Overview

Financial institutions often struggle to produce research reports that are consistent in precision, depth of reasoning, and output format. After key financial events, teams face intense time pressure and fragmented workflows, which leads to uneven quality, inconsistent structure, and delayed coverage. The Bigdata Financial Research Analyst skills solve this by guiding an LLM through a repeatable research-and-writing process, while the Bigdata MCP tools provide direct access to Bigdata premium content for sourcing, validation, and contextual analysis. ✅ Reports can be generated quickly, at scale, and in a standardized format across the full portfolio. Use it when you need assistance to:
  • Company Briefs - Generate detailed company profiles and summaries
  • Earnings Previews - Prepare ahead of earnings announcements with analyst expectations and key metrics
  • Earnings Digests - Summarize earnings calls and financial results
  • Risk Assessments - Evaluate potential risks and market exposure
You can fork the GitHub repository and customize the workflows and output format to match your company standards.
