How we decide what to publish
Where the figures come from, what a story has to clear before it is published, and what happens when something is wrong.
Two kinds of page, and they are not made the same way
Company reports, fact sheets and insights are generated. Figures are computed from SEC filings and the sentences around them are written by fixed rules from those figures, so the same filings always produce the same page. Two parts are written with a language model from the company's latest earnings release and dated: the editorial note near the top of each report, a single sentence on the question the release leaves open, and the company's story, a longer read on what drives the business and what could change it. Every figure in the story is checked against the filings and TenQ's own figures before it is published.
When a story is written
A company's story is rewritten when the company publishes a new earnings release. Between releases it stays as it is, dated, with a link to the release it was written from.
What a story has to clear
- Every figure comes from the filings. The model sees only the company's own filings and the figures computed from them. An automatic check refuses any sentence with a number that is not in that material, and a story that fails is not published.
- No forecasts, no ratings, no price targets. What the price assumes is read from the reverse DCF on the report, not from an estimate. Words like buy, sell and undervalued are refused.
- It describes and never advises. A story explains what drives the business and what could change it. What to do about it is the reader's call.
Who publishes it
TenQ publishes under its own name rather than a personal byline. That is a choice, not an omission. What matters on a page about money is that the method is stated, the independence is stated and there is a route to a person - all three are here and on About.
TenQ is independent. It is not owned by, paid by or affiliated with any company it covers, or with any broker, fund, issuer or data vendor. Companies cannot pay to be included, excluded or covered differently.
When something is wrong
Write to hello@tenq.co and say which page and which figure. A figure that is wrong is corrected at its source, so the fix reaches every page that uses it rather than the one that was reported.
A story shows the date it was last updated and links the release it rests on, so a reader can always see which filing a sentence comes from.
What we do not do
- Rewrite press releases or wire copy.
- Publish analyst estimates, consensus figures or price targets.
- Accept payment from a company in exchange for coverage.
- Estimate a figure a company has not reported. Missing data is shown as missing.
