About Calcbench, Inc.tm
Calcbench is one of the first companies to fully harness the power of the new, government mandated data standard called XBRL.
This gives us an unprecedented direct line into the SEC’s corporate financial data repository.
→ Result: we are able to provide data with a whole new level of detail, faster, and at a much better value.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a ‘machine readable’ format for financial reporting. All significant facts within a quarterly or annual report are assigned a standardized tag for input into a computing process. Since 2011 XBRL has been mandated for use by all U.S. public companies by the SEC.
OPPORTUNITY: Priceless data being created, BUT extremely complicated to decipher.
