Feature guide, sample queries, and tips for getting the most out of Silent Facts
Silent Facts is a corporate intelligence platform that builds a knowledge graph from public SEC filings (10-K, 8-K, 20-F, S-1, Form 4, 13F, SC 13D, SC TO-T, and more). It discovers relationships between companies, people, auditors, and funds that are buried in regulatory filings and surfaces them as an interactive, queryable network.
Every day, an automated pipeline scans the latest SEC filings, market calendars, and index changes, then updates the graph and generates intelligence reports. Everything runs on free-tier infrastructure with zero API costs.
The platform covers ~500+ public companies across the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and DOW 30 indices.
Ask questions in plain English — the system translates them to graph queries
Location: Home → Terminal tab
Type any question about companies, people, or relationships. The system uses an LLM to translate your question into a Neo4j Cypher query, runs it against the knowledge graph, and returns structured results with an interactive network diagram.
Visual network diagram of corporate relationships
Location: Appears in Terminal after running a query
When a query returns graph data, an interactive network diagram appears. Nodes represent companies, people, auditors, or funds. Edges represent relationships like board seats, supply chains, auditor engagements, and investments.
blast AAPL with all edges, blast NVDA INTC MU including supernodes, blast JNJ with 3 hops unfiltered. The checkbox is shown so the option is discoverable, not because clicking it re-fetches data.
All new relationships discovered by today's pipeline run
Location: Home → Daily Intelligence tab
Every day at 2:00 AM, the automated pipeline scans new SEC filings and extracts relationships. The Daily Intelligence tab shows everything discovered in the last 48 hours: new board appointments, supply chain contracts, auditor changes, M&A events, restructurings, and more.
Earnings, IPOs, splits, index changes, takeover bids, and insider activity
Location: Home → Market Calendar tab
Six sub-tabs covering every major market event type. All data is free, sourced from Nasdaq APIs, SEC EDGAR, and Wikipedia.
Upcoming earnings dates for tracked companies. Click any row to expand sympathy movers — suppliers and customers of the reporting company who might move in response.
Upcoming, priced, filed, and withdrawn IPOs. Click a filed IPO to see deep S-1 analysis: underwriters, use of proceeds, risk factors, offering size. Hit "Analyze S-1" to trigger on-demand extraction.
Upcoming stock splits with ratio and execution date. Companies in the tracked universe are flagged.
S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and DOW 30 additions and removals with post-event performance charts (day -14 to day +28).
Universe-wide scan of SC TO-T (acquirer tender offers) and SC 14D9 (target responses). LLM classifies each as hostile, friendly, or unknown. Status tracking: pending, accepted, rejected, withdrawn, completed. ACTIVIST-LINKED badge when a tracked activist filed a 13D on the same target.
Form 4 insider transactions from officers, directors, and 10%+ holders. Net flow aggregates (buys vs. sells), cluster buy detection (3+ insiders buying the same stock), and board interlock badges. Filters: discretionary only (excludes 10b5-1 plans), hide corporate programs (ESPP bulk purchases), hide foreign issuers.
Monitor specific tickers and get notified when new relationships are discovered
Location: Home → Watchlist & Alerts tab
Add tickers to your watchlist and the system generates alerts whenever the daily pipeline discovers new relationships involving those companies. Alerts include the relationship type, the connected entity, context from the filing, and a link to the source document.
Network science algorithms reveal hidden patterns across the entire corporate graph
Location: Graph Analytics page →
Five tabs of analysis computed nightly using NetworkX on the full ~9,100-node / ~16,500-edge graph.
Track legendary investors' 13F quarterly holdings and activist campaigns
Location: Whale Watch page →
Follow 20 curated whales — Buffett, Soros, Ackman, Icahn, Dalio, Burry, and more. See what they're buying, selling, and where they overlap.
Universe-wide Form 4 scanning with noise filters and cluster detection
Every Form 4 filed against tracked companies is ingested. The real value isn't individual transactions — it's the cluster buys: when 3+ distinct insiders are buying the same stock independently, that's a genuine consensus signal.
SC TO-T / SC 14D9 universe-wide tender offer scanner with hostile-bid classifier
Location: Home → Market Calendar → Active Bids
Every tender offer filed with the SEC is captured, regardless of whether the acquirer is a tracked whale. The LLM reads the filing cover page and Item 4 to classify each bid as hostile, friendly, or unknown, and extracts the per-share offer price.
Six event scanners surface the day's most significant pipeline discoveries as importance-ranked news cards with LLM-generated headlines and summaries.
Turn SEC intelligence into share-ready social media posts
Location: Content Studio page →
One-click generation of Twitter (280 char) and LinkedIn (600 char) post drafts from breaking news items. The LLM creates both variants in a single call. All posts require manual approval before publishing — no auto-post.

Daily pipeline runs at 2:00 AM and covers: index membership changes, earnings/IPO/split calendars, 8-K current reports, takeover bids (14-day window), activist 13D filings, Form 4 insider transactions (7-day window), whale 13F updates (quarterly, 7-day staleness gate), graph analytics recomputation, and breaking news generation.
Graph analytics (PageRank, communities, etc.) refresh daily and are cached in SQLite for instant page loads.
13F whale data is inherently quarterly with a 45-day filing lag. The pipeline checks daily but new data only appears once per quarter.
Form 4 insider transactions must be filed within 2 business days of the transaction, so the 7-day window over-covers comfortably.
