Instantly evaluate C-suite ability, detect evasive earnings calls, and uncover the alpha in leadership change — sourced from the people who actually worked with them. US & Europe coverage.
Management assessment still runs on meetings, references, and intuition. ManagementTrack turns decades of executive history and proprietary interviews into structured, comparable management intelligence — built for investors, not executive recruiters.
The largest collection of proprietary transcripts (80,000+) from conversations with high-level former colleagues of executives — past initiatives, strengths, and weaknesses — plus Management Profile Reports mapping each executive's ability to their current company situation. Run by investigative journalists and buy-side analysts.
Real-time analysis of how each CEO's track record and skillset does — or does not — align with the most pressing needs of their company. Built from proprietary memos, interviews, and career-analysis data.
Full-career analysis of 10,000+ public company executives: relative performance against competitors, capital allocation, compensation, incentives, guidance — and real-time flags of insider-transaction outliers.
Language analytics that detect when management evades, deflects, or overqualifies on earnings calls — surfacing hidden weaknesses before they show up in the numbers.
The ManagementTrack Rating (MTR)
The ManagementTrack Rating (MTR) is a 0–10 rating of how much the person in the seat has mattered to company performance - backtested over ten years of executive transitions. View an individual executive's rating, or the full C-suite, to see where leadership is a tailwind or a risk. Updated in near real-time.
Companies flagged with a negative management signal in Heron interviews went on to underperform - with the gap widening every period. Real interviews. Not model-generated scores.
Based on 4,000+ diligence projects conducted 1Q21–2Q24 · Public companies with at least one interview coded negative and one year of subsequent price data · Not investment advice
Double-digit annualized alpha - validated by ValidityBase.
A negative management signal is not just research output. It is a risk-management instrument.
Every earnings-call Q&A, scored for evasion. ManagementTrack flags when management deflects, dodges, or talks around an analyst's question — and surfaces the exact exchange, the topic avoided, and how evasive the call was against the company's own baseline.
Every analyst question classified — answered, partially deflected, or evaded — with the rationale and the verbatim exchange.
Every call benchmarked against the company's own history and its sector, so an unusually evasive quarter stands out immediately.
Evasion scores ship as fields on every call in the library — screen for outliers, chart the trend on a name you hold, or pipe the scores into your own models.
