Introducing AI Peer Analysis

Active IntelligenceTM Peer Analysis, embedded directly within ActiveDisclosure, delivers secure, disclosure-driven insights by comparing filings across true peer sets and equivalent SEC sections. Designed to cut through noise caused by formatting or structural differences, it helps teams identify disclosure gaps, trends, and anomalies while improving consistency and quality.

Announcing AI Historical Analysis

DFIN Historical Analysis compares current SEC filings against a company’s prior‑period disclosures to surface meaningful changes, inconsistencies, and emerging trends over time. By highlighting what has shifted from one filing to the next, it helps teams maintain a consistent narrative, reduce risk, and approach each filing with greater confidence.
