Getting started

From the landing page to a useful answer

Six steps, one real company, real screens. There is not a single figure quoted on this page — the numbers are on the screens, live, and a quoted one here would be wrong by tomorrow.

  1. Open the terminal

    The terminal is one screen at a time, driven by a command bar. Everything below uses Apple Inc. as the worked example — substitute any listed US issuer and the path is identical.

    You can also press Ctrl+K to focus the command bar from anywhere, type SOVW and press Enter.

  2. Read the whole company on one screen

    SOVW is the orientation screen: business description, price, valuation, capital structure and the latest filings, each card fetched independently so one dead source cannot blank the page. Note the line under each card naming the upstream it came from. Every figure in this product carries one; a figure without one is a bug worth reporting.

    A card showing an em dash is telling you the field was not published. It is never a zero standing in for a missing value.

  3. Ask what the market is paying, and against what

    RV puts the same multiples beside a peer group discovered at request time. Read the peer list before the multiples: the basket is derived from classification data, and the manual entry for RV sets out exactly how it is built and where it is unreliable.

  4. Get the discount rate, and its assumptions

    WACC shows the blended cost of capital with every component visible — the risk-free rate, the beta, the market risk premium, the cost of debt and the tax rate. The components matter more than the headline: two of them are estimated in ways that are stated plainly in the manual.

  5. Check it against what the company actually filed

    FA is the reported financial history straight from SEC XBRL — no restatements, no non-GAAP adjustments, only what was tagged in the filings. It is the screen to reach for when a provider figure and your own model disagree.

  6. Keep it

    Add the issuer to a watchlist so the next session starts where this one ended, and check the calendar for the next dated event that could change any of the above.

    That is the five-minute path. The screen index lists everything else, and each screen's manual entry names its limits before you rely on it.
