WHAT IS EDGAR-INSIDER®.

EDGAR-INSIDER’s Reg D Score is a behavioral intelligence and scoring platform focused on disclosure asymmetries, issuer-risk analysis, and other due diligence intelligence found in Regulation D private placements.

Reg D Score transforms fragmented issuer disclosures into structured investor-risk intelligence for accredited investors and professionals operating in private capital and alternative investment markets.

WHO WE ARE

EDGAR-INSIDER® is a behavioral-intelligence-focused team of analysts and researchers responsible for its two proprietary intelligence platforms.

Reg D Score® is focused on disclosure asymmetries, issuer-risk analysis, and due diligence intelligence of exempt issuers on behalf of investors.

Reg D Verify® verifies the status and standing of individual investors on behalf of issuers.

Structured issuer-risk analysis designed to identify disclosure inconsistencies, behavioral anomalies, founder-risk indicators, and capital-behavior patterns.

Behavioral investor intelligence, accreditation analysis, and due diligence reporting for issuers, placement professionals, and private market participants.

Behavioral Dataset

We analyze thousands of data points across filings, enforcement actions, and public records.

Comparative Patterning

Our models benchmark issuers against peers to surface unusual or high-risk behavior.

Quiet Risk Detection

We identify risks that don't show up in disclosures but matter deeply to performance.

Independent & Objective

No issuer pays for a score. Our analysis is independent, transparent, and repeatable.

ABOUT EDGAR-INSIDER®

EDGAR-INSIDER® is a structured execution-oriented framework that systematically scores Form D disclosure quality while surfacing material non-disclosures, insider de-risking, quiet restructurings, and founder liquidity asymmetries — without over-claiming authority or drifting into regulated advice.

WHAT WE ARE —
AND WHAT WE ARE NOT

Not a Regulator
Not an Auditor
Not an Investment Advisor

We provide information integrity and pattern-detection services designed to normalize fragmented public disclosures, detect disclosure asymmetries and capital-behavior patterns, while translating issuer-centric filings into investor-centric risk signals.

A BEHAVIORAL DATASET,
NOT A COMPLIANCE DATASET

Capital Behavior Patterns

While most treat Form D as a static compliance artifact, we treat it as a behavioral time series. We focus on temporal inconsistencies, capital flow sequencing, and disclosure entropy over time. We reframe EDGAR from a filing system into a founder-risk telemetry feed.

OUR PROPRIETARY DISCLOSURE
SCORING FRAMEWORK

EDGAR-INSIDER’s proprietary enhanced disclosure scoring system rewards internal consistency, continuity across filings, and alignment between use-of-proceeds narratives and capital behavior, while penalizing disclosure-omission volatility, entity-name drift, and post-raise structural changes. Our power comes from comparative context, not issuer claims.

OUR METHODOLOGY
Reg D Scoring Methodology

Reg D Scoring® Methodology

Our proprietary methodology evaluates Regulation D offerings across six core domains to identify disclosure gaps, behavioral risk signals, and structural red flags.

01

Disclosure Integrity

Evaluation of filing consistency, disclosure continuity, and structural alignment across Regulation D disclosures.

Examples include:
  • Completeness of Form D disclosures
  • Consistency between amendments
  • Alignment with offering materials
02

Behavioral Analysis

Identification of issuer behavior patterns, capital sequencing, insider positioning, and disclosure asymmetries.

Examples include:
  • Founder liquidity and risk transfer
  • Insider transactions and timing
  • Use-of-proceeds vs. actual activity
03

Comparative Patterning

Contextual benchmarking against historical issuer behavior and offering structures.

Examples include:
  • Peer group and industry comparisons
  • Historical offering performance
  • Outlier and anomaly detection

A Defensible, Transparent Framework

Each domain is independently scored and combined into a proprietary 0–100 Reg D Score®, delivering a clear, reproducible risk assessment.
