# TruthBear Regulatory Filing Company Gauge

> TruthBear Regulatory Filing Company Gauge is a paid API for AI agents from api.truthbear.co, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Runs a 3-leg sequential chain on a public company: NT late-filing notices (distress leading indicator) → 8-K material events graded by item severity → Form 4 insider transactions (confirmation gate), returning a confidence score based on how many legs are lit.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability truthbear-regulatory-filing-company-gauge-2bbe9a6a
```

Example prompt: Pull the TruthBear 3-leg SEC filing chain for AMC — I want to see if there are NT late-filing notices, how the 8-Ks grade out by severity, and whether insider Form 4 transactions confirm any distress signal.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-signal regulatory filing chain for a specific public company — combining NT late-filing distress signals, 8-K severity grading, and Form 4 insider confirmation into a single confidence-scored chain. Prefer this over raw SEC API access when you want pre-graded, sequentially chained signals rather than raw filing dumps. Best used for distress monitoring, pre-decision confirmation checks, or watchlist health sweeps on the supported entity list.

## Known failure modes

- 422 with no_charge when no data is available for the requested entity (not billed)
- Entity ticker not in the supported catalog (18 monitored entities total) — returns an error
- Invalid or missing entity query parameter — schema validation failure
- SEC EDGAR data unavailable or delayed — partial leg results with lower confidence

## How this service works

[3-LEG] Regulatory filing chain, one issuer (?entity=AMC): leading NT late-filing notices, a distress leading indicator -> current 8-K material events graded by item severity -> realized Form 4 insider transactions (confirmation gate). A chain, not one reading: confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: SEC EDGAR. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.25 per call.

## Output

A sequential 3-leg chain result for the specified entity: Leg 1 returns NT late-filing notice data as a leading distress indicator; Leg 2 returns current 8-K material events graded by item severity; Leg 3 returns realized Form 4 insider transactions as a confirmation gate. Confidence is expressed as a count of how many legs are lit in order. If no data is available, returns a 422 no_charge response and is not billed.
