The 2026 Intelligence Release
The Quarterback platform, rebuilt from the ground up. Not just faster — smarter. A new intelligence layer that surfaces market context, pre-announcement signals, and disclosure risk in real time. For the teams responsible for knowing what the market knows before it moves.
Letter from the Founder
Quarterback has always done something no other platform does — monitor every conversation happening about your company across the market, and connect it to what's happening on-price. That foundation hasn't changed. What this release changes is how you interact with that intelligence.
The Intelligence Release is built on what our customers told us they needed: faster access to the insights that matter, clearer signals in noisy markets, and tools that go beyond surveillance into genuine market intelligence. We've added sector benchmarking so you can instantly separate company-specific movements from macro trends. We've built compliance tools around CAR analysis, R-factor scoring, and anomaly detection — so your team has quantitative evidence, not just instinct. And we've redesigned every page around quick-glance summaries and deeper drill-downs, so you get what you need in seconds, not minutes.
This is Quarterback moving from market monitoring into market intelligence … and we're just getting started.
— Amy Miocevich
A Smarter, Faster Platform
The entire platform has been re-engineered — new architecture, new interface, and a fundamentally more intelligent approach to data processing. 103 new charts and visualisations surface the insights that used to take hours to find manually.
Enterprise-Grade Interactive Data Tables
Every major page now features interactive data tables with column filtering, multi-column sorting, row grouping, and one-click CSV export. Whether you're reviewing activity feeds, announcement histories, or author profiles — the data is sortable, filterable, and exportable without leaving the platform.
Built on a New Engine
A new API-driven architecture processes data in real time — eliminating the lag between action and insight. Filtering, searching, navigating — everything responds the way a modern intelligence platform should.
Designed for Daily Use
A refined interface with interactive data tables, responsive layouts, and consistent navigation — built for teams who live in the platform, not just visit it.
Search That Actually Works
Search has been rebuilt from scratch with a new indexing engine. Fast, accurate results across activities, announcements, and authors with the reliability you'd expect from a tool your compliance team depends on.
Smarter Sentiment Analysis
Our AI sentiment engine has been recalibrated for significantly greater accuracy — with corrections applied across the full historical dataset. More precise classification means more trustworthy signals, across every activity type and source.
Market Context Intelligence
Understand why your share price moved, not just that it moved. Quarterback now separates company-specific signals from broader market forces — the distinction your board, your investors, and your compliance team actually need.
Sector & Commodity Benchmarking
Overlay your share price against relevant ASX sector indices and commodity benchmarks in real time. Instantly determine whether a price movement is about your company or about the market — the difference between a disclosure event and a macro trend. Built for the teams preparing board commentary, responding to investor queries, and assessing whether a movement warrants further action.

