Quarterly readoutPer-event on requestBoard-ready
The board asks whether IR is working. This is the answer.
Calls held and conferences attended are activity, not outcomes. The IR Readout scores every announcement of your quarter — market reaction, volume, and what that event class normally does — against 26M+ news events over 20+ years.
Four pages per quarter. Every claim is a measurement. The problem
Activity is not an outcome.
What boards get
Calls held: 84. Conferences: 6. Coverage: 4 initiations.
Effort, counted. It says nothing about whether the market heard any of it.
What the readout shows
6 announcements. 5 measurable reactions. Median +1.8% against a +1.4% class baseline.
Outcomes, measured from the news timestamp and scored against 20 years of the same event class. The board reads it in one page.

Inside the readout · 01
The event log: your quarter, scored.
Every announcement of the quarter — press releases, filings, earnings — with its measured market reaction and volume multiple. A dash is a finding, not a gap: the market did not react.

Reaction scores vs 20-year baselines.
A +1.8% move on earnings means nothing on its own. Against 20 years of the same event class it becomes a score: what this announcement did versus what announcements like it normally do. That is what “normal” looks like, per event class — not per news cycle.

Levi (Tel Aviv), Livnat (NYU Stern), Zhang (Rutgers) & Zhang (UC Berkeley Haas), 2016 — “Are extended hours prices predictive of subsequent stock returns?” — peer-reviewed research built on News Quantified data. The study validates the event-reaction methodology: the measured market reaction to a news event predicts the subsequent drift.
Inside the readout · 03
The no-reaction diagnosis.
“We put out material news and the market shrugs.” The readout does not stop at the dash — every announcement with no measurable reaction gets a diagnosis, drawn from the dataset, on three axes.
01
Timing
When it hit the tape: into the close, inside a peer’s earnings window, on a macro day. The dataset shows what the same event class does in each slot — and what yours gave up.
02
Crowding
How many stories competed for attention in your window — in your name, your sector, and the broad tape — and how reactions to your event class decay as crowding rises.
03
Novelty
Whether the announcement contained information the market did not already hold. Restated or pre-signaled news scores low on novelty — and reactions to it are measurably smaller.
Inside the readout · 04
The trend the board tracks.
One line, four quarters: the share of your announcements the market measurably heard. It moves when your program moves — timing, messaging, event selection. That is the outcome metric activity reports cannot produce.
