QuantQ: AI Stock Analysis Agent
In-depth analysis of an intelligent stock analysis agent using AI
QuantQ - Product Requirements Document
Author: J Sankpal · Version: 3.0 · March 2026 · Status: Implementation-Ready
Executive Summary
The gap: Financial professionals spend 10-15 minutes per question cross-referencing dashboards with 200-page SEC filings. The tools that solve this cost $10K-25K/year. General-purpose LLMs offer conversational access but hallucinate numbers and can't cite primary sources.
QuantQ is the first financial intelligence platform where every answer is simultaneously:
| Property | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Computationally grounded | Numbers parsed from SEC XBRL machine-readable tags - not scraped, not generated | Eliminates wrong-period, rounded, and typo errors that plague web-scraping approaches |
| Contextually intelligent | Agentic orchestrator connects data (what happened) with filing narrative (why) in multi-turn conversation | Users get the number AND the management explanation in one response |
| Fully auditable | Every claim links to exact filing section and XBRL tag; full provenance chain | Output can go directly into client memos, compliance files, and pitch decks |
No single competitor delivers all three. Bloomberg has the numbers. AlphaSense has the text search. QuantQ welds them together into production-ready research output at 1/200th the price.
Launch: Russell 3000 (tiered quality) · $49/mo Pro · $199/seat Teams · 10-week build
Target: 1,500 MAU and $5.4K MRR by Month 3 · $15K+ MRR by Month 6
The Problem
The 10-minute tax on every financial question
See interactive diagram below: The 10-Minute Tax on Every Financial Question
Why nothing on the market solves this
| Solution | Price | Gets right | Gets wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomberg / Capital IQ | $24K+/yr | Comprehensive data | Numbers and narratives on separate screens; priced for institutions |
| AlphaSense | $10K+/yr | Best transcript search | Text only - no structured metrics, no charts, no calculations |
| Dashboards (Koyfin etc.) | $39-299/mo | Clean charts, affordable | Static - can't explain why metrics changed |
| FinChat | $29-79/mo | Conversational AI | Limited source verification, no audit trail |
| ChatGPT / Claude | $0-20/mo | Natural conversation | Hallucinate numbers, cite web articles not filings |
| SEC EDGAR | Free | Authoritative source | 200-page PDFs, no search, no visualization |
The white space: Institutional-grade intelligence at prosumer prices. Nobody occupies the $50-200/month range with filing-grounded AI.
See interactive diagram below: The White Space Nobody Occupies
Who We're Building For
Primary: Independent RIA / Financial Advisor ($10-50M AUM)
Trigger: Client calls after earnings - "Should I be worried about my Apple position?" Advisor needs cited analysis within the hour.
Job: "I need filing-grounded insights I can reference in client communications - institutional-quality advice without institutional-cost tools."
Current pain: 30-45 min per company to cross-reference dashboard + EDGAR + Excel. No single tool connects the number → the explanation → the source citation.
QuantQ value: Same analysis in 2-3 minutes. Client email includes "per Apple's FY2024 10-K, Item 7" - not "I read somewhere that..."
WTP: $49/mo < one billable hour. Saves 10+ hours per quarterly review.
Secondary: Equity Research Analyst at Boutique Firm
Job: "Pull filing-verified data with provenance I can cite in pitch decks and comp tables."
Pain: Terminal access rationed. Building a 10-company comp table takes hours of manual extraction. Errors are career-limiting.
WTP: $199/seat replaces $50K-100K/yr in supplemental terminal licenses.
Tertiary: Sophisticated Retail Investor (Dividend/Value Focus)
Job: "Complete my quarterly portfolio review in 2 hours instead of 10."
WTP: Free tier for casual use; $49/mo during earnings season.
The Aha Moment
The aha is NOT "that was fast." It's: "I could put my name on this output."

