A Vertical AI Co-Pilot for Investment Analysts
Solving the Alpha Bottleneck in Fundamental Investing
Investment teams don't lack ideas. They lack time per idea.
The problem is workflow, not intelligence.
First-pass diligence consumes analyst time that should be spent on judgment, not paperwork.
Same work. Every company. Every quarter.
Analysts re-extract the same sections across thousands of filings.
SEC filings don't change — the workload does.
10-Ks and 10-Qs follow predictable structures, but are reviewed manually every time.
This isn't insight — it's process.
Extraction, normalization, and comparison follow clear, repeatable rules.
Senior talent doing junior work.
Highly paid analysts spend days on tasks that don't create alpha.
Compress days of first-pass work into hours — so human judgment is spent where it matters.
PRISM is a vertical AI co-pilot that automates the first pass of investment due diligence — without automating decisions.
It is designed for the work analysts have to do before judgment can even begin.
PRISM runs a deterministic first-pass diligence workflow across filings and related documents:
This is the work that currently consumes days of analyst time before a real debate can start.
PRISM is explicitly out of scope for anything that resembles investment advice. It does not:
PRISM prepares the ground. Humans decide what matters.
PRISM is built around human-in-the-loop by design:
PRISM increases analyst throughput without removing accountability.
Co-Pilot, Not Auto-Pilot. Human-in-the-Loop is mandatory.
PRISM automatically processes new filings, extracts data, and generates analysis
Every output is presented for human review with full source attribution
Analyst can modify, correct, or override any automated output
Final output is approved by the analyst before use
Deterministic outputs where correctness matters. AI handles reasoning, verified code handles calculations.
Complete audit trail of document ingestion, extraction, transformations, and human overrides.
Think of PRISM as junior analysts, each trained to do one narrow task extremely well.
PRISM supports cited chat over your filings using the way PMs actually speak — QoQ, linked quarter, TTM, normalized, run-rate.
Time axes and adjustments are resolved deterministically before analysis. If a question is ambiguous, PRISM blocks the answer and asks for clarification.
A clean interface designed for analyst workflows.
Company coverage dashboard with attention flags
PM memo with summary, takeaway, and key themes
Risk factor changes between filings
SEC filings with direct links to source
Extracted risk factors from 10-K filings
Click-through to highlighted source text
Designed to pass CTO + Compliance scrutiny. Choose the deployment model that fits your needs.
Whether client-hosted or managed, your data is completely isolated. No multi-tenant data mixing.
We have no access to your documents, prompts, or model outputs. Zero data visibility.
Every step logged and auditable. Document ingestion, extraction, transformations, human overrides.
We support the machine, not the investments. Access limited to logs, metrics, and system health.
Common questions from analysts, CTOs, and compliance teams.
Automates first-pass diligence by extracting, normalizing, and summarizing SEC filings. Given a ticker, it produces a PM-ready memo with evidence and supports cited Q&A over the filings.
Full content ingestion: 10-K, 10-K/A, 10-Q, 10-Q/A, 8-K, 8-K/A, DEF 14A, DEFA14A
Metadata only: 13F-HR, SC 13G/13D, Form 3/4, S-1, S-3, 424B
No. PRISM produces structured analysis, not opinions. It extracts data, identifies changes, and surfaces evidence. The analyst remains the decision-maker.
Yes. Beyond SEC filings, PRISM can ingest internal decks, transcripts, and other PDFs. All documents remain in your environment and are never transmitted externally.
No. We use foundation models via API with zero-retention agreements. Your documents, prompts, and outputs are never used for training. Anthropic's commercial API explicitly prohibits training on customer data.
Every claim in a PRISM memo links to source text. Analysts can click through to the original filing section. LLMs handle reasoning; deterministic code handles calculations. Human approval is required before any output is used.
Yes. PRISM supports cited Q&A over your filings and internal documents. Ask questions in PM language — QoQ, TTM, normalized — and get answers with citations linked to source text. If your question is ambiguous (e.g., mixing QoQ and YoY), PRISM will ask for clarification before answering.
Complete logging of document ingestion, extraction, transformations, and human overrides. Every step is timestamped and attributable. Designed for regulatory examination readiness.
No. In client-hosted deployments, we have zero data access. In managed SaaS, we can support the system without accessing investment content. We support the machine, not the investments.
Option 1: Client-Owned AWS — You host everything in your AWS account. Maximum control, data never leaves your environment.
Option 2: Managed Single-Tenant SaaS — We host a dedicated instance for your firm. Single-tenancy ensures complete isolation.
Managed SaaS can be provisioned quickly. Client-hosted deployments require infrastructure setup and security review. We provide documentation and support throughout.
Standard AWS services: EC2, RDS (PostgreSQL), S3. No exotic dependencies. Containerized deployment via Docker. Can run in existing VPC with your security controls.
General-purpose LLMs lack domain grounding and auditability. PRISM is a vertical system purpose-built for investment research: structured filing ingestion, deterministic extraction, source attribution, and full audit trails. It's a workflow tool, not a chatbot.
Bloomberg and AlphaSense are search and data platforms. PRISM is a workflow automation layer that produces structured output (memos, extracted data) rather than search results. Complementary to existing tools, not a replacement.
Compress days of first-pass diligence into hours. Analysts spend less time on extraction and more on judgment. Faster kill-rate on weak ideas means more ideas evaluated. The bottleneck is time per idea — PRISM expands capacity without adding headcount.
