Each call is scored on four measures: trust, credibility, sensitivity to evasive language, and specificity. The research tests each score against the share price move after the call, by score band, and shows how trust and sensitivity move over time for an index or a sector. The EchoDepth CEI, a separate score for how a call is delivered, is reported alongside them.

Questions investors ask

What does EchoSignal do for investors?

EchoSignal scores the language of earnings calls on four measures: trust, credibility, sensitivity to evasive language and specificity. It then tests those scores against the share price move after each call, and tracks how trust moves over time for an index or a sector. The EchoDepth CEI, a separate score for how a call is delivered, is reported alongside them.

Does a low trust score mean a company is lying?

No. A score points to language worth a closer look. It does not prove that anyone is lying, and it should be read alongside the filings, the numbers and professional judgement.

Does EchoSignal predict share prices?

No. EchoSignal does not forecast share prices. Its scores are research output, and the Market page sets out the tests behind them.

Is this investment advice?

No. EchoSignal is research data for analysis. It is not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell any security, and past patterns are no promise of future returns.

Which indexes and periods does it cover?

The Russell 1000 (994 companies and 11,405 earnings calls), the FTSE 100 (89 companies and 528 calls) and the FTSE 250 (109 companies and 315 calls), for calls from October 2023 to October 2026.

Where does the data come from?

Earnings-call transcripts come from a licensed financial data provider. Daily share prices and sector benchmarks come from public price feeds.

Important: EchoSignal highlights linguistic indicators that warrant further enquiry. It does not prove that anyone is lying. Always use results alongside evidence, interviews and professional judgement.
