As a financial analyst monitoring the Business Development Company (BDC) sector, quarterly earnings season can feel overwhelming. Tracking approximately 25 key metrics across the top ten BDC players means managing about 250 individual data points—a tedious task traditionally involving hours spent sifting through dense earnings presentations.
The Challenge with Traditional Approaches
Manual data extraction is not just time-consuming; it's error-prone. Analysts have historically navigated through countless documents, manually inputting critical figures into Excel spreadsheets. Recent AI solutions promised ease but fell short due to limited context capabilities and cumbersome linear interfaces designed primarily for simple, ad-hoc queries—not structured, systematic analyses.
Imagine trying to maintain a coherent analysis across a 250-question conversation with a traditional AI chat tool. It's a daunting, impractical task.
