One feed vs one verdict

Quiver's design goal is range: if a public dataset might move a stock, it belongs in the feed, from lobbying and contracts to patents and app ratings. The cost of range is that each dataset arrives as its own dashboard: Congress in one tab, lobbying in another, 13F holdings in a third, summed up by a 1 to 10 Smart Score per stock. HoldingsIntel inverts that trade. Four public-disclosure sources (institutional, insider, activist, congressional) resolve into a single 0–100 read per stock, with the weights published. When a senator and three focused funds buy the same name in the same quarter, that shows up here as one number, not four tabs.

Switching from Quiver Quantitative

Keep what you use. Gain the answer.

Coming from Quiver, you keep the congressional trades, insider filings and 13F holdings you follow, and gain the cross-check: each trade beside what institutions, insiders and activists did on the same stock, in one Verdict, from $19 a month.

Questions investors ask

Quiver already tracks Congress — what does HoldingsIntel add on top?

Two layers. First, a same-dates benchmark: each buy from a member's last full calendar year is measured against SPY from its trade date to year-end, weighted by trade size, so a flattering raw return can't hide an index-lagging record. Second, context: each congressional trade sits next to what the largest institutional managers, corporate insiders and activists filed on the same stock, netted into a single score. Quiver shows the trade and its excess return; HoldingsIntel shows whether funds, insiders and activists agree with it.

Is Quiver Quantitative's 13F coverage a substitute for HoldingsIntel's?

Both platforms carry 13F holdings, but they do different work with them. HoldingsIntel makes the 13F record central: fund buys across 563 managers are scored 0–100, its 90+ scores carry a public track record, and other disclosure sources are checked on the same stock.

Do Quiver Quantitative and HoldingsIntel overlap enough that running both is wasteful?

Both carry congressional trades, insider trades, 13D and 13F filings, REST APIs and MCP tools. HoldingsIntel goes deeper on the ownership record: every buy scored for conviction and four disclosure sources resolved into one Verdict per stock, free to start.
