Use these prompts to pressure-test a thesis against filings, XBRL facts, reported ownership, and dated market context. They expose assumptions and source gaps; they do not establish fraud, manipulation, mispricing, or an investment conclusion.

Before you run a prompt

Connect a supported client through MCP installation, then give it an API key from the environment or secret store that actually runs the client. Do not paste a key into the prompt. Start with one issuer and one prompt. A useful first result names the form, filing date, accession number, section or fact reference, source URL, and request ID when returned. These prompts help test a thesis; they do not prove fraud, mispricing, or intent. Keep source records beside each inference, call out missing evidence, and stop when credentials, schema, billing, quota, or tool capability fail.

Working rules

  • filings.search and sections.search do not apply an MCP date window. Filter candidate records using their returned filingDate before drawing a time-bounded result.
  • State every researcher-created calculation, its inputs, its period alignment, and what the source does not disclose.
  • Treat a search result, factor output, or ownership report as a lead or context until the underlying source supports the claim.

Evidence standard

For every thesis-critical finding, preserve the source filing, fiscal period, accession number, section or fact tag, and calculation inputs. A missing record, an anomalous output, or a reported holder change is a research question, not proof or a trading instruction.