| Auto-generated charts | Bar, line, comparison tables based on query intent | Production-ready visuals for deliverables |
| Source attribution | Clickable link to exact filing section on every claim | Audit trail for professional use - "no link, no fact" |
| Multi-turn conversation | Context preserved; "compare that to MSFT" works | Enables research sessions, not just single lookups |
| Multi-company comparison (Pro) | Up to 5 companies side-by-side, all sourced | Comp tables that would take 30-45 min manually |
| Financial synonym resolution | "top line" → "revenue" → "net sales" → XBRL tag | Eliminates missed retrievals from embedding gaps |
| Structured export (Pro) | Excel, formatted tables with provenance metadata | Output fits directly into professional workflows |
| Tiered quality indicators | Green/blue/yellow badges on every value | Users calibrate trust based on data quality |
| Confidence-based response | High → state directly · Medium → caveat · Low → decline | Prevents silent errors; maintains accuracy bar |
Query Types
| Type | Example | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Single metric | "Apple's FY2024 revenue?" | <200ms (fast path) |
| Trend | "MSFT margin trend, 5 years" | <2s |
| Comparison | "AAPL vs MSFT vs GOOG margins" | <2s |
| Explanation ("why") | "Why did Tesla margin decline?" | <4s |
| Calculation | "5-year CAGR for GOOGL revenue" | <1s |
| Follow-up | "How does that compare to TSLA?" | <2s |
Out of Scope (MVP)
Stock recommendations · Earnings call transcripts (V1.1) · International equities · Portfolio tracking/alerts (V1.1) · Form 4/13F/DEF 14A (V1.1) · Real-time prices (delayed Yahoo Finance quotes for valuation metrics only)
Activation & Conversion Design
Free-to-Pro wall: gate workflows, not quality
| Feature | Free | Pro ($49/mo) | Teams ($199/seat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Queries/day | 10 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Company coverage | Russell 3000 | Russell 3000 | Russell 3000 |
| Metrics | All 50 (single company) | All 50 + derived | All 50 + derived + custom |
| Comparisons | Not available | Up to 5 companies | Up to 10 companies |
| History | Current year | 5 years | 10 years |
| Export | Not available | Excel, formatted tables | Excel, PDF, API |
| Multi-turn | 3 follow-ups | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Saved sessions | Not available | 10/month | Unlimited |
| Audit trail | Not available | Not available | Full provenance export |
| SSO | Not available | Not available | SAML |
Conversion trigger: User hits the wall during professional work - needs to compare companies (gated), pull 5-year history (gated), or export a table for a presentation (gated). The wall is felt during the workflow that justifies $49/mo, not during casual browsing.
Success Metrics

Weekly Active Research Sessions (3+ queries on a topic): 200+ by Month 3
Primary Metrics
| Metric | Target | If missed |
|---|---|---|
| D7 Retention | 12%+ | <8%: retention mechanics failing |
| Free-to-Pro Conversion (30-day) | 5-8% | <3%: value prop not landing with professionals |
| Queries per Session | 4.0+ | <2.5: conversation UX failing |
| Source Link CTR | 15%+ | <8%: core trust value prop undermined |
| Export Rate (Pro) | 15%+ of sessions | <8%: output quality not meeting professional bar |

Risk Assessment
Component Risks
| Component | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| XBRL Pipeline | HIGH - non-standard filings cause silent errors harder to detect than hallucinations | Tiered quality; daily automated accuracy checks per tier; confidence flags; Russell 3000 only via tiered expansion |
| Intent Router | MEDIUM - misclassification sends queries to wrong path | Confidence scoring + clarification fallback; 8-10 few-shot examples per query type |
| Narrative RAG | MEDIUM - financial synonym gaps cause missed retrievals | Smart synonym expansion; 0.6 relevance threshold; re-query loop on low confidence |
| Period Alignment | MEDIUM - fiscal year-end differences cause subtle wrong-period errors | Automated FY-end cross-reference; special handling for non-standard FY (MSFT Jun, NKE May) |
| Analytics Tool | LOW - deterministic math | Unit tests; formula validation |
| Conversation Memory | MEDIUM - wrong company reference in multi-turn | LIFO resolution + explicit clarification prompts |
Top Business Risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Professional users don't trust AI for financial data | Full XBRL-tag audit trail; 99.5% Tier 1 accuracy; export with provenance; "verify in 10-K" CTA |
| Pricing in no-man's-land (too expensive for retail, too cheap for credibility) | Free tier for retail; Pro anchored against AlphaSense ($800+/mo), not ChatGPT ($20/mo) |
| General-purpose LLMs close the gap | Compete on computational grounding (XBRL tags) vs textual grounding (web scraping) - different error class |
| XBRL errors compound at Russell 3000 scale | Tiered quality with user-visible badges; never present uncertain data as certain |
| Low engagement - users ask 1-2 questions and leave | Suggested follow-ups; multi-turn context; quarterly review mode (V1.1); earnings alerts |
