Different public records arrive at different speeds and answer different questions. This page explains what each source can show before it becomes research context.
SEC Form 4 records certain insider ownership changes and is generally due by the end of the second business day after the transaction. Review the SEC Form 4 instructions and the filing itself. A single reported trade does not reveal the insider's full portfolio, intent, or future view.
Form 13F reports are filed after quarter end, typically within 45 days. The SEC 13F guidance explains the deadline and scope. These reports are useful for understanding disclosed holdings, not for assuming a manager still owns the position today.
House financial disclosures can include reportable securities transactions. The describes the applicable reporting window, including the 45-day transaction deadline. A disclosure shows what was reported, not an investor's complete portfolio, reasoning, or current position.
AlphaYou uses award context from USAspending.gov, the official U.S. government spending data source. An award can provide company context, but it does not establish revenue recognition, margin impact, delivery certainty, or a market outcome.
Public market commentary and third-party feeds can help identify a claim to investigate. They are not substitutes for a filing, issuer statement, or official award record. AlphaYou labels these sources as context and does not treat them as verification on their own.