Correlation Analysis
Quantify the relationship between your share price and 35 commodities, sector indices, and macro indicators. Heatmaps reveal relationship strength at a glance, rolling correlation charts track how dependencies shift over time, and R-squared gauges measure explanatory power — with Beta and Alpha metrics for every pairing. No other IR platform offers this level of quantitative market correlation.
Connect IR Activity to Market Outcomes
Every engagement your IR team makes should be measurable. Quarterback now maps investor relations activity directly to share price and volume movements so you can demonstrate impact, not just effort.
Announcement Impact Analysis
Every ASX announcement is automatically analysed with Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR) — showing immediate market reaction, sustained impact over time, and comparative performance against your announcement history. Generate a board-ready PDF report for any announcement in one click.
AI-Powered Activity Linking
Activities, media coverage, and market chatter are intelligently linked to related announcements — replacing arbitrary day-based grouping with contextual, announcement-level association. Open any announcement to see its full market footprint: impact data, sentiment breakdown, and every linked activity in one view.
Offline Activity Mapping
Log conferences, roadshows, investor calls, and webinars. Quarterback correlates each activity against share price and volume movements — giving you the data to attribute market response to specific IR efforts, not just timing.
Sustained Impact Tracking
The market's first reaction isn't the full story. Track how announcements and IR activities perform beyond the initial response — monitoring sentiment shifts, volume changes, and price trends over days and weeks to understand lasting effect.
Continuous Disclosure Intelligence
Quantitative tools for identifying unusual market activity and managing disclosure risk — built around the metrics regulators and boards actually care about. CAR analysis, R-factor scoring, and anomaly detection give your compliance team evidence, not guesswork.
Pre-Announcement Leak Detection
Quarterback's AI analyses trading patterns in the lead-up to every announcement using Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR). Combined with R-factor scoring and announcement-free day anomaly detection, the platform surfaces the specific days that warrant investigation — turning what used to be a reactive process into a proactive one.
Unusual Activity Scoring
Days with statistically unusual price or volume movements — but no announcements — are automatically flagged with severity indicators. R-factor scores quantify the degree of abnormality, helping your team prioritise which periods require review and documentation, and which are market noise.
Unexplained Price Spikes
Significant price movements on days without announcements
Announcement Category Auto-Sorting
Every ASX announcement is automatically classified into one of 15 categories — from earnings and capital raises to exploration updates and director appointments. Filtering, comparing, and benchmarking announcements becomes instant, and historical analysis by category reveals patterns in how the market responds to different disclosure types.
Rumour Detection & Flagging
Speculative language patterns — "might be", "could be", "rumour has it" — are identified and flagged by AI across forums, social media, and news sources. Activities containing rumour characteristics are marked within the platform, giving you a clear audit trail for monitoring potential down-ramping and misinformation.
Configurable Alert System
Six alert types — each with adjustable sensitivity thresholds and delivered via email and real-time in-app notifications — designed to match your risk tolerance and reporting requirements.
Sentiment Alerts
Set custom sentiment thresholds. Get notified the moment market commentary crosses into significantly positive or negative territory — before it becomes a trend.
Broad Search Alerts
Monitor for sensitive keywords — project names, counterparties, transaction details. Built specifically for tracking potential information leakage on confidential matters before it surfaces publicly.
Price Movement Alerts
Set percentage thresholds calibrated to your market cap and volatility profile. Adjustable sensitivity means fewer false positives for the companies that need it most.
Activity Spike Alerts
Detect abnormal volumes of market commentary or media coverage relative to your company's historical baseline. Designed to identify emerging situations before they escalate.
Price Spike Alerts
Real-time detection of sudden, significant intraday price movements that deviate from normal trading patterns. Triggered independently of scheduled thresholds — designed to surface the moments that need immediate attention.
Leak Detection & Abnormal Day Alerts
In-app notifications triggered when unusual pre-announcement trading patterns are detected or when announcement-free days exhibit statistically abnormal price and volume behaviour. Proactive alerts for your compliance team — before they become regulatory questions.
⚡ Semantic Search Shortcuts
Pre-configured AI search filters accessible from the main search bar — rumour identification, negative sentiment isolation, overvalued commentary detection. Reduces the time from question to evidence to seconds.
Stakeholder Reporting, Automated
Stop building board reports manually. Quarterback generates complete market intelligence summaries directly from the platform — and keeps your wider team informed with automated email recaps.
Board-Ready in One Click
Generate a comprehensive market intelligence summary for your board or management committee without leaving the platform. Sentiment trends, engagement data, media coverage, key commentary — packaged, formatted, and ready to present.
Automated Stakeholder Updates
Scheduled daily and weekly email recaps delivered to your team — so the people who need to stay across market sentiment don't need to log in to do it. Configure different schedules and content for different recipients.
Portrait & Landscape Report Formats
Generate one-click PDF reports in both portrait and landscape formats. Landscape reports are purpose-built for data-heavy board presentations — wider charts, expanded tables, and side-by-side comparisons that make complex market intelligence readable in a boardroom setting.

A complete analytics suite for outbound investor communications. Measure the market impact of every broadcast, compare campaign performance over time, and connect engagement metrics directly to share price movements — with native Mailchimp integration.
Broadcast Events vs Price Impact
Overlay your broadcast timeline against share price and volume movements to identify which communications drove measurable market response. Track immediate reaction, sustained impact, and cumulative effect across your entire broadcast history.
Campaign Comparison
Side-by-side performance analysis across broadcast campaigns — open rates, click-through, engagement depth, and corresponding market movements. Identify what resonates with your investor base and what falls flat.
Mailchimp Integration
Native integration pulls broadcast data directly from Mailchimp — no manual uploads, no CSV wrangling. Engagement metrics flow into Quarterback automatically, enriched with market context your email platform can't provide.
Cadence & Engagement Analysis
Analyse how broadcast frequency correlates with investor engagement and market attention. Optimise your communication cadence based on data, not guesswork — with charts tracking engagement trends over time.
Performance Funnels & Format Mix
Visualise the full engagement funnel from delivery to market impact. Format mix analysis breaks down performance by communication type — investor updates, quarterly reports, ad-hoc announcements — so you know which formats drive results.
AI-Powered Market Intelligence
A unified intelligence layer across forums, media, social platforms, and ASX announcements — correlated against share price movements. Quarterback doesn't just collect data. It interprets it.
“No need to search everywhere for online comments & articles. Quarterback is listening globally and we bring it all together & apply data intelligence so you know what mattered on-market.”
90,000+ Sources, One Platform

AI-Generated Insights
Author profiles reveal how key commentators position your company over time. Announcement summaries synthesise content, market response, and financial context — automatically.
