# Find your research for a company

[Canonical page](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/company-research/your-research/)

## Applicability

- **Task:** Find existing work associated with a selected company
- **Access:** Portrait account
- **Audience:** Portrait users returning to company-related work
- **Surfaces:** web
- **Availability:** Production with account-dependent conversation surfaces
- **Content type:** how-to
- **Last reviewed:** 2026-09-08

The **Companies** directory shows two separate associations with a company. **Your Research** summarizes your company-linked work. The **Project** column shows Projects whose company set includes that company. Neither column is source evidence or a copy of the underlying work.

## Find company-linked work

1. In the web app, open **Companies** under **Reference**.
2. Search for the company by name or ticker.
3. In **Your Research**, select the summary of non-zero counts.
4. Select the type of work you want to reopen.

Portrait opens the page for that type of work and applies a company filter where available, as shown below.

| Count | What the association means | What opens |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Monitors** | The Monitor tracks the company. | [Monitors](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/monitors/monitors/) filtered to the company. |
| **Deep Research** | The report includes the company in its scope. | [Deep Research](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/research/research/) with the company filter applied to the composer and saved reports. |
| **Easel** or **Chats** | A conversation is associated with the company. The label depends on the conversation surfaces available to your account. | [Easel](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/easel/what-is-easel/) history filtered to the company where supported. A legacy **Chats** entry can instead open the unfiltered Chat list. |
| **Charts** | At least one chart series is bound to the company. | The company page. The Companies directory does not currently provide a company-filtered chart library; open [Charts](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/charts/charts-overview/) and confirm the series there. |

The counts are an index into your work, not a completeness statement. They do not indicate whether Portrait has a Company Primer, Case Study, relationship record, or source document for the company.

## Verify the destination

Confirm that the destination shows the selected company filter when the table above says one is supported. Open one result and verify its company association. For a Chart, open its series configuration and confirm that the expected company is bound there.

## Open a Project associated with the company

1. Find the company in **Companies**.
2. In **Project**, select a Project name.
3. Use the Project's **Research** and **Companies** sections to inspect its scoped work and company set.

The company can belong to a Project even when **Your Research** says **No research yet**. Conversely, company-linked research can exist without a Project. Project membership does not imply that every research item associated with the company belongs to that Project. See [Create a Project](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/documents/projects/) for how Project contents and Research instructions apply.

## Interpret empty or missing states

- **No research yet** means Portrait found no counted company-linked work for the signed-in user. It does not describe Portrait-generated company research or source coverage.
- An empty **Project** cell means the company is not in one of your Projects; it does not mean the company is unsupported.
- A missing count can mean zero matching items or that the corresponding surface is unavailable to the account.

## Recover missing work

Open the page for that type of work and check the selected company and Project, then confirm the signed-in account and organization. For Easel or legacy Chat, use the history available to your account. If **Your Research** shows a count but the filtered destination contains no matching item, refresh the Companies directory and destination once. If the mismatch remains, [contact Portrait support](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/more/contact-us/) with the company, count type, account or organization, and destination URL.
