Real-time polling of every SEC 8-K filing — 30 seconds from publication to compound signal delivery. The fastest institutional 8-K alert infrastructure available without a Bloomberg Terminal.
Request Live Demo →A Form 8-K is filed by publicly traded companies to notify shareholders of material events — M&A, leadership changes, bankruptcy, cybersecurity breaches, earnings deviations. Every 8-K is a signal. Our system processes hundreds per day.
EDGAR EFTS (full-text search index) polled every 30 seconds, alternating with RSS feed. From SEC publication to alert in your inbox: under 60 seconds. Bloomberg Terminal averages 3–15 minutes.
Even polling cycles use EFTS (lower latency, last 10-minute window). Odd cycles use the EDGAR RSS Atom feed (broader coverage, authoritative). Deduplication via SHA1 hash prevents double-alerts.
EFTS returns ciks, display_names, and adsh fields. We extract company CIK, name, and build the direct Archive document URL — no browse-edgar roundtrips.
Pre-filter before AI classification: 78 keywords covering Ukrainian cities, companies (Kernel, MHP, Nova Poshta, Farmak, Grammarly), TAS Group entities, and TA Ventures portfolio companies.
Each 8-K classified into 9 categories with confidence score, 2-sentence summary, verbatim key quote, and Ukraine relevance explanation. Prompt caching reduces cost by ~70%.