Kill Criteria
| Gate | When | Must-meet | If missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 XBRL accuracy | Week 3 | S&P 500 at 99.5%+ | Add 2 weeks; do not proceed |
| Orchestrator works | Week 5 | 20 test queries route correctly | Redesign intent classification |
| End-to-end demo | Week 8 | 3-turn aha sequence works for 5 companies | Simplify to single-turn; defer |
| Beta launch | Week 10 | 25+ users, 4.0+/5 satisfaction | Fix and relaunch in 2 weeks |
| PMF signal | Month 2 | D7 >8%, weekly sessions >50 | Interview churned users; iterate |
| Revenue validation | Month 4 | $5K MRR, Pro conversion >3% | Reassess pricing and persona fit |
Pre-Mortem: Why This Fails at Month 6
| # | Failure mode | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trust gap never closes. Analysts verify manually, conclude QuantQ doesn't save time. | Full XBRL-tag provenance chain. Export with citations. Aha moment in first 60 seconds. 99.5%+ accuracy - one wrong number kills trust permanently. |
| 2 | Pricing wrong. $49/mo too expensive for retail, too cheap for professional credibility. | Free tier generous for retail. Pro anchored against AlphaSense ($800+/mo). Teams ROI case: $597/mo for 3 seats vs $6K+/mo for terminal licenses. |
| 3 | Tier 3 data erodes trust in Tier 1. Wrong numbers for small-caps make users doubt all data. | User-visible tier badges. Tier 3 shows: "XBRL data not fully validated - verify with source." Never present uncertain data as certain. |
| 4 | No retention. Episodic use = no return without triggers. | Earnings alerts, weekly portfolio digests, session resume, quarterly review mode (V1.1). |
| 5 | Incumbents respond. AlphaSense launches a cheaper tier. | Speed to market. XBRL parsing + provenance chain + intervention gate = 6-12 months engineering lead. |
Why Agentic AI?
"Why did this metric change?" requires multi-step reasoning no single tool handles:
- Identify metric - Structured data (XBRL parsing)
- Retrieve value - Deterministic tool (PostgreSQL)
- Search narrative - Semantic retrieval (Pinecone)
- Synthesize answer - LLM reasoning (Claude Sonnet 4)
- Validate output - Intervention gate (deterministic)
- Maintain context - Conversation memory (PostgreSQL)
The LLM reasons about documents, routes execution, and explains findings - it never fabricates raw financial figures.
| LLM does | LLM does NOT do |
|---|---|
| Classify intent | Generate financial numbers |
| Plan tool calls | Make investment recommendations |
| Generate explanations from retrieved text | Paraphrase filing text (verbatim excerpts only) |
| Compute derived metrics from verified inputs | Recall data from training weights |
AI/ML Decisions
| Decision | Choice | Why | Rejected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orchestrator | Claude Sonnet 4 | Best tool-use reliability; strong structured output | GPT-4o (weaker tool-use), Llama 3 (ops burden) |
| Embeddings | OpenAI text-embedding-3-large | Highest quality on financial text similarity | Cohere (slightly lower), BGE (5-8% lower on domain tasks) |
| Approach | RAG + prompt engineering | Preserves source attribution; ships in 10 weeks | Fine-tuning (no labeled data, loses citations) |
| Architecture | Dual-speed orchestrator | 60% of queries don't need LLM; fast path <200ms | Single orchestrator (wastes cost/latency on lookups) |
| Storage | PostgreSQL + Pinecone (2 stores) | Clear ownership; no graph DB sync complexity | Neo4j (overkill for FK-based provenance chain) |
| Response handling | Confidence-based framing | High→state, Medium→caveat, Low→decline; scales | HITL review queue (doesn't scale, adds latency) |
Evaluation Plan
| What | Method | Cadence | Pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 metric accuracy | Automated benchmark: 200+ metrics vs EDGAR | Daily | 99.5%+ |
| Tier 2 metric accuracy | Automated benchmark: 100+ metrics vs EDGAR | Daily | 98%+ |
| Period alignment | FY-end cross-reference; non-standard FY test cases | Weekly | 99.5%+ (Tier 1) |
| Narrative relevance | Embedding similarity + LLM-as-judge | Weekly | ≥0.6 threshold |
| Comparative accuracy | 50+ known comparison pairs, both-sides-correct | Weekly | 95%+, zero inverted |
| Source attribution | Automated: ≥1 EDGAR link per factual claim | Every response | 100% |
| Latency | P50/P95/P99 by query type | Continuous | P95 <2s structured, <4s narrative |
| User satisfaction | Thumbs up/down + issue categorization | Continuous | >80% positive |
HHH Launch Criteria
| Phase | Helpful | Honest | Harmless |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta (Wk 10-12) | >70% positive; 3.0+ queries/session | 100% attribution; 99.5%+ Tier 1; zero false confidence | Zero investment advice; zero hallucinated numbers |
| Launch (Wk 14+) | >80% positive; 4.0+ queries/session; D7 >8% | Same at 500+ MAU; zero user-reported wrong Tier 1 numbers | Monthly compliance audit passing |
| Scale (Mo 4+) | >85% positive; D7 >12% | Same at 5K+ MAU; <1% user-disputed accuracy | SOC 2 Type I initiated |
Gate rule: Any dimension failing blocks progression. Honest failures trigger immediate pause.
