Hudson Labs sells an analyst agent over US filings and transcripts. That corpus is live. Forensic flags are a model. An S&P consensus number inside the product is a license, and it is not the core.
The row stays now. The corpus is filings and transcripts, which we have. Forensic flags are a model on that text. An S&P consensus number inside the product is a license, and it is not the core. The price pages disagree: 99 dollars a month, 119 dollars a month, and 1,188 dollars a year. Company coverage and assets under management also disagree, and each figure is left as printed.

| What an analyst opens | Hudson Labs sells an AI co-analyst for US public-markets research: catalysts, guidance, operating metrics, fraud and forensic risk, and search over filings.

| The price, and the pages disagree | The pricing page shows Core at 99 dollars a month and 1,188 dollars a year, billed annually, with the words save 2 months, 20 percent off. Schema and the meta description on that page say Core monthly is 119 dollars and annual is 99 dollars a month. The homepage says from 119 dollars monthly. A blog footer says 119 dollars a month, billed monthly. The BamSEC comparison, byline 23 June 2026, says 99 dollars a month, charged annually, and free for the first 2 weeks. A 2024 resources post, updated 12 September 2025, says starts at 100 dollars a month. 1,188 dollars is 99 times 12. A 20 percent discount off 119 dollars is not 99. Institutional is contact sales. A 14-day trial is on the pricing page. | A seat on filings and transcripts can be priced in that range. Their pages are left as printed. | Match |

| Filings and transcripts | The FAQ, byline 23 June 2025, says SEC EDGAR filings. Earnings and conference-call transcripts, decks, and press releases are in the product.

| Forensic flags | Forensic risk is marketed on the products page. The pricing page puts the red flags on Institutional. The scores are theirs. They are not a ratings feed. | A forensic flag on the 10-K, the footnote, and the transcript is a model.

FactSet, PitchBook, expert-call networks, and credit ratings are not named. | An S&P consensus number inside the product is a license, and it is not the core.
