WHAT CHANGED · RULE-BASED ANALYSIS

Supporting file metadata differs

Newly listed paths: README.md, agents/openai.yaml. This compares saved file lists, not package contents; a different collection source can change the list.

Observed in package metadata. These changes alone do not establish a new customer-facing feature.

Use Bigdata.com plugin tools for every fact.\n\n**Use this skill when** the question is \"what's coming\". Not this skill when:\n\n| Request | Use instead |\n|---------|-------------|\n| What already happened over the past month | Company brief |\n| Deep analysis of the next earnings print | Earnings preview |\n| Probability-weighted outcomes and values | Scenario analysis |\n| Risks rated by likelihood and impact | Risk assessment |\n\n**Catalyst vs risk:** a catalyst is a **dated or datable event** that resolves something. A standing risk with no resolution date belongs in a risk assessment.\n\n## Data foundation (plugin tools)\n\n| Tool | Purpose | Prerequisite |\n|------|---------|--------------|\n| `find_securities` | Resolve company name → RavenPack `entity_id` | None |\n| `bigdata_events_calendar` | Scheduled earnings and conferences | `find_securities` |\n| `bigdata_company_tearsheet` | Baseline financials, estimates, what the price embeds | `find_securities` |\n| `bigdata_search` | Regulatory dates, litigation milestones, product cycles, filings | None |\n\nIf the company name is ambiguous after `find_securities`, ask:\n\n> \"I found multiple companies named [X]. Did you mean [Company A] in [Industry] or [Company B] in [Industry]?\"\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1 — Identify the company\n\nCall `find_securities` with the company name to get the `entity_id`.\n\n### Step 2 — Scheduled events\n\nCall `bigdata_events_calendar` for earnings dates and conferences over the next 2–4 quarters. Note the fiscal calendar so quarter-ends and guidance updates land correctly.\n\n### Step 3 — Baseline: what is already priced\n\nCall `bigdata_company_tearsheet`. A catalyst only matters relative to expectations — capture consensus estimates, current multiples, and sentiment so each catalyst can be framed against what the market already assumes.\n\n### Step 4 — Search for datable events\n\nRun **6–8 targeted searches**:\n\n- \"[Company] upcoming product launch roadmap timeline\"\n- \"[Company] regulatory decision approval date FDA / FTC / EU\"\n- \"[Company] lawsuit trial date court ruling expected\"\n- \"[Company] investor day capital markets day guidance update\"\n- \"[Company] contract renewal expiry major customer\"\n- \"[Company] debt maturity refinancing schedule\"\n- \"[Company] patent expiry exclusivity loss\"\n- \"[Company] index inclusion review lock-up expiry\"\n\nInclude the industry-specific ones that apply — clinical readouts, license renewals, rate cases, spectrum auctions, model launches.\n\n### Step 5 — Rate each catalyst\n\nFor every catalyst record:\n\n- **Date or window** — exact where known, quarter where not; mark undated but expected items as such\n- **Type** — scheduled or foreseeable\n- **Likely direction** — positive / negative / two-sided\n- **Magnitude** — high / medium / low, tied to a value driver where possible (\"~$Nm revenue\", \"~Xbps margin\", \"removes overhang on segment Y\")\n- **Confidence** — how sure the date and the outcome are; these are different, and both matter\n- **What to watch** — the specific signal that tells you which way it resolved\n\n### Step 6 — Rank and sequence\n\nRank by **expected impact**, not chronology — a large two-sided event in nine months usually matters more than a routine print next week. Then give the chronological calendar separately, so the reader gets both views.\n\nClose with the **2–3 catalysts that dominate** the next few quarters and what each would change.\n\n## Output\n\nFollow [assets/report-template.md](./assets/report-template.md) exactly — section order, tables, sources, and footer.\n\n- Add inline citations `[1]`, `[2]` immediately after claims, hyperlinked to the document URL.\n- Every deliverable ends with the **Powered by Bigdata.com** line and the **Disclaimer**, verbatim.\n- Default format is Markdown; offer a Word (.docx) or presentation version if useful.\n\n## Quality bar\n\nNon-negotiables:\n\n- Every catalyst carries a **date or window** — undated speculation is not a catalyst\n- Direction, magnitude, and confidence given separately; date confidence distinguished from outcome confidence\n- Magnitude tied to a value driver, not just labelled \"high\"\n- Ranked by impact **and** listed chronologically\n- Standing risks with no resolution date excluded — they belong in a risk assessment\n- Facts separated from analysis and implications\n"
