For professionals who monitor public-company filings for work
The filings that match a signal you name, each with its source and what it leaves unknown
Son of a Banker lists public-company filings that match a named signal, such as a finance chief or chief executive leaving. Each row carries the filing date, the source, what was found and what the filing does not say.

The companies and filings in it are invented. They are not real companies or real filings.

Where it stands
- The signal form and the list page work. The companies and filings in them are invented to test the software.
- We measured one real week of filings to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, 5 to 9 October 2026. Of 907 Form 8-K filings, 216 carried an item code we watch, and the regulator's free feed already prints that code.
- In a sample of 58 of that week's officer-change filings, reading the text found a finance chief or chief executive leaving in 13. The reading was done by software, and no person has checked it.
- The list does not update itself and nothing is sent to you. An alert needs both, and neither is built.
- No professional has been asked whether this is useful. Nothing is for sale, there are no customers, and none of this is advice to buy, sell or hold anything.

How the list is made
- Name a signal
- Two are covered: a finance chief or chief executive leaving, and a change of auditor. For any other signal no filing has been read, so nothing is shown.
- Add a watchlist if you have one
- Company names or codes. A name that is not in the records is reported as not in the records, which is not the same as nothing filed.
- Read the list
- Matching filings, newest first. Filings the reading could not decide on are listed apart and are not counted as matches.
- Check a miss
- Ask for everything that was read, and the list adds the filings that did not count, with the reason.
What the list covers and what it leaves out
Unknown means the filing does not say. It does not mean no. A filing that has been amended is replaced on the list by its amendment.
The list covers the dates printed on it and nothing after them. It does not update itself, and nothing is sent to you.
What it is not
It is a record of filings. It is not advice to buy, sell or hold anything, and it recommends nothing about any company.
The name claims no credentials in banking or investment.
