Overview

Provides early intelligence on executive leadership changes by monitoring SEC 8-K filings (Item 5.02) for tracked companies. These filings are legally mandated within four business days of a leadership change, creating a structured, reliable feed of C-suite movements ahead of press coverage.

What This Replaces
Relying on press coverage that often lags SEC filings by days or weeks
Manual SEC EDGAR searches to check for leadership changes across tracked companies
Missing the narrow window between a filing and public announcement for early outreach
No automatic enrichment of incoming executives with contact data and background
Key Capabilities
Daily monitoring of SEC 8-K filings filtered to Item 5.02 (executive leadership changes)
AI legal parsing extracts structured data from regulatory language: names, roles, dates, and context
Automatic enrichment of new appointees with contact information and professional background
First-mover advantage: intelligence arrives before press coverage in most cases
Direct routing to BD Radar with flags for immediate outreach opportunities
Intelligence Depth

SEC Item 5.02 filings are the most reliable early signal for C-suite leadership changes. They are legally mandated within four business days and contain structured information that press releases often omit: effective dates, compensation arrangements, and the specific role being vacated or filled. The AI parser handles the variability in legal language across different law firms and filing styles, extracting consistent structured data regardless of how the filing is written.
