Slated

Use Case 1: Detecting Strategic Narrative Shifts and Contradictions

Problem: Investment analysts often struggle to track subtle changes in management’s tone or strategy across dozens of meetings, transcripts, and filings over several years. Manually comparing what a CEO said in a private meeting six months ago versus a public filing today is time-consuming and prone to human oversight.
Solution: Slated’s intelligence engine specifically tracks narrative shifts and detects contradictions in unstructured text. It surfaces instances where management’s current commentary deviates from previous stances, providing an unbiased view of company transparency.
Example: An analyst uses Slated to monitor a retail company. The tool flags a contradiction where the CFO spoke confidently about inventory levels in a transcript but used "hedging" language in a recent minor regulatory filing. This alert allows the analyst to question the management team about potential supply chain bloat before it hits the stock price.

Use Case 2: Scaling Research Coverage Beyond Earnings Calls

Problem: Most financial platforms focus heavily on quarterly earnings calls, but critical "signals" are often buried in smaller investor conferences, management meetings, and obscure filings. Small research teams lack the bandwidth to process these "extra" events, leading to missed opportunities or risks.
Solution: Slated provides up to 4x more coverage than standard platforms by analyzing a broader range of public company events. It filters out non-material "noise" and delivers only the defining, investment-ready insights.
Example: A small hedge fund covering mid-cap tech stocks uses Slated to monitor obscure industry-specific conferences. While competitors only read the quarterly reports, Slated extracts a "forward-looking intelligence" signal from a management Q&A at a regional tech summit, identifying a new product pivot two weeks before the official press release.

Use Case 3: Identifying Business Inflection Points in Real-Time

Problem: Institutional investors need to know exactly when a business is "inflecting" (turning from growth to decline, or vice versa). Waiting for synthesized analyst reports or news cycles often means the "alpha" or profit opportunity has already vanished.
Solution: Slated delivers near real-time, backtested insights within minutes of an event. By decoding unstructured spoken and written text immediately, it allows portfolio managers to act on "magical" conclusions that mirror high-level human analysis but at a much faster pace.
Example: Minutes after a CEO finishes a surprise "fireside chat," a Portfolio Manager receives a Slated alert highlighting a specific shift in how the CEO discussed "capital allocation." This signal indicates a likely upcoming dividend cut, allowing the PM to adjust their position before the market closes.

Use Case 4: Secure High-Volume Due Diligence for Strategy Teams

Problem: Heads of strategy and M&A teams often handle highly sensitive data and cannot risk using generic AI tools that might use their proprietary queries or inputs to train public models. Furthermore, they need the "human-level accuracy" of an additional analyst without the overhead cost.
Solution: Slated acts as a "virtual analyst" with human-level accuracy while maintaining a strict privacy policy where no user inputs are collected or used for training. This allows teams to perform deep-dive research into company filings without compromising their intellectual property.
Example: A private equity strategy team is evaluating a public-to-private acquisition. They feed years of unstructured management commentary into Slated to find "backtested insights" on historical performance versus management promises. They do this confidently, knowing their specific research interest in that company remains private and secure from competitors.
