What this is

When a public company has something material happen — a cybersecurity incident, a completed acquisition, a new officer, a charter amendment, a major agreement — it must tell the Securities and Exchange Commission, in public, that day. We read every one of those filings, sort them by what the company itself declared, and publish the result as a plain table with a link back to the original document.

These are moments when branded and event budgets open, and the filing is the earliest public form of the signal — earlier than the trade press, which covers only the largest names.

The rule everything rests on

Every value either comes from a document we link, or is a number we computed. Nothing is written.

There is no author, no opinion, no summary. Where a row carries a quotation it is the company's own sentence, verbatim, from the press release exhibit attached to its filing, with that filing linked beside it.

This is not modesty — it is why the boards are usable as a source. A reporter can check any row in one click and the check will always pass, because the only claim being made is this company filed this document on this date. Where a filing is ambiguous we undercount rather than guess.

One row, in full

NIKE, Inc.NKE · NYSE
Departure or Election of Directors; Appointment of Officers · also 7.01, 9.01 · Rubber & Plastics Footwear · Beaverton, OR · event 2026-09-15
Large accelerated filer · FY2026 revenue $46.4B
“…today announced Alexandre Arnault has been appointed to the Company's Board of Directors.”

The item title is the SEC's own wording. The industry is the SEC's own description. The revenue is what NIKE reported itself, in XBRL, in its own annual filing. The sentence is NIKE's. The accession number behind the row is EDGAR's permanent key for that filing, so the same record is identical across the table, the JSON, the CSV, the RSS feed, the dataset and the MCP response.

The eight boards

Item 1.05 filings are genuinely rare — on the order of one a fortnight. A near-empty Breach Clock is correct, not broken.

How it is built

The SEC publishes a machine-readable index of every filing, every business day, free. Twice an hour during market hours a worker reads that index and fetches each filing's 852-byte header sidecar, which carries the filing's own item tags, industry code, state of incorporation and the date the event actually happened — often different from the date it was filed.

Because the header is small, every filing is read every day rather than a sample. A second pass opens the full document only for filings that land on a board, and lifts one verbatim sentence from the press release exhibit. A third caches company facts per filer: ticker, exchange, industry, filer size, reported revenue.

Limitations, stated plainly

What makes it different

Established vendors sell filings-derived signals, and their prices are published: one job-change tracker starts at $2,000 a month, another at $3,000. The raw filing-extraction layer retails at $49 a month.

Two things are true and checkable. The free version is faster than the paid one — the main signal vendor states one to two business days of latency on leadership data, while the boards read EDGAR the same day. And everyone paid stops at a row: they hand you a fact. POPS4 is the only one that can also produce what the moment requires — 70,000+ products from 200+ authorized houses, under one roof.

Being open is the part none of them can copy. Giving it away is giving up their revenue.
