The publishing problem
Most authors fail because they write the wrong book.
Publishers, agencies, and editorial teams face the same problem at scale: choosing projects before the market proves demand.
Months of effort. Years of waiting. And the market never wanted the book in the first place. Veritas helps you identify opportunities before you invest a single word.
- Picking topics nobody is searching for
- Entering oversaturated categories blindly
- Missing rising niches by months
- Writing for taste instead of demand
Platform

The dashboard turns book ideas, trend signals, reports, watchlists, and API data into one decision layer.
Watchlists
Track topics and categories over time. Get notified when demand, competition, or growth crosses a threshold.
Portfolio Monitoring
See your category exposure at a glance. Identify concentration risk and emerging opportunities across your portfolio.
Opportunity Tracking
Every saved opportunity follows a status workflow — new, researching, writing, publishing. Know where each project stands.
Projects
Group opportunities, reports, and watchlist entries into named projects. A shared workspace for teams and agencies.
Research Reports
20-section PDF reports covering demand, competition, audience, positioning, and title recommendations. Client-ready.
Intelligence Briefing
Every visit starts with a concise briefing — rising opportunities, watchlist moves, and emerging clusters. Know what matters now.
Developer APIs
The same intelligence powering the dashboard is available via REST APIs. Integrate with your own platforms and workflows.
Intelligence Model
Six Layers of Book Market Intelligence
Our model combines multiple analysis dimensions into a single, actionable Opportunity Score — so you know not just what’s trending, but whether you should act on it.
Reader Demand
91Measures reader interest through search volume, social engagement, and consumption patterns.
Competition Density
58Evaluates landscape density — number of titles, saturation level, and positioning overlap.
Growth Trajectory
76Tracks velocity of change across demand and competition signals over time.
Audience Fit
84Measures alignment with reader demographics, reading habits, and purchase intent.
Market Timing
72Evaluates whether the opportunity window is open, peaking, or closing.
Category Fit
68Assesses how well a topic fits within existing category taxonomies and reader expectations.
Future Data Sources
- Publishing sales metadata (coming Q3)
- Social sentiment analysis (in development)
- Reader review mining (research phase)
Integration Layer
- REST API for custom integrations
- Webhook delivery for real-time signals
- PDF export with signed share links
Confidence Scoring
- Every signal tagged with confidence level
- Scores recalculated on each data refresh
- Historical tracking for trend analysis
Scoring model
How opportunity scores are calculated.
Every score is traceable. No black box.
Weighting
Demand+40%
Growth+40%
Competition-20%
MVP Score
Opportunity Score = Demand × 0.4 + Growth × 0.4 − Competition × 0.2
The MVP score begins with demand, growth, and competition, then expands through audience fit, market timing, and category fit as more signals are available.
Every opportunity score combines these signals and produces a single defensible recommendation. Adjustments to the formula are announced in the changelog before they ship.

Research principles
Built on transparent principles.
These four commitments shape every product decision we make — from the data sources we trust to the recommendations we generate.
- 01
Transparency beats magic
Every score is explainable. We show the formula, the source of every input, and the confidence we have in the result.
- 02
Authors are researchers
Writing begins with inquiry. Veritas exists to make that inquiry fast, structured, and grounded in evidence.
- 03
Markets leave signals
Demand is knowable. It shows up in search behaviour, catalogue velocity, and the long tail of what readers are quietly asking for.
- 04
Evidence over guesswork
We design for the writer who would rather see a graph than a hot take. Data, not vibes.

Enter a topic
Type a topic, keyword, or category you’re considering — from “Roman Empire” to “stoicism for founders.”
- STEP 02
Veritas analyzes market signals
We score live signals across demand, competition, growth, and audience interest in real time.
- STEP 03
Receive an opportunity score
