More time for your judgment

The groundwork is done.
The judgment is yours.

Finding filings, working through transcripts, assembling the numbers and designing a research framework all take time. Sophia brings that work together in a structured report, so you can dive into the investment case and follow the evidence where it matters. Apply the same process across the covered universe, including companies with limited traditional analyst coverage.

  1. 01

    The materials, brought together.

    Sophia gathers and analyses available filings, transcripts and other relevant company materials alongside professional financial data.

  2. 02

    The framework, built in.

    Fundamental, accounting and quantitative analysis are already part of the process. Start without devising your own research framework or prompts.

  3. 03

    The research, ready to assess.

    Open the investment case, explore its key debates and trace material conclusions to their sources. Use your time to challenge the reasoning and decide what deserves a closer look.

Before you take

How does Sophia differ from prompting a general-purpose LLM?

Material conclusions are linked to evidence you can inspect.

How long does a report take?

A complete equity research report is typically ready in under ten minutes. You can then explore the investment debates, financial analysis and supporting sources at your own pace.

Can I revisit a company after results?

Yes. Generate a new report using the latest available filings, estimates, price data and news to reassess the investment case.

Can our firm use Sophia under its own brand?

Yes. Sophia’s white-label offering can be customised around your clients and workflow. Discuss your firm’s requirements ↗
