Transparency
Data Sources
ImpliedLens labels the providers and calculations behind its research surfaces. Here is where the data comes from and how it is used.
Supplies price history, OHLCV bars, quote context, market benchmarks, movers, and the primary screener universe. Timing can vary by exchange, instrument, market session, endpoint, and cache state. Missing fields remain unavailable rather than being inferred.
Freshness: Show the observation timestamp returned by the provider when available. Do not describe Yahoo responses as a direct or guaranteed real-time exchange feed.

Supplies supplemental quotes and company profiles plus news, estimates, price targets, recommendations, metrics, earnings, transcripts, and ownership data. Coverage and update timing vary by dataset and account entitlement. A configured FINNHUB_KEY is required for the production integration.
Freshness: Use a provider-supplied effective date when present; otherwise show retrieval time and state that the dataset follows Finnhub's schedule.

Supplies the authoritative ticker-to-CIK map, issuer-filed XBRL company facts, filing history, and links to original filings. These are issuer-reported filings and facts. Amendments, restatements, taxonomy differences, and reporting lags can affect comparability; critical figures should be checked against the original filing.
Freshness: Retain the filing date for each reported fact. Retrieval time does not replace the reporting period or filing date.

Supplies weekly OTC share-volume, trade-count, and notional aggregates used in the institutional research surface. The route's legacy name is not a description of the data. FINRA weekly OTC aggregates are not venue-level dark-pool order flow and are not a live short-interest feed.
Freshness: Label the covered week and describe the result as delayed, aggregated OTC activity.

Supplies daily historical prices only when the primary Yahoo chart and download paths do not return usable history. Stooq is a conditional fallback, not the primary quote provider. The application may supplement its last daily close with separately attributed Finnhub quote context.
Freshness: Identify Stooq as a fallback and show the latest completed daily observation; do not present it as an intraday or real-time quote.

Data Freshness and Delays
Timing varies by provider, exchange, instrument, and market session. ImpliedLens displays the provider observation time when available and identifies fallback sources; it does not infer a guaranteed delay from the chart interval. Daily OHLCV history reflects the provider's latest completed observation. Analyst estimates and institutional ownership update on their providers' schedules, and FINRA OTC data is published on a delayed basis.
Reported, Derived, and Modeled Data
ImpliedLens separates provider-supplied observations from derived calculations and user-controlled models. Reported figures come from connected providers or SEC filings. Ratios, indicators, projections, intrinsic-value estimates, and wealth scenarios are calculations whose reliability depends on their inputs and assumptions. Missing provider fields are shown as unavailable rather than silently invented.
LensScore Calibration Status
LensSetup has a preliminary no-lookahead walk-forward diagnostic across 525 observations and 15 liquid U.S. symbols. Current separation is positive but weak, so no historical-performance claim is made. LensValue and Golden Lens require broader point-in-time fundamental and estimate history before performance claims are allowed. The production interface exposes model version, confidence, inputs, source dates, and missing-data status. View the current machine-readable diagnostic.
Important: Data accuracy depends on the upstream providers. ImpliedLens is not responsible for errors, delays, or omissions in data supplied by Yahoo Finance, Finnhub, SEC EDGAR, FINRA OTC Transparency, Stooq. Always verify critical figures against primary sources before making investment decisions.
Screener Data
The stock screener evaluates a curated universe of widely followed companies using current quotes and company metrics, then filters and sorts the results server-side. Results reflect the latest data available from upstream providers and may not capture every intraday move.
Market Overview and Movers
The homepage market overview requests current index and market-benchmark quotes through the same resilient quote pipeline used elsewhere in ImpliedLens. Preview market data does not count toward the daily analysis limit.
