Transfer Pricing Web Research

Automated comparables research, backed by evidence.

TP Scout is a research tool for transfer pricing advisory firms and in-house teams.

An example run: TP Scout finds a company's website, looks for its tax ID, address and name on the site, screenshots its activity pages, writes a short summary and gives a match grade from A+ to F.

One company through the evidence chain. Illustrative companies.

Comparability research is only as strong as the evidence behind it.

TP Scout applies the same review process to every company on your list, captures the proof, and records the rationale behind each decision.

You get the consistency of a single reviewer across the entire set, without any of the hours it would normally take.

From raw export to final set of comparables, in four steps

TP Scout preserves the complete route from source to approved output, including the points where the system assists and the professional decides.

Moving from past studies? At onboarding, we import all your existing benchmarking data, so you can reuse it automatically to maintain a consistent approach between past and new analysed periods.

  1. Upload

    Drop in your Orbis export with its BvD column names. Name the project, pick the summary language, and the company list builds itself.

    benchmark_2026.xlsx Sheet "Companies": Company name, Address, City, Country, BvD ID, NACE, Website
  2. Verify & crawl

    Each company's website is checked against its tax ID, registered address and name. Where the export lists no usable site, TP Scout searches for one and holds it to a stricter standard.

  3. Capture & summarize

    Accepted sites are crawled and up to 20 activity pages are screenshotted. A summary of at most four sentences is written in the language you chose, one of 43.

  4. Review & export

    Check the results, override any website, and export them for your documentation, with a ZIP holding a screenshot of every website.

Every verdict carries its grade

A website is accepted on the strongest proof found on it, and the grade says which proof that was. Your reviewer knows at a glance how firmly each company is placed.

Direct proof

A+
Tax ID and address both found
A
Tax ID found on the site
B
Street and city match

Name-only proof, accepted only when nothing stronger turns up

C
Company name and city
D

Rejected

F
No match, with a written reason, and a screenshot of the listed site where there is one

The whole list, in one view you can review

Grade, verified website, summary and screenshots sit on one row per company. Nothing is hidden behind the result.
