Affinda Signal

Find the gaps before the market does

AI agents and trading algorithms read your results announcement in seconds and act on what they find, before an analyst reaches page two. Affinda Signal shows your board and CFO how the market will read it, before you lodge.
Checking a draft the way the market will read it A presenter stands beside a draft on a flipchart. A lens reads it line by line and marks each line with a green up arrow. One line gets a red down arrow and a flag; it is rewritten and its arrow turns green.
Why it matters

The share price moves on what AI reads

For a listed company, AI now reads the results announcement before analysts and investors do.
  1. 1

    AI extracts the figures and tone

    Trading algorithms and AI tools parse your announcement as soon as it’s released, pulling out the figures and comparing them with your guidance.

  2. 2

    Gaps and ambiguity get misread

    These tools read exactly what’s on the page, so a headline figure shown only in a graphic can be missed, and wording that doesn’t match the result can be read the wrong way.

  3. 3

    The market acts before your call

    Data feeds and trades built on that read reach investors before your results call, and a correction after the fact rarely gets the same attention.

In practice

  2. 2How AI interprets it

    $471.2m
    FY26 guidance, Feb 2026
    $485m–$505m
    Against guidance
    −$13.8m, 2.8% below the range
    Tone of wording
    Positive

    Wording and numbers disagree

  3. 3What Affinda Signal gives you

    High severity

What it checks

What every review checks

  • Consistency

    Does it agree with itself, your accounts and your earlier announcements?

  • Market expectations

    How does each result compare with your guidance and with consensus?

  • Narrative

    Is each main claim supported by a disclosed number?

  • Completeness

    Does it give investors what they need to assess the result?

  • Clarity

    Is the meaning clear on a first read?

  • Ambiguity

    Could investors reach different conclusions from the same words?

  • Machine readability

    Can software extract every figure and label correctly?

  • Exchange queries

    Is anything likely to prompt a query from the exchange?

How it works

Ranked findings before you lodge

Affinda Signal works alongside your existing verification and sign-off process.
  1. 1

    Add your draft

    Add your draft announcement and the documents that go with it, such as the financial report and investor presentation, with broker research and call script for optional additional context.

  2. 2

    The review runs

    AI agents read the draft against your prior disclosures and the market context, reconcile the figures and test how the market will read it.

  3. 3

    Act on the findings

    Your team gets ranked findings with evidence, reconciled figures and the questions analysts are likely to ask, with time to fix them before you lodge.

For the board and audit and risk committee

An independent pre-release review, with evidence for each finding and a clear record of how AI was used.

For the CFO and investor relations

Every figure reconciled against the accounts and the presentation, and the likely analyst questions before the call.
