How we deliver our data
Step 1
Official company document is released
When new disclosure hits the market, our team sources the document directly from the issuer and submits it to our proprietary data extraction technology. This includes a mix of preliminary reports, earnings reports, presentations and prospectuses.
Step 2
Raw data is automatically extracted
Using advanced character recognition and machine-learning technology, relevant data is identified and extracted from the document and classified into line items ahead of structuring. All data is extracted exactly as-reported.
Step 3
Classified data is structured and validated
Our technology then algorithmically validates all extracted data points against known accounting principles and financial relationships within any historically reported data. This allows the data to be programmatically checked and enriched with any previously reported credit metrics.
Step 4
Our experts confirm model integrity
Once the data has been validated and structured into a model, our experts check all extracted data, derived values and associated formulae for any errors or inconsistencies. Restatements are also highlighted for full transparency.
Step 5
Model is published to Cognitive Credit
Once all checks are complete, the fully structured and ready-to-use model is published to our web app and made available for consumption via our API. On average, existing models are updated within 15 minutes of earnings release and new issues within six hours of deal announcement.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you source your data from?
All data on Cognitive Credit is sourced from official filings only. This includes a mix of Preliminaries, Prospectuses, Financial Reports and Presentations. Every document used to build our datasets is stored in our searchable document library.
How do you extract your data?
We use a combination of advanced optical character recognition and machine-reading technology to automatically identify and extract data from official documents. Proprietary technology then classifies and structures this data into a dynamic credit model, with every datapoint linked to the exact page in a document from which it was extracted.
How do you identify restatements?
All restatements and inconsistencies in a dataset can be easily highlighted in-app for full transparency. Every restated or inconsistent value can also be audited to show previously reported figures and the calculations behind them.
Do you process restricted data?
Yes - our technology can process restricted data. Using a simple document uploader, you can submit your restricted documents and our technology will automatically generate a dynamic credit model that reflects your documents and is only accessible by you.
How quickly do you turnaround models?
New coverage models are delivered within 24 hours of receiving documentation. Debut issuance models are delivered within 6 hours of announcement. New numbers on existing issuers are updated within 15 minutes (avg.)
