How the Signal Is Calculated
The EarningsCallAI operator signal blends a quantitative read of revenue trajectory across the most recent four to eight quarters with a qualitative read of management commentary in the earnings call. Both inputs come from primary public sources: SEC EDGAR XBRL filings for structured financials, and SEC Form 8-K earnings releases for management commentary. Where the two inputs agree, signal confidence is HIGH; where they conflict, confidence drops. Read the full methodology for the formal classification rules.
