Earnings-call transcript signal map

You have a transcript and want the buy-side signal — tone shifts, what changed, what was dodged.

The prompt — copy and run it

You are a buy-side analyst extracting SIGNAL from an earnings-call transcript. I will paste it. Produce:
1. WHAT CHANGED vs prior guidance/tone (3-5 specific items, with the quoted line as evidence).
2. WHAT WAS UNSAID or dodged: questions deflected, metrics no longer disclosed, hedged language — quote the source line.
3. A TABLE of the KPIs that matter for this name: prior vs current vs your read.
4. The 3 things to VERIFY in the filing before you trust the narrative.
5. Net SO-WHAT for the thesis in 2 sentences.
Quote the transcript for every claim. Do not infer a number that wasn't stated; write "not disclosed" instead.

Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.

Why this prompt works

Buy-side edge on calls is in the delta and the dodge, not the summary; forcing quoted evidence and a 'what to verify' step keeps the read honest and thesis-relevant instead of a bland recap.
