This gap in diligence coverage has consequences, as only 30% of organizations report having the bandwidth to assess even half of their business relationships. </p><p> Xapien’s dynamic due diligence platform enables full counterparty coverage and risk visibility without compromising on speed or scale. The AI-native platform delivers on the promise of automation with compliance-grade results. Xapien reads the open web, corporate records, sanctions lists, and media in any language – resolving against the thousands of similarly-named people and entities – then performs human-grade risk analysis and returns a clear, fully sourced and auditable report in minutes, not days. Xapien clients report 90% of onboarding cases can be fully automated and analyst teams can spend time on higher risk complex cases. Currently in beta, Xapien Live gives companies a persistent view of their counterparty<i> </i>risk, enabling them to transition from static, periodic diligence to continuous risk surveillance. </p><p> "Third-party due diligence has remained stubbornly manual for twenty years," said <b>Chris Green, CEO of Xapien</b>. "Hence, businesses have had to ration their scrutiny to a subset of relationships with one-off checks at the point of onboarding, leaving them massively exposed. This funding lets Xapien pursue its mission to give compliance, legal, and procurement teams full visibility on every counterparty, all the time, giving organizations the confidence to move at speed.” </p><p> <b>Adam Margolin, Managing Director, Spectrum Equity added </b>“Xapien represents a rare opportunity for Spectrum to back a team with deep domain expertise that has been laser focused on harnessing innovative AI technology to transform and automate enhanced due diligence. Xapien is fast emerging as a new standard for counterparty risk management, and we are excited to support Chris, Dan and Shaun in this next stage of growth.” </p><p> Xapien was founded in 2018 by Dan Secretan and Shaun O'Mahony along with CEO Chris Green who joined in 2022, all three veterans of BAE Systems' financial crime and national security divisions. The Company serves multinational corporations, law firms, private banks, and leading universities and nonprofits, as well as powering automation for leading professional services firms. The company has seen rapid market adoption, with 350 clients and partners in 15 countries now using Xapien to transform their due diligence capabilities. Representative clients include Greenberg Traurig, ABB, Dow Jones Risk &amp; Compliance, and KPMG. </p><p> Commenting on the role that Xapien has played in modernizing the industry, <b>Joel Lange, EVP &amp; General Manager, Risk and Enterprise Dow Jones said</b> "For too long, compliance teams have had to choose between the depth of their research and the speed at which they need to act. Xapien shows that automation can deliver both, helping organizations conduct rigorous due diligence more efficiently and make faster, smarter risk-based decisions.” </p><p> Built for highly regulated environments, Xapien transforms due diligence workflows and throughput, enabling organizations to scale operations and onboard business partners faster. Xapien’s mission is to make its dynamic due diligence the new global standard by which all organizations manage all third-party risk. </p><p> <b>About Xapien</b> </p><p> Xapien has established a new standard in enterprise due diligence in today's evolving risk landscape.

Digital growth teams have spent a decade optimizing for two audiences: the search engine algorithm and the human scrolling past it. A third audience has emerged that does not scroll at all. It poses a query, receives a synthesized answer, and converts, often without clicking through to a traditional destination page.

<p><strong></strong></p><p><strong> <i>New product helps marketers move beyond channel-level signals to understand which creators and touchpoints are driving revenue.</i> </strong></p><p></p><p>NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 10, 2026--</p><p> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffairing.co&amp;esheet=54601631&amp;newsitemid=20260910626022&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Fairing&amp;index=1&amp;md5=26a5546fafbde29ff9fd5e6fb187d6cb" shape="rect">Fairing</a>, the zero-party data measurement and attribution platform, today announced the launch of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffairing.co%2Fproduct%2Fadvanced-attribution%3Futm_source%3Dbusinesswire%26utm_medium%3Dpr%26utm_campaign%3Dadvanced-attribution&amp;esheet=54601631&amp;newsitemid=20260910626022&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Advanced+Attribution&amp;index=2&amp;md5=be6f7d320ae182e3defa8f0b3f7f4006" shape="rect">Advanced Attribution</a>, a new product that identifies the specific podcasts, TV placements, creators, and AI platforms driving a brand's sales. </p><p> Advanced Attribution builds on the "How did you hear about us?" (HDYHAU) post-purchase survey that Fairing helped popularize. When a customer selects a channel, the product asks a dynamic follow-up question tailored to that answer, turning a channel-level response into a named source. </p><p> Brands are investing more than ever in channels that never produce a measurable click. A customer hears about a product on a podcast, sees a creator use it, or asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, then searches for the brand days later. Pixel-based and modeled attribution credit the last touch, typically search or direct, and the channel that created the demand goes unmeasured. As discovery fragments across audio, video, influencers, and AI, that gap is widening. </p><p> Advanced Attribution closes it by going one level deeper than the standard HDYHAU question. A customer who selects YouTube can identify the creator who influenced them, while someone selecting a Podcast can identify the show. Those citing ChatGPT or another AI assistant can share what they asked. In early rollouts, Advanced Attribution uncovered up to 50% more usable attribution signal from the same order volume, with no change to survey placement or response rates. </p><p> The product also introduces managed auto-suggest lists, which keep response options current without brands maintaining them manually. As customers type a free-form "Other" response, matching options surface in real-time, helping turn otherwise ambiguous answers into structured, actionable attribution data. </p><p> <b>Matt Bahr, co-founder and CEO of Fairing</b>, said: “<i>Marketing measurement has traditionally been very good at telling brands where a conversion happened, but much less effective at explaining what created the demand. That's becoming a bigger problem as more discovery happens in environments that never produce a click. Advanced Attribution gives brands a layer of evidence no pixel or model can: the customer's own account of what influenced their decision, captured in enough detail to act on."</i>” </p><p> <b>Jessica C. VP of Operations, </b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fpodscalemedia.com&amp;esheet=54601631&amp;newsitemid=20260910626022&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Podscale&amp;index=3&amp;md5=21b6766396803ece99e6655a0d22acb4" shape="rect"><b>Podscale</b></a><b> </b>said: “<i>Knowing a customer heard about a brand through a podcast doesn't provide advertisers with enough information. We need to understand which shows influence purchases, so we can make better decisions about where to invest and how to scale campaigns. Advanced Attribution gives us that additional level of insight directly from the customer, helping connect individual podcast placements more clearly to revenue</i>.” </p><p> Advanced Attribution launches on September 10 in beta, with brands able to request early access to the new functionality, while Fairing continues to develop the product based on customer usage and feedback. The company plans to expand the feature set over the coming months ahead of general availability in January 2027. </p><p> <b>About Fairing</b> </p><p> Fairing is the attribution platform that turns direct customer feedback into reliable marketing attribution data. By transforming in-moment, zero-party signals into marketing clarity, Fairing helps brands uncover what truly drives discovery and purchase across all channels - even those traditional analytics can’t measure. The result is accurate, privacy-safe attribution data that connects every marketing moment without relying on cookies, pixels, or guesswork. </p><p><img alt="" src="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20260910626022r1&amp;sid=ventb&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en" style="width:0;height:0"><span class="bwct31415"></span></p><p id="mmgallerylink"><span id="mmgallerylink-phrase">View source version on businesswire.com: </span><span id="mmgallerylink-link"><a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260910626022/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260910626022/en/</a></span></p><p> <b>Media contact </b><br><a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:jennie.sheldon@bluestripegroup.co.uk" shape="rect">jennie.sheldon@bluestripegroup.co.uk </a><br> <br><b>Business &amp; sales contact </b><br><a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:hello@fairing.co" shape="rect">hello@fairing.co</a> </p>
