Compliance
Disclosure-ready. Before the question is asked.
CAR analysis, R-factor scoring, and anomaly detection give your compliance team evidence, not guesswork. The audit trail is always assembled — ready whenever you need it.
Know if your stock moved before you said anything.
Quarterback 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.

Announcements
Appendix 4D and FY26 Half Year Report
CAR analysis
A 5-day CAR window runs on every material announcement — showing immediate market reaction, pre-announcement behaviour, and sustained impact over time. If your stock moved before you filed, you'll see it.
Pre-announcement CAR
Specifically tracks the period before each announcement. Unusual price or volume behaviour in the lead-up is flagged automatically with a pre-announcement CAR score.
Compliance-grade documentation
Every analysis is timestamped and stored. When a regulator asks what you knew and when, the documentation is already there — not assembled under pressure.
Catch anomalies the moment they appear.
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 which are market noise.
Abnormal day detection
Days where trading activity falls outside normal ranges are automatically flagged — with R-factor scores indicating the degree of abnormality. Know which days warrant investigation.
Unexplained price spike chart
A Z-score visualisation of significant price movements on days without announcements. Unexplained spikes plotted against your announcement history — instantly readable by your legal or compliance team.
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 moments that need immediate attention.
Find speculative language before it becomes a problem.
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.
Heard from a mate in the industry that XYZ are apparently looking at a takeover of ABC Mining. No idea if true but the speculation is heating up...
AI rumour flagging
Posts with speculative or rumour-pattern language are automatically identified and labelled in your activity feed. Review them in context without hunting through hundreds of posts.
"heard they might be in talks with..."
"apparently management are considering a placement"
"speculation mounting about a board spill"
"insider told me the drill results are huge"
Audit trail for rumour monitoring
Every flagged activity is logged with its detection timestamp. Demonstrates to regulators and your legal team that monitoring was active and systematic.
Six alert types. Configured to your risk tolerance.
Each alert type has adjustable sensitivity thresholds and is delivered via email and real-time in-app notifications — designed to match your compliance team's reporting requirements.
Real-time email + in-app notifications
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.
Price movement alerts
Set percentage thresholds calibrated to your market cap and volatility profile. Adjustable sensitivity means fewer false positives for companies that need it most.
Activity spike alerts
Detect abnormal volumes of market commentary or media coverage relative to your company's historical baseline. Identify emerging situations before they escalate.
Price spike alerts
Real-time detection of sudden intraday price movements deviating from normal patterns. Triggered independently of scheduled thresholds.
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 behaviour.
Build your compliance record as you go. Not after the fact.
Quarterback assembles a continuous, timestamped record of market activity around your company every day — whether or not anything unusual is happening. When something does happen, the documentation is already built.
“Anyone else notice the volume today? Something's brewing...”
“XYZ Resources flags potential strategic review amid sector consolidation”
“Apparently board met yesterday — insider says takeover offer on the table”
XYZ Resources Ltd — Trading Halt
Pending announcement regarding a material acquisition
“Called it. Now the question is price. Management won't go cheap after the Q3 beat.”
“XYZ Resources confirms approach from Global Mining Corp in $1.2B deal”
RG 162 monitoring support
Quarterback supports your obligations under ASIC Regulatory Guide 162 — continuous monitoring of internet discussion sites for material information. Engaged with ASIC as part of the broader compliance infrastructure conversation.
Pre-built for regulatory response
When a regulatory question comes in, you're not scrambling to reconstruct a timeline. The complete, timestamped record is already there — ready to share with your legal team.
“Having Quarterback meant that when we needed to respond to a regulatory enquiry, we could do it in hours rather than days. The audit trail was already there.”
