Question 1

What does Helmledgers do?

Accepted Answer

Helmledgers reads company filings and shows you what changed since the last one, what's buried in the notes, and what's worth asking management. Every finding links to the exact sentence in the filing it came from.

Question 2

How do I know the findings are accurate?

Accepted Answer

Every quote in a finding is checked word for word against the original filing before you see it, and every finding links to its source so you can read it yourself. If it isn't in the filing, it isn't in the report.

Question 3

Which companies and filings do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Companies that file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including annual reports (10-K), quarterly reports (10-Q), current reports (8-K) and proxy statements. Coverage is expanding during beta.

Question 4

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Public filings from the SEC's EDGAR database.

Question 5

How quickly after a filing is the analysis ready?

Accepted Answer

During beta, timing can vary. We're working towards having new filings analysed the same day they're published.

Question 6

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Hedge funds, analysts, family offices and anyone who needs to know what's in a filing without reading all 100 pages.

Question 7

How is this different from a stock screener or AI search tool?

Accepted Answer

Screeners work on the numbers. Search tools answer the questions you already know to ask. Helmledgers is built to surface what you didn't know to look for: new risk factors, reworded disclosures, changes in the footnotes and reclassified figures.

Question 8

Is this investment advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Helmledgers reports what companies have disclosed. It doesn't make recommendations or predictions.

Question 9

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Helmledgers is currently in beta. We're working with a small group of test partners who get early access, direct input into what we build, and founding partner terms when we launch. Contact us if you'd like to be one of them.

Question 10

Can I follow specific companies and get alerts?

Accepted Answer

Company tracking and alerts are available on a limited basis during beta. Contact us to find out more.

Question 11

What do you do with my data?

Accepted Answer

We collect basic platform usage data, such as how many reports are run and which features are used, to improve Helmledgers. We don't sell your data and we don't share what you research. See our Privacy Policy for details.
