Forward Guidance Extraction API
Build an API that detects and structures management guidance from 8-K exhibits, especially earnings press releases, into normalized JSON for traders and research systems. The product wins by combining reliable exhibit parsing, precision filters, and bulk coverage rather than acting like a generic filing downloader.
이것이 중요한 이유
You trade around earnings or maintain a research pipeline, and every quarter you face the same problem: the filing arrives fast, but the useful guidance is buried in an attachment with inconsistent formatting. Generic text APIs give you the whole document and leave interpretation to you. Simple keyword rules pick up historical earnings lines and miss the actual outlook. If you want to run this across hundreds of names, manual review does not scale. What you really need is a service that tells you what guidance was issued, in what format, and how confident the extraction is, while still letting you inspect the source when the model is wrong.

MVP 범위 · 1~2주
- Build a crawler to fetch recent 8-K filings and linked Exhibit 99.1 documents for a fixed S&P 500 subset
- Create a parser that converts HTML, text, and common exhibit variants into normalized plain text
- Define a JSON schema for guidance outputs including company, metric, period, value range, and confidence
- Implement rule-based sentence and section detection focused on outlook-related headings
- Store raw exhibits and parsed outputs by accession number for audit and debugging
- Add precision filters to separate historical performance statements from future guidance
- Expose a REST endpoint for single ticker, multi-ticker, and historical date-range queries
- Create a simple dashboard showing extracted guidance alongside source evidence spans
- Run evaluation on 100 recent filings and manually label false positives and misses
- Set up billing, API keys, and usage metering for a closed beta

실패 가능 요인
자가 반박 — 가장 중요한 신뢰 신호
- 1Extraction quality may not beat internal scripts enough to justify ongoing subscription spend for sophisticated users.
- 2The niche may be too narrow if only a small subset of traders values forward-guidance parsing enough to pay premium prices.
- 3Larger financial data vendors could add a similar feature once the demand pattern becomes obvious.
근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
Several remarks point to the same unmet need: people do not just want filing retrieval, they want the actual guidance extracted accurately and at scale. Roughly four comments highlighted issues with false positives, missing guidance, or the need for better precision. Multiple participants also stressed bulk processing and structured outputs for downstream automation, and one directly suggested it could be sold as a subscription.
