CFOs and company secretaries carry responsibility for ensuring their company has appropriate systems and processes in place to meet its continuous disclosure obligations. Quarterback is one component of that monitoring framework — it captures market activity systematically, surfaces things that may warrant attention, and maintains a documented record of what was observed and when.
A documented record of market activity. Built automatically.
Quarterback logs market activity around your company continuously — every mention, every sentiment shift, every unusual day flagged — with timestamps. The record builds itself without anyone having to do anything.
XYZ Resources quarterly results beat analyst expectations
"apparently management are considering a placement"

"insider told me the drill results are huge"
XYZ flags record production quarter ahead of results
Continuous activity timeline
A searchable, timestamped record of coverage and commentary across media, forums, social platforms, and ASX announcements — updated automatically, every day.
Abnormal day detection
Days where trading activity falls outside normal ranges are flagged automatically with R-factor scores. A documented record of which days were identified and when.
Pre-announcement CAR analysis
Cumulative Abnormal Returns analysis runs across your announcement history — surfacing whether unusual trading activity preceded any of your filings.
Surfaced automatically. Assessed by your team.
Quarterback identifies activity patterns that may be relevant to your disclosure obligations. What those patterns mean, and whether they require action, is a decision for your team and your advisors.

Pre-announcement pattern flagging
Unusual trading patterns before an announcement are surfaced for review. A starting point for investigation — not a conclusion.
When a query arrives, the timeline is already there.
Company secretaries responding to ASX price queries need to be able to account for what the market knew and when. Quarterback's continuous activity record provides a starting point for that process — a searchable, timestamped log that your legal team can work from.
