Innovation framework

One analyst problem, one accountable workflow, one next experiment.

The project is framed as a workflow innovation for institutional research—not as a validated trading strategy.

Who and why

A focused innovation thesis

Short definitions make ownership and approval explicit.

Target user

Institutional research analyst

Reviews new information, compares history, judges relevance, and briefs the team.

Buyer

Director or Head of Research

Owns research productivity, quality, team process, and institutional memory.

Technical gatekeeper

CTO or Head of Data

Evaluates integration, security, governance, auditability, and operational risk.

Beachhead use case

Changed SEC disclosures

Evidence-backed review of new and changed 8-K and 10-K disclosures.

Customer research

What six interviews changed

Findings are paraphrased; customer adoption and willingness to pay remain unvalidated.

Perceived needs
  • Faster review
  • Fewer repeated searches
  • Easier historical comparison
Latent needs
  • Confidence and professional credibility
  • Continuity and institutional memory
  • Governance and visible accountability
Design drivers
  • Prioritization before summary
  • Evidence before assertion
  • Low-friction workflow fit
  • Analyst remains accountable

Full use case and workflow map

From incoming filing to reusable research context

The system supports the decision; it does not make the investment judgment.

Layered architecture

Trust is designed into every layer

Plain-language front end; technical detail remains auditable underneath.

MVP → pilot → success measures

The next claim must be earned in workflow use.

No pilot result is implied.

MVP

Consecutive 10-K comparison

995 frozen changes with evidence, novelty checks, and eight cases.

Pilot

3–6 analysts · 2–4 weeks

Normal workflow versus product-assisted review on a bounded task set.

Success measures

Speed without weaker judgment

Time, recall, agreement, corrections, trust, repeat use, and stored-context value.

“Pure News Intelligence helps investment teams decide what to read first, understand what changed, and support their conclusions with visible evidence.”

Experimental extension

A research-question layer, governed by safe refusal

Target user: the institutional research analyst.

Perceived need

What should I investigate next?

Turn a verified disclosure change into a bounded research agenda.

Latent need

Protection from plausible stories

Find missing context and reject unsupported narratives before they reach the analyst.

Value-proposition extension

Questions, not answers

Pure News Intelligence not only identifies what changed; for selected cases, it helps analysts form testable next questions while rejecting unsupported investment stories.
