
Brief Before prepares one-page meeting briefs about the people and organizations you are meeting. Each brief is researched with search and deep-research tools, then checked line by line by a person before delivery. Facts carry their source. Anything we could not confirm is labeled or removed.
What “human-verified” means
A person has checked each line of the brief against its source before delivery. It does not mean the brief is free of errors: public sources can be incomplete or out of date. Use your own judgment, and treat anything labeled as an inference as unconfirmed.
Not professional advice
A brief is preparation material for a meeting. It is not legal, financial, medical, investment or compliance advice. You are responsible for how you use it, including any rules your firm or industry applies to client contact.
Your request
Send only information you are allowed to share with us. We use it only to prepare your brief. We do not research home addresses, family details or anything not on the public record, and we may decline a request.
Prices and plans
Prices are in U.S. dollars and are listed on our pricing section. Turnaround times are typical, not promised, and run in business days. Monthly plan details, such as included briefs and rollover, are as described on the pricing section when you order. Team plans and pilots are agreed in writing.
Use of briefs
Briefs are for your use and your firm’s internal use. Please don’t publish or resell them.
