What problem does it solve?
It prevents quant analysis errors that misclassify an issuer’s active At-The-Market (ATM) dilution as either dormant shelf capacity, a registered direct, or an equity line (ELOC).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-signal ATM inference: Requires an effective shelf plus placement-agent sales agreement language and confirmation of active use from subsequent filings, reducing false positives from “just an S-3.”
- ATM vs ELOC vs registered direct disambiguation: Uses mechanism-specific agreement language (e.g., sales agreement/at-the-market vs common stock purchase agreement/equity line) to distinguish toxicity and behavior.
- Activity validation with latest filings: Treats ATM status as time-dependent by tying “active” to the most recent 10-Q disclosures, stamped with lookahead safety rules.
Quick Start
Use the atm-detection skill to determine whether company X has an active ATM by reviewing effective shelf forms, the relevant 424B sales-agreement language, and the latest 10-Q equity-related disclosures.
