SEC Filing Intelligence
Frequently Asked Questions
ETSquare is a SEC filing intelligence platform that helps users search, compare, and analyze EDGAR filings with grounded evidence — currently covering 4.0M+ validated filing sections.
What kind of questions is ETSquare built for?
ETSquare is built for questions that require reading across many SEC filings, companies, or periods. It is especially useful for disclosure research, peer comparisons, trend analysis, risk-factor review, management commentary, and structured metric extraction.
Why use ETSquare instead of a general LLM?
General LLMs are good at language generation, but they are not specialized filing-research systems. ETSquare is designed to return filing-backed results tied to the underlying SEC source material, so users can inspect the evidence instead of relying on unsupported summaries.
Does ETSquare search one filing or many?
ETSquare is built to search across large filing sets. It is useful when the answer is not obvious in a single 10-K or 10-Q and instead must be found across many filings, issuers, or reporting periods.
Does ETSquare provide citations?
Yes. ETSquare is built around evidence-backed results from the underlying filings, so users can review the source passages and related filing metadata.
Can ETSquare return structured metrics?
Yes. When the question is numerical, ETSquare can return structured metrics alongside narrative filing evidence.
Who is ETSquare for?
ETSquare is built for investors, analysts, research teams, founders, operators, and AI agents that need reliable access to SEC filing intelligence.
Is ETSquare only for humans, or can software use it too?
Both. ETSquare is available through a web interface for interactive research and through API and MCP interfaces for programmatic and agent-based workflows.
Does ETSquare replace human judgment?
No. ETSquare speeds up filing research and makes evidence easier to find and verify. Users still apply their own judgment to the results.
Is there an API and what are the limits?
Yes. The docs and API keys pages describe the public preview API. Rate limits differ by key type, and the product surfaces those limits in one place instead of making separate marketing claims.
Is the product in beta or public preview?
Yes. The current public site and API describe the product as a public preview. Coverage, API limits, and feature availability may change as ingestion and guardrails continue to tighten.
What ETSquare is not
ETSquare is not a general-purpose finance chatbot, a news aggregator, or a broad market-data terminal. It is focused on SEC filing intelligence: finding, grounding, and organizing information from public-company disclosures in EDGAR. The goal is not to generate generic commentary. The goal is to help users locate and verify the right disclosure evidence quickly.

ETSquare is designed for high-precision disclosure research where auditability and source grounding matter more than generic text generation.