Responsible AI
| Principle | How we implement it |
|---|---|
| Accountability | PM owns accuracy standards (99.5%+ Tier 1). Engineering owns pipeline integrity. Rollback: disable chat in 5 min; suppress individual company data in 1 min. User feedback reviewed within 24h. |
| Transparency | Every claim cites exact filing section + XBRL tag. Data tier badge on every response. Confidence reflected in framing. Users know they're interacting with AI. Filing date and fiscal period disclosed. |
| Fairness | All Russell 3000 covered. Large-cap quality advantage acknowledged via tier badges. Free tier ensures substantive access. No personalization - same question = same answer for every user. |
| Reliability | 99.5%+ Tier 1 is a hard requirement. System declines below 0.6 confidence. No investment advice. Stale data (>30 days) flagged. |
GTM & Launch Plan
Phased Launch
| Phase | When | Audience | Success criteria |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed Beta | Weeks 10-12 | Waitlist RIAs, boutique analysts, Reddit finance | D7 >8%, 25+ users, 4.0+/5 satisfaction |
| Public Launch | Week 14+ | Professional + sophisticated retail | 500 MAU, 5%+ Pro conversion, $980 MRR |
| Teams Launch | Month 4+ | Boutique firms, RIA practices | 5 Teams accounts, SSO + audit trail working |
Acquisition Bets
| Channel | Tactic | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|
| RIA communities (Kitces, NAPFA) | "How I research client holdings in 2 min with filing citations" | 20-30 high-intent signups/post |
| r/dividends (185K) | Weekly QuantQ vs manual analysis comparisons | 50-100 upvotes, 20-30 signups/post |

| RIA conferences (T3, Orion) | Demo: "AI research that meets compliance standards" | 10-20 Teams leads/event ($2-5K cost) |
Retention Mechanics
| Mechanic | Trigger | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings alert | Watched company files 10-Q/10-K | "AAPL just filed Q3 10-Q. Revenue +3.2%, margins flat." |
| Weekly digest (Pro) | Every Monday | "Your 12 holdings: 2 declining FCF, 1 filed 8-K this week." |
| Suggested follow-ups | After every response | "Compare to MSFT? 5-year trend? What did MD&A say?" |
| Session resume | Return within 7 days | "You were researching TSLA margins. Continue or start new?" |
| Quarterly review mode (V1.1) | Manual trigger | Guided workflow: review → flag changes → compare → summary |
Competitive Moat
Three properties that reinforce each other - a competitor must replicate all three simultaneously:
See interactive diagram below: Competitive Moat - Three Reinforcing Properties
Roadmap
| Phase | Timeline | Scope | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP | 10 weeks | Russell 3000 (tiered), 50 metrics, comparisons, export, citations | 25+ beta users, 99.5%+ Tier 1, 4.0+/5 |
| V1.1 | Mo 3-4 | Transcripts, Form 4/13F, segments, quarterly review mode, alerts | D7 >12%, Pro >5%, Teams >3 accounts |
| V2 | Mo 5-6 | API, Excel plugin, PDF reports, mobile, SOC 2 | 5K MAU, $15K MRR, 25+ Teams seats |
| V3 | Mo 7-12 | International (UK, EU), custom metrics, portfolio analysis | $50K MRR, path to $600K ARR |
Pricing & Unit Economics
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Trial + retail investors |
| Pro | $49/mo ($490/yr) | Independent advisors, analysts, sophisticated investors |
| Teams | $199/seat/mo (annual) | Boutique firms, RIA practices, corp dev teams |
Rationale: $49/mo = less than one billable hour. Anchored against AlphaSense ($800+/mo) at 1/16th the price, not against ChatGPT ($20/mo). Teams at $199/seat replaces $2K+/seat terminal licenses.
