What it does
One call returns everything needed to write an analyst-style report from SEC filings: the relevant data sections, SEC filing citations for each section, writing rules and a report outline. You (the model) then write the report from the pack only. Report types: - "earnings_recap" (~12k tokens): latest quarterly XBRL results, 8-K earnings release (Ex-99.1), TTM ratios, segments, guidance language, changed MD&A/Risk Factors passages, insider trades. - "tenk_red_flags" (~18k tokens): earnings-quality indicators, growth anomalies, five-year ratios, off-balance-sheet items, risk-factor changes, revised XBRL facts, auditor-change/restatement 8-Ks, balance-sheet tie-out. - "initiation" (~25k tokens): business description, five-year financials and ratios, segments, valuation, peers, capital allocation, guidance track record, risk changes, ownership, insiders. Packs stay under a hard token budget; lower-priority sections are trimmed first and listed in trimmedSections, and failed sections are listed in unavailableSections. If the user's request doesn't clearly map to one report type (e.g. "write me a report on X"), ask which of the three they want, with a one-line description of each, rather than guessing. For "initiation", if the user named no peers, ask for 2–5 comparable companies (suggest a few) before calling; peers are optional if they decline. Text sections cover US 10-K/10-Q filers. Not investment advice.
Report sections with data and SEC citations, writing rules, a report outline, the token budget used, and lists of trimmed or unavailable sections.
Who it helps
Analysts who want a first-draft earnings recap, forensic 10-K review, or initiation note grounded in SEC filings rather than model memory.

Important limits
EdgarStack supplies evidence; the writing depends on your AI model. Filing-text sections cover US 10-K and 10-Q filers. Valuation needs a configured price source. Indicators are prompts to review the filings, not findings.
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.
