primary sources only

Every claim cites a filing. Every number comes from an audited document. No vendor data, no estimates, no secondary sources without disclosure.

no vendor data

All analysis comes from raw public documents: SEC filings, annual reports, regulatory disclosures. If we can't cite a primary source, we don't publish the claim.

not investment advice

We publish analysis, not recommendations. We tell you what the filings say and what we find interesting. What you do with it is your decision.

questions
What exactly is in the full research notes?

The free preview covers the setup and the core charts. The full note includes the per-company cost structure analysis, the comparison between earnings call language and filing disclosures, and our read on what the next filing cycle will likely show. All backed by primary source citations.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account. No contracts, no annual commitment unless you choose the annual plan. Your access continues through the end of the billing period.

Is this investment advice?

No. This is analysis of public records. We tell you what the filings say and what we find notable about them. Nothing published here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.

How often do you publish?

Research notes publish as the work is done, not on a schedule. Investigations are deeper and take longer. You'll get an email each time something goes live. On a good month, that's two or three notes. Occasionally more.

What sectors do you cover?

Currently: automotive (EV transition, margin structures), technology and semiconductors (AI compute economics), capital markets (SPAC structures, insider trading patterns), and regulatory influence (revolving door, lobbying). Coverage will expand as the pipeline grows.