Unit Economics
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Cost per query | ~$0.02 |
| Cost per Pro user/month (40 queries avg) | ~$0.98 |
| Revenue per Pro user/month | $49.00 |
| Gross margin per Pro user | $48.02 (98%) |
| Fixed infrastructure/month | $460-660 |
| Break-even | 10 Pro users |
Revenue Scenarios (Month 12)
| Scenario | Pro users | Team seats | MRR | ARR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 100 | 10 | $6,890 | $82K |
| Moderate | 300 | 30 | $20,670 | $248K |
| Optimistic | 500 | 50 | $34,450 | $413K |
Open Questions
| Question | Owner | When | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEC/FINRA compliance review | Legal | Pre-launch (Wk 8) | Launch blocker |
| SOC 2 timeline | Eng/PM | Month 4 | Teams adoption |
| Data retention policy (GDPR/CCPA) | Legal/Eng | Pre-launch | User trust + compliance |
| Earnings transcript quality for V1.1 | Eng | Month 2 | V1.1 scope |
| International data sources for V3 | PM/Eng | Month 6 | Roadmap commitment |
Key Decisions Made
| Decision | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Prosumer ($49-199), not consumer ($19) or enterprise ($500+) | Targets the underserved gap between AlphaSense and dashboards |
| Coverage | Russell 3000 with tiered quality, not 50 companies | Professional credibility requires broad coverage; tiers manage risk |
| Accuracy bar | 99.5% Tier 1 (up from 98%) | Professional users face career risk from wrong numbers |
| Architecture | 2 stores (PostgreSQL + Pinecone), not 3 | No Neo4j needed; FK provenance chain handles relationships |
| Orchestrator | Dual-speed (fast path + full path) | 60% of queries don't need LLM reasoning |
| Low confidence | Confidence-based framing, not HITL queue | Scales without human bottleneck |
QuantQ - Grounded Financial Intelligence Every number parsed. Every claim cited. Every answer audit-ready.
The 10-Minute Tax on Every Financial Question
"Why did Tesla's gross margin decline?"
The White Space Nobody Occupies
Annual price per seat - institutional intelligence at prosumer prices
$50-200/month range: Institutional-grade intelligence at prosumer prices. Nobody occupies this space with filing-grounded AI. QuantQ is 1/200th the price of Bloomberg with XBRL-verified accuracy.
The Aha Moment
Not "that was fast" - it's "I could put my name on this output"
Why did Tesla's gross margin decline last year?
- Margin chart: 25.6% → 17.9% (FY2022 → FY2024)
- Exact MD&A paragraph explaining pricing strategy shift
- Clickable link to Item 7, page 47 of the 10-K
OK, sources are real. But ChatGPT kinda does this too.

Every response surfaces the filing date and fiscal period
Design philosophy: The LLM reasons about documents, routes execution, and explains -it never fabricates financial figures. All numbers come from deterministic tools backed by SEC XBRL data. The architecture enforces this at every layer.
System Workflow -Use Case Walkthrough
Trace a real query through every layer of the system
"What was Apple's revenue in FY 2024?"
Classifies → structured metric lookup (AAPL, revenue, FY2024)
Direct PostgreSQL query - no LLM reasoning needed. Sub-200ms.
SELECT value FROM metrics WHERE ticker=AAPL AND metric=revenue AND period=FY2024
Source exists ✓ Value matches XBRL ✓ Filing date attached ✓
Skipped -structured query doesn't need narrative retrieval

Competitive Moat
Three properties that reinforce each other - a competitor must replicate all three simultaneously
The moat is the intersection and the depth. Individual pieces are replicable. The integration of all three into a single verified output is not.
