Technical reference for People Studio — executive intelligence platform.

Platform Overview

People Studio is an executive intelligence platform for tracking industrial executives, directors, and key personnel across US-listed companies. It ingests SEC Form 4 insider trade filings to build a real-time picture of who is active, what roles they hold, and where they're moving. The platform is designed for deal teams, PE analysts, and strategic researchers who need to understand the human layer of a company — not just the financial signals.
