The 'Companies' tab after running a Finder search offers a holistic market map based on our algorithmic output based on how companies describe themselves.

The 'Relationships' tab on a company profile allows you to view subsidiary relationships, industry classifications and company-identified competitors, as well as customers, suppliers, and partners.

Specifically, company-identified competitors, named by company itself, either publicly, through filings, or on a website. This gives you a better understanding of how they view themselves strategically.

The 'IP' tab on a company profile allows you to view published patents and see who holds similar patents.

Within the 'View Similar Patent Data' is where you can access which companies hold similar patents to the company.
