The questions we get most.

It reads every announcement a company files on the ASX, uses AI to extract any forward-looking event the company has signalled (drilling results, earnings, regulatory decisions, etc.), and plots those expected dates on a single timeline so you can see when each name in your watchlist is likely to move. The platform is purely a data-visualization tool — nothing on it constitutes financial advice.

Calendars are limited to scheduled events like earnings. We surface unscheduled ones too — "assays expected late April", "Phase 3 readout 2H26", "PDUFA decision 7 June" — anything an analyst would highlight from the filing text.

ASX, TSXV, TSX, for everyone. Those are the only exchanges we cover, and we are not going to name others until they work.

Every 30 minutes, for everyone. We re-scan the tickers you have ticked, as long as you have been on the site in the last 45 minutes; tickers you have unticked and accounts that are away pause until you come back.

Two different things, from two different places. Company announcements come from the ASX's own public announcements feed, and Canadian (TSX Venture / TSX) ones from those companies' public news releases. Prices — closing prices, the percentage moves we calculate from them, and the money traded behind them — come from Yahoo Finance, not from the ASX directly.

We grade each catalyst High / Medium / Low and show our reasoning. "High" means the company gave an explicit date. "Medium" is a guided window. "Low" is an inference from cadence.

Each subsequent announcement is re-processed. If the company re-guides, the catalyst on your timeline updates and your armed alerts re-arm to the new fire time.

Yes — every catalyst card has the source filing title, date and a link to the original announcement (the PDF on asx.com.au for ASX listings, or the company news release for Canadian listings).

Nothing. There is no paid plan, no card, and nothing held back for one. Making an account gets you a catalyst timeline of up to 5 companies; the market-wide boards — news flow, movers, market value and the conference boards — are open to anyone, with or without one.

Because reading a company's filings costs us real money the first time. 5 keeps that spend predictable, and everything already read is cached for everybody — so the companies you add are read once and then answer instantly for the next person too.

There is no plan to. If that ever changes we will say so plainly and in advance, rather than quietly moving something you already use behind a wall.

No. Catalyst Ahead is a research tool. It surfaces publicly available data and AI-generated inferences. It does not constitute personal financial product advice.

We do not provide a financial service as defined in the Corporations Act. We are an information / research service. We comply with applicable Australian Consumer Law and Privacy Act obligations.

Authentication and watchlist data live in Google Firebase. Catalyst extractions are cached on our infrastructure. We never sell user data.

Email privacy@catalystahead.com from the address you signed up with. We purge all associated data within 30 days. There is no self-serve delete button yet — we would rather tell you that than point you at a screen that does not have one.

Not yet, and we would rather say so than leave a promise here. The export code exists but no button reaches it, so there is nothing you can press. Email us and we will send you your list.

Not in the sense a fund means it. You can sign in with Google, and that is the only identity provider we support — there is no Microsoft, Okta or SAML option. We would rather say so than let you find out during a procurement review.
