# Monitor SEC filings and route them to the right team

Briefwell's SEC filings feed pulls filings with fair-access pacing and routes the relevant ones to the desk that needs them, with full provenance retained on every item.

Briefwell is a proactive monitoring tool for SEC filings monitoring. Its SEC filings feed is a dedicated source type that collects filings on your cadence with fair-access pacing, and has AI judge which filings are notable against a goal you set. Every item keeps full provenance traceable back to the original filing, and for funds and finance use the guardrail is explicit: no MNPI-adjacent sourcing.

## At a glance

- **What it watches:** SEC filings for the filers and filing types you choose, collected on your configured cadence.
- **How it decides:** A persistent goal per source (a filing type, threshold, or topic) drives which filings are raised versus archived.
- **What you get:** An update per notable filing, or a scheduled brief, with the source snapshot and record of what changed.
- **Guardrail:** No MNPI-adjacent sourcing; full provenance is retained on every filing so any judgment is auditable after the fact.
- **Where it goes:** Email, a Slack notification, or a signed webhook; updates can also be routed into Salesforce, HubSpot, or a Google Sheet for tracking.
- **Best for:** Funds, research, and compliance desks that need timely, provenance-backed filing coverage.

## Fair-access pacing, not scraping around limits

The SEC filings feed is a dedicated source type that respects fair-access pacing rather than treating filings as a page to scrape aggressively. Set up the filers or filing types you care about, and Briefwell collects new filings on your configured cadence.

## A goal that routes filings, not just collects them

Set a persistent goal per source describing what matters — a filing type, a threshold, or a topic — so AI triage judges which filings are notable enough to raise an update versus which belong in the activity feed or a scheduled brief.

## Built for the funds guardrail

For funds and finance use, Briefwell's guardrail is explicit: no MNPI-adjacent sourcing, and full provenance is retained on every filing. Each update keeps the source snapshot and a record of what changed, traceable back to the original filing, so the basis for any judgment is auditable after the fact.

## Route to the desk that owns it

Deliver filing briefs to email, a Slack notification, or a signed webhook, or route updates into Salesforce, HubSpot, or a Google Sheet for tracking. Assignment and comments let a compliance or research desk work through incoming filings together.

## How it works

1. Point Briefwell at the web pages, feeds, APIs, or research topics you want to watch.
2. It checks them on a schedule, compares each result with the previous version, and keeps a record of what changed.
3. When a change matters, Briefwell creates an update — judged and explained, with the evidence attached — and delivers it to Slack, email, your CRM, or a signed webhook.

## Questions

### Does Briefwell source anything MNPI-adjacent for filings monitoring?

No. The guardrail for funds and finance use is explicit: no MNPI-adjacent sourcing, with full provenance retained on every filing.

### How does Briefwell's SEC feed avoid being rate-limited?

It uses fair-access pacing rather than an unpaced scrape, collecting filings on your configured cadence as a dedicated source type.

### Can I prove where a filing update came from later?

Yes. Every update keeps the source snapshot and a record of what changed, traceable back to the original filing, and the history is searchable.
