ProxyMiner
Pulls executive pay disclosures from SEC proxy filings into a searchable workflow for peer benchmarks and governance research.
The problem
Proxy research is slow. Teams that need to compare executive pay practices, surface governance signals, and find source-grounded examples lose hours digging through CD&A sections, summary compensation tables, and pay-versus-performance disclosures one filing at a time.
Who it's for
Executive compensation, Total Rewards, governance, and research teams working across public company SEC proxy filings.
Why I built it
Proxy review is valuable work, but too much of it is still tedious excavation. The filings already exist on EDGAR. The job is to make the useful parts faster to find, compare, and cite back to source.
Practitioner review guide
Run an actual proxy-research question through the beta. The point is whether ProxyMiner shortens the distance from a public SEC filing to a source-cited finding on executive pay, peer benchmarks, or governance signals.
- Search a company you already know well (for example, NVDA, AAPL, or MSFT). Does what comes back match what you would expect from that proxy?
- Open a single company page and read its disclosures end to end. Is the structure clear enough that you could pull a quote into a peer-benchmark memo?
- Compare two or three companies side by side. Are the differences in plan design, pay mix, and governance practices easier to see than they would be flipping through EDGAR by hand?
- Inspect the SEC source links on a few claims. Do they take you back to the underlying filing so a quote feels defensible and shareable?
- Try a company whose import is temporarily unavailable. Is the degraded state honest about what is missing, or does it silently return nothing?
- If Ask or BYOK is available in your beta cohort, run one question through it. Are the answers grounded in filings you can see, or are they making claims you cannot trace back to source?
ProxyMiner is filing-first. It surfaces what public companies disclose to the SEC. It is not investment advice, legal advice, or compensation advice. The read-only cohort is fully available and the source-grounded filing workflow runs end to end. New SEC imports can still be limited by normal SEC and platform availability, so a given company may not always be ready the moment you ask for it.
