Launch HN: Bedrock AI (YC S21) – Using ML to identify red flags in SEC filings

Interesting site. I currently work at a hedge fund, but have a small dose of NLP in my academic background, so it's always interesting to see concepts like this come out.

Two questions: - Are you using EDGAR's 'Facts' function? It seems to make SEC Filings a lot more like structured text than they have been previously, but I haven't seen really convincing tools developed to use it yet

- How/do you ever see yourself interfacing with similar 'red flag' screening tools that just work on the numerical side i.e. accounting ratios ?

Also, you've got a grammatical error on your Values and Vision page. Normally I wouldn't comment to point that kind of thing out, but for an NLP startup it seems more appropriate ('its volume' not 'it's volume')!

Thanks for website edit! Fixed.

We don't rely on XBRL for parsing. It's not very consistent/reliable and its mostly for numeric content. We've definitely considered integrating ratios both into our dashboard. It isn't a current priority because ratios are already well supported elsewhere.

Asking to learn - ex-Algo here. May I ask where else ratios are represented. Thanks and all the best for your launch. Very useful service.

From experience, I would suggest you have way for the manager of a fund or a desk or a bank, to see the usefulness. You will have good pull from the line staff, but selling to the managers is the hard part.

Thanks for your wishes! For ratios, We love Alpha Vantage. They are great value for money.
