Data Transparency
At Echelon Atlas, we believe you deserve to know exactly where your investment information comes from. This page explains our data sourcing practices and provides a live audit trail of every update made to company profiles.
Where Our Data Comes From
Company profiles on Echelon Atlas are enriched with official financial data pulled directly from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system — the same government database that public companies are legally required to file with. This means you're seeing real, government-sourced filings, not estimates or third-party approximations.
How Often It's Updated
Our system automatically checks for new SEC filings on each trading day. When a company publishes a new 10-K (annual report), 10-Q (quarterly report), or 8-K (material event), our enrichment pipeline fetches the latest XBRL-tagged financial data and updates the company's profile accordingly.
What the Audit Log Shows
The audit log below is a live record of every profile update attempt — successful or not. It shows which company was updated, which fields changed, when it happened, and the outcome. This gives you confidence that the data you're looking at reflects the most recently available public disclosures.
Why This Matters for Black-Owned Businesses
Historically, Black-owned and Black-led public companies have been underrepresented in mainstream financial data platforms. By sourcing directly from SEC EDGAR and maintaining a transparent update log, we ensure these companies receive the same rigorous, up-to-date financial coverage as any other publicly traded firm.
