How Sentinellis works

We're transparent about our pipeline, data sources, and the math behind every score. No black boxes — read what powers every report.

How It Works

End-to-end pipeline: 6 parallel agents, news relevance scoring, financial enrichment, AI synthesis with inline citations.

  • ·News pipeline (6-stage relevance)
  • ·Financials v2 enrichment

  • ·Yahoo Finance (financials, exec)
  • ·NewsData.io (primary news)
