How It Works

Franchise Signal separates data access from AI usage so you only pay for the brands, years, and workflows you need.

1

Choose Brand-Years

Select the franchise brands and FDD filing years you want to access. Each brand-year is $50.

2

Unlock YoY Analysis

When you purchase more than one year for a brand, Franchise Signal includes year-over-year delta analysis for that brand.

3

Query With MCP

Connect Franchise Signal via MCP and use AI credits for grounded franchise diligence workflows.

What A Brand-Year Includes

A brand-year is access to one annual FDD filing for one franchise brand. For example, Crumbl 2025 is one brand-year and Crumbl 2026 is another brand-year.

  • FDD download access for that brand and year
  • Structured FDD data available for research workflows
  • MCP access to query that purchased filing
  • Included YoY delta report when adjacent years are owned
