The second number.
Every headline revenue metric has a second number that either confirms it or contradicts it. Public companies disclose both. Most internal reporting shows only the first.
Eight tests. Two figures each. Every threshold is anchored to a filing where a public company disclosed the same gap — so the benchmark is a document you can open, not an opinion.
This page has no backend. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted — the arithmetic runs in your browser and disappears when you close the tab. Leave any test blank to skip it.
What this adds up to
Now run it on the companies doing this to you.
The Check tells you where your own two numbers disagree. The watchlist finds the same gap in the companies you compete with, sell to, or renew against — read out of their filings every Monday, not once when you remember to look.
Or get the filings these thresholds come from.
Ten signals a week, every claim linked to its document. The tests above are last week's issue turned into arithmetic — the newsletter is where the next eight come from.
No card, no call. Your figures above are not sent with this — they never left the page.
Where the thresholds come from
Each test cites one filing. The precedent is not a peer benchmark and is not a claim about what is normal — it is a demonstration that the gap is real, disclosed, and consequential in a company you can look up. Where a threshold is a judgement rather than a disclosed figure, it says so on the test.
The Check tells you where your own two numbers disagree. The benchmark tool tells you where you sit against other companies. Different jobs — run both.
