Collectively with existing board members, the advisory board will serve as a strategic resource to THEIA's leadership team, helping ensure that the Company remains agile, focused, and visionary in its approach to disclosure intelligence. From capital markets to compliance to enterprise technology, the new advisors bring cross-disciplinary expertise that will inform both product development and broader organizational growth.

About THEIA Analytics Group

THEIA is an AI-powered disclosure intelligence company whose proprietary, purpose-built engine gives investment and oversight professionals an untapped performance edge by unlocking signals hidden in the impenetrable language of public filings.

THEIA's flagship RRX™ platform is a first-of-its-kind, AI-powered risk disclosure intelligence product built to give investment and governance professionals unprecedented visibility into the hidden business performance threats of U.S.-listed companies. At its core is the Risk Quotient (RQ): a single, powerful metric for 5,700 public organizations. RQ is derived from the vast, nuanced, ever-changing—and untapped—qualitative text embedded in more than 15 years of official SEC documents. Powered by THEIA’s proprietary, purpose-built machine-learning and natural-language-processing engines, RQ decodes forward-looking risk signals buried in subtle language choices, shifts, and patterns, unlocking critical—but too-often impenetrable—insights into executives’ operational concerns. Every new disclosure updates a company’s true, relative risk profile and highlights significant divergences from market perceptions. Paired with dynamic charting and the Ask THEIA agentic tool, RRX enables precision RQ tracking and sector-level benchmarking and deep analysis into the drivers behind each RQ change.
