Give Cerna a brief. Get a sourced shortlist back — same product, same pipeline, same QA bar as a paid one.
what happens next
Three steps. No hype.
We confirm the rubric.
Any must-have criterion that can't be operationalized against public evidence gets flagged back. Usually one round. Goal: every criterion is checkable before the pipeline runs.
The pipeline runs.
Your shortlist is delivered to a shared Slack Connect channel once QA clears every claim.
what you get
Same product, whether it's the first or the fiftieth.
Same pipeline. Same sourcing discipline. Same QA bar.
On-spec matches.
Executives who satisfy every must-have. Confirmed role history, per-criterion rubric scores, source citations, contact info, depth signals — all sourced.
Strong laterals.
Executives who miss a criterion but share the operational substance. Each entry includes specific reasoning — which criterion is missed, which are satisfied, why they're worth attention.
QA-cleared before delivery.
A separate adversarial pass reviews every claim before it reaches you. Mis-attributed evidence, unsupported assertions, and vague sources are caught and resolved.
