The record, not the pitch

Companies describe themselves in decks and press releases. They reveal themselves on their live sites and products. Bixel reads the second kind of surface and keeps the record: dated, sourced, and honest about how each fact was obtained.

What Bixel is

Bixel is a living catalogue of company records, built from what companies actually do in public: their current state across ten dimensions (pricing, features, security, reliability, hiring, stack, positioning, funding, location, and legal) plus a dated history of every change.

The record is readable by people, as pages, and will be queryable by agents, over REST and MCP, with the same provenance on every response. Request access and you'll be first.

How the record is built

Bixel watches the surfaces where companies can't help being honest: the pages they publish, the infrastructure they run, the roles they hire for. Every original capture is kept, permanently and provably, so the record can always be re-read and re-proven.

From those captures, Bixel distills structured facts, each dated and traceable to its source. When something changes, the record remembers: what it was, what it became, and when.

And every fact is honest about where it came from. What a company states about itself is never blended with what Bixel observes; where the two agree, the record marks it verified. Where signals are thin, the record says so instead of pretending.

The crawler is identified, respects robots.txt, never evades a block, and supports opt-out. Details on the BixelBot page.

What Bixel refuses to do

No fabricated values, ever: every number on a Bixel page traces to a real capture of a real page. No blended provenance: a claim is never silently promoted to a fact. No padded coverage: when a company's surfaces can't be captured, its record says “limited coverage” instead of pretending. And no claimed-versus-observed verdict is ever published for a named company without real evidence on both sides.

Why it exists

The story of why this is being built, in the founder's own words: Why I'm Building Bixel. The short version: buying, evaluating, and watching companies all run on data those companies curate about themselves. A record built from what they actually do, kept honestly, compounds into something more useful.
