Institutional equity research
From the first screen to the final call, every name is researched to a set standard and kept on the record.
What the job asks of you
A coverage team lives by its calendar: results to preview and review, models to update and notes to publish, across every name it covers.
Earnings season, every quarter
Results arrive in waves, and each one needs a preview, a review and a revised view, often within hours.
Depth and breadth at once
Readers want deep work on the names that matter most and timely coverage of all the rest.
Every claim has to be sourced
Published research is read closely, so each figure and each judgment needs to point back to where it came from.
A working day with Cairn
Cairn runs the research loop for each name, while your analysts direct it, edit it and publish it.
-
Plan the coverage
Industry packs and your own questions set the agenda for each name, so every case file knows what it has to answer.
Research Harness -
Research to the agenda
The Chief of Staff plans each round, and a gate holds every answer to the filing standard.
Research Harness -
Argue it out
An AI challenger argues the other side, and analysts with different frameworks give their stances on the same question.
AI Analyst -
Write it up
At the Pro level, the Harness writes a research paper of three to five pages, bottom line first, and every earnings print adds a one-page update.
Research Harness -
Publish and keep the record
Your analysts edit and publish. Each published version is kept as a PDF, and the case file keeps everything behind it.

How it fits your business
How your business works
A research department is valued for the quality and timeliness of what it publishes, whether readers pay for it or it serves its own firm. Analyst time is the main cost, and too much of it goes into gathering and updating rather than judgment.
| What your business needs | What Cairn changes |
|---|---|
| More coverage per analyst | Agents keep every case file current between prints, so each analyst can carry a wider list at the same standard. |
| Faster turnaround on results | After each print, the questions it touches are reopened and researched again, and the paper gains a one-page update. |
| Research that stands up to scrutiny | Every answer is checked by a gate and cites its sources, so a published claim can be traced back. |
