Frequently Asked Questions

The AxonIR Score is a 0–100 score (graded A+ to F) measuring how algorithmically readable a public company's SEC filings are, across four components — Filing Volume, Compliance, IR Gap, and Momentum. A higher score means institutional parsing algorithms (Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) can detect and act on your filings more easily. It measures IR communication quality, not investment merit, and is not investment advice.

Traditional IR firms charge roughly $8,000–$25,000/month for human relationship work — analyst targeting, roadshows, PR. AxonIR automates the mechanical 80% of IR (filing scoring, compliance monitoring, signal tracking, automated reporting) as self-serve software from $500/month — about 90% lower cost. It complements an IR firm; it doesn't replace human relationship-building. See our comparison page.

Founding Partner rates (first 20 companies, locked forever): SPAC Starter $500/mo, Micro Cap $999/mo, IR Pro $2,450/mo. Standard rates apply from Q3 2026. Enterprise/white-label from $8,500/mo. No setup fee; month-to-month. See pricing and the ROI calculator.

Yes. There's a SPAC Starter tier and a 180-day de-SPAC IR playbook to rebuild institutional visibility after a business combination, when algorithms re-evaluate the company as a new entity. See IR for SPACs.

AxonIR aggregates publicly available data from nine sources: SEC EDGAR, yFinance, StockTwits, Reddit, Benzinga, GlobeNewswire, PRNewswire, BusinessWire, and EIN Presswire. All filing data comes directly from SEC EDGAR.

Yes. The free AxonIR Score scores any SEC-listed company in ~30 seconds with no signup. The Filing Optimizer and Reg FD Risk Checker are free too. A free account adds a dashboard, weekly digest, and compliance alerts for one ticker.

U.S.-listed micro-cap and nano-cap companies (roughly $25M–$1B market cap) on Nasdaq and NYSE, post-de-SPAC companies, and SPACs — the underserved companies that need IR but can't justify a traditional firm's retainer. See IR for micro-caps.
