In Lightroom, profiles can be applied without changing slider positions, so they can be used at any stage of editing. Does Capture One offer something similar to Lightroom’s camera profiles, and if so, where is it found?

If you are referring to the Camera Profiles in LR (based on DCP profiles), then it's the Base Characteristics' ICC Profile that you're looking for. Essentially, this is "early" in the adjustment/rendering stack, and allows you to adjust the fundamental color interpretation from the file.

The Color Editor tool is also an ICC profile editor in disguise. You can leverage that tool to tweak the chosen ICC profile and save it out to a custom profile, allowing you to adjust this fundamental response as you see fit, to create custom camera profiles.

Yes. In Capture One, the closest equivalent to Lightroom’s camera profiles is the ICC Profile setting in the Base Characteristics tool. It affects the file’s underlying color interpretation early in the rendering pipeline, similar to how Lightroom profiles change the image without simply moving normal adjustment sliders.

If you want to go further, Capture One’s Color Editor can effectively be used to modify that color response and create a custom profile, which can then be saved for reuse. So while the naming and workflow differ from Lightroom, Capture One does provide a comparable profile-based approach to setting the image’s foundational color rendering.
