How it works

Read. Prove. Challenge. Review.

Every page against every other page, your earlier 10-Ks and 10-Qs, your 8-Ks and your proxy.

Every point carries its page, the highlighted words and the rule cited for the period.

Item 7 · MD&A overview (illustrative)

…Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $412.6 million, reflecting continued demand across our segments…

Regulation S-K · Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A)

A presentation, with equal or greater prominence, of the most directly comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)…

A second pass argues the company’s side. Only points that survive at 99% become findings; others become questions or are dropped, and counted.

FindingThe non-GAAP measure leads the MD&A; the GAAP result appears two pages later.
ChallengeDoes the GAAP measure appear with equal prominence elsewhere in the overview?
ResultKept. Prominence is judged where the non-GAAP measure is presented, and the overview opens with it.

A qualified professional reviews every point. When a company reviews its own filing, the report goes to the CFO and the audit committee chair together.

What a US review reads

Six places the SEC staff looks first

MD&A

Results, liquidity and critical accounting estimates, read against the financial statements (Item 303).

Non-GAAP measures

Prominence, reconciliation and labels (Regulation G and Item 10(e)).

Segments and revenue

Segment and disaggregation disclosures consistent across the filing (ASC 280, ASC 606).

Risk factors

Risks described against what the filing and your 8-Ks show happened (Item 105).

Controls

Disclosure controls and ICFR conclusions read against the rest of the filing (SOX 302 and 404).

Cyber, compensation, proxy

Item 106, Item 402 and the proxy, consistent with the 10-K.

Each point: the page, the highlighted words, and the rule cited.

How we prove each point

Four things on every observation. Check them yourself.

  1. 1

    The page

    The page number and the highlighted words from your 10-K, so your team finds it in seconds.

  2. 2

    The rule

    The requirement quoted, in the version in force for the period, not today’s.

  3. 3

    The challenge

    Management’s best answer argued first. A point is a finding only at 99%; otherwise it is a question, or dropped and counted.

  4. 4

    The review

    Every report is reviewed by Sandeep Choudhary before release.

Free · any SEC filer

Three findings from the latest 10-K. Free, in 48 hours.

Give us a ticker. We read the company’s latest Form 10-K from EDGAR and send you three findings, each with the page, the words and the rule quoted.

  • Public filings only, so no NDA and no draft needed
  • Every point reviewed by a qualified professional before it is sent
  • If fewer than three points meet our standard, we tell you so

One free teaser per company. Teasers go only to people at the company, its auditor or its audit committee: we check the email domain against the filer and decline other requests. Not an audit, review or other attestation or assurance engagement, and not legal advice. Pramanex is not a CPA firm and is not registered with the PCAOB. We report observations; your auditor, your counsel and your disclosure committee keep their responsibilities.

Before you ask

What US finance teams ask first

Is this an audit or a SOX attestation?

No. It is AI-assisted observations, reviewed by a qualified professional. It is not an audit, not an attestation or assurance engagement, and not legal advice. Pramanex is not a CPA firm.

How do you handle a draft that is material non-public information?

We sign an NDA that expressly binds us to confidentiality, our reviewer follows your insider trading policy, and nothing is sent through this website.

What does it cost?

A 3-finding teaser on your company’s latest 10-K is free. The 10-K Pre-filing Check is USD 1,950 and the Full 10-K Review with the SEC comment-letter commitment check is USD 5,950, both fixed and paid in advance. Larger engagements are quoted after a scoping call. See pricing.

Will our auditor object?

It should not. The review is your own reading of your own document; we are not your auditor and are not affiliated with it, and the report goes to you and your audit committee chair. Whether to share it with the auditor is your decision. More for CFOs, audit firms and audit committees.

What happens to our draft?

Conflicts check and NDA first, a secure transfer method agreed in writing, review by the people assigned to you, and deletion 30 days after delivery. What is in place today and what is still in progress: security and confidentiality.
