What it does
Screen annual or reported-quarterly SEC XBRL growth for unusual latest changes against the company's own history. A review signal requires at least four earlier comparable growth observations and a latest value beyond the historical 1.5× IQR fence by at least 10 percentage points. Results are prompts to review source filings, not findings or financial advice.
Metric histories and any observations meeting the stated review threshold, with period and filing context.
Who it helps
Research teams triaging financial changes for follow-up in original filings.

Data sources and verification
EdgarStack uses SEC EDGAR filings and, for applicable tools, SEC XBRL company-facts data. Coverage depends on the issuer, filing, taxonomy tags, and tool inputs. Follow the source filing references and verify material facts against the official filing.
