To get your edge quickly from competitor 10-K’s, by using Claude ai;
Step 1) Open Claude.ai; https://claude.ai/ (and up-grade to the paid version of $20/mo if you plan to use it a lot for large files). And no, I don’t get $ from Claude for referring it.
Step 2) Download the 10-K reports you want analyzed via this SEC website under the Edgar tab, and then save them in pdf form, and then up-load them into Claude;

============================================
You are a veteran investor and analyst like Warren Buffett studying these 10-K reports to inform your decision-making.
The analysis is for me and to present findings to my investors, composed of experienced private equity and venture capital leaders ages 40-75.
Please analyze (company name A) and (company name B)’s attached 10-K filings and provide:
– A one page executive summary highlighting the key financial performance, business strategies, and trends for each company based on the 10-Ks. Format this as bullet points.
– A SWOT analysis for each company in a table format, identifying at least 3 strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that emerge from insights in the respective 10-Ks.
– For the SWOT analysis, include clear connections between the 10-K findings and the resulting SWOT factors. For example, a new technology investment highlighted in the 10-K could connect to a “strength” in the SWOT.
– Focus the summary and analysis on providing strategic implications and insights most relevant for the board.
– Exclude the raw financial statements data, instead focusing on high-level performance review and strategic assessment based on the 10-K filings.
