What it does
Watches for newly filed 8-K current reports from the companies you track, identifies which item was triggered (executive departure, M&A, guidance revision, debt event, auditor change), and sends a concise plain-English alert. Routine or boilerplate 8-Ks are suppressed so you only hear about the ones that move a thesis.
When to use it
Use it when you need to react to disclosed material events the same day rather than discovering them in a quarterly review. Ideal for a small research team covering dozens of names where reading every filing isn't realistic.
How it works
- 1A schedule polls every 30 minutes during market hours.
- 2Exa searches the latest filings index for new 8-Ks on your tracked tickers.
- 3Perplexity reads each filing and classifies the triggering item and likely impact.
- 4A logic branch checks the classification against a materiality allowlist; low-signal items stop here.
- 5Material events get a formatted alert posted to a Microsoft Teams channel.
- 6The same event is logged to a Coda filings register for an auditable trail.
