Read the business, not the ticker.
A research dossier on every ASX company — facts, attributed and dated, organised around the ten questions a value investor asks.
The problem
Two hundred pages, twenty numbers
An annual report runs two hundred pages. The numbers a value investor needs from it fit on an index card.
Multiply that reading by two results seasons, a quarterly or two, and every company on a watchlist, and honest research becomes a second job. Most investors skim, or surrender the judgement to somebody else’s score.
Filings have a second defect: they do not remember. What management promised in August appears nowhere in the report that discloses what happened by June. The most useful fact about a company, whether its word is good, has to be reassembled by hand from years of documents.
SpotValue does that work. It reads every filing, keeps the thread, and presents the result as a dossier a person can sit down and read.
The Ledger
Do they do what they say?
The Promise Tracker records every measurable commitment management makes: guidance, capex, milestones, capital returns. When the outcome is reported, each promise is marked hit, missed, partial, or reframed.
A promise enters the ledger with its statement, its date, and the filing it came from. When the outcome is disclosed, the verdict is arithmetic: the target stated against the result reported. Silence after a due date is recorded as a miss, not a free pass.
| Date stated | Promise | Verdict | Citation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-08-22 | FY25 production guidance 19–21 Mt ROM | ✓ | 4E 2025-08-21 |
| An illustrative entry. In a published dossier, every row links to the filings it came from. | |||

Outlook & Catalysts
The premise
We show. You decide.
Facts over opinions
Everything on a dossier comes from company disclosures or market data, attributed and dated. No scores, no ratings, no buy or sell.
Accountability over hype
Every forecast management puts on the record becomes a ledger entry, marked against the outcome when the company reports it. The ledger does not forget.
Interactive over analytical
A dossier is explored the way one walks a factory floor: click the assets, scrub through the years, read what was said last year beside what was delivered.
SpotValue also declines to be several profitable things: a screener, a tipsheet, a broker, a valuation engine. The refusals are listed in full, with reasons →
