Independent research on the companies building with SI and AR.

SI is Super Intelligence: people plus AI. We read the filings of small public companies building with AI and AR, score each one on forty public factors nobody can buy, and publish what we find: a daily board, a weekly issue signed by a person, and full research reports. Free to read. Nothing to buy.

First Look Today · Monday, November 2, 2026

What moved on our beat today.

Every weekday morning the board reads the companies’ own releases and the week’s headlines, counts each story once, ranks it, and shows what people are searching for and asking. Publishers’ words, linked to the source. Not a view on anything.

The board counts a story once however many outlets carry it, so a company with many outlets on few stories is being talked about, and a company with few outlets on many stories is talking. Both are visible here before anyone writes a word about them. The weekly issue picks up where the counting stops.

What we publish

Three kinds of research. One standard for all of them.

We cover companies building with SI and AR because it is the work our founder’s own companies do, which is also why anything we publish about those companies is labelled related-party. The research is impersonal, published on a regular schedule, and the same for every reader.

Coverage reports

A company explained from its own record: filings, releases, products, management and what it has said it will do next. Updated as the record changes.

From public filings

SI and AR gap analyses

Where a company stands against what SI (people working with AI) and augmented reality now make possible in its industry, what closing the gap would take, and who is already there.

Operator's view

Valuation reviews

How the market prices the story today, with the public comparables and the multiple each one carries laid out side by side. No targets, no ratings, no calls.

Comparables, not predictions
Disclosure as a feature

You can’t buy a better answer here.

A research publisher is only worth reading if you know who paid for what. So we say it on the piece, every time, rather than somewhere else on the site.

Read the full disclosures
Nobody can buy coverage or a score.
No company pays for its coverage or its First Look Score. When a covered company buys labeled IR from us, the relationship and the amount are disclosed on the piece under Securities Act §17(b). “Never paid for coverage” is not the test; consideration received is.
Impersonal, regular, the same for everyone.
Our research is of general and regular circulation. It is not tailored to any reader, not timed to any trade, and never a recommendation. We are not a broker-dealer or a registered investment adviser.
A separate firm, and we say whose relative we are.
First Look Equities is a related party of AIEDGE Holdings, Inc. under common control, not a division of AIEDGE Holdings or of Luxury Marine Life. Anything we publish that touches AIEDGE Holdings or its businesses is labelled as related-party coverage.

The Uncharted Boardroom · 2027

Investment board meetings. On the water.

The research gets you to the right questions. The boardroom is where you ask them face to face: private sessions in Miami aboard a 102′ Leopard, where the companies we cover meet the investors who read us. Charters run through licensed operators. The programme opens in 2027; newsletter readers hear first.

For companies

Coverage can’t be bought. What comes after it can.

Coverage and the First Look Score are free, and buying anything never changes them. We are not charging for anything at this time. Later, covered companies scoring 50 or more may buy labeled investor relations at flat, published prices, and those scoring 60 or more may apply to Timebroker.ai, a related party, for a private SI Evaluation. Every paid piece will say who paid, how much and when.

Who writes this

Written by an operator who has sat on the issuer’s side of the table.

Delray P. Wannemacher founded First Look Equities in 2015. He was previously Founder, Chairman and CEO of Edge Data Solutions (OTC: EDGS), an SEC-reporting company, where he signed the Sarbanes-Oxley certifications himself. Today he is Chairman of the Board of AIEDGE Holdings, Inc. and Founder and Chairman of Luxury Marine Life, the companies whose SI and AR work gives this research its operator’s view, and which is why anything we publish about them is labelled as related-party.

Asked often

Plain answers.

Is the First Look newsletter free?

Yes. The newsletter is free and published on a regular schedule, and membership is free too: verified members earn the private material by contributing, never by paying.

Is this investment advice?

No. First Look Equities publishes impersonal research of general and regular circulation. It is not a broker-dealer or a registered investment adviser, and nothing it publishes is an offer, a solicitation, a recommendation or advice tailored to any reader.

Are you paid by the companies you cover?

Never for coverage or for a First Look Score: no company can buy either, and no covered company has paid First Look Equities for its coverage. Covered companies scoring 50 or more may buy labeled investor-relations services at flat, published prices, never success-based. Whenever an issuer pays us anything, directly or indirectly, the relationship and the amount are disclosed on the piece itself under Securities Act Section 17(b).

What is the First Look Score?

A score from 0 to 100 that every covered company receives, built from public information only against a published method, v2: eight pillars (SI and AR readiness, business quality, liquidity and runway, capital structure and dilution, governance and disclosure, market and position, momentum and attention, investor access), forty factors, a confidence grade and a register of red flags. Each score is dated, versioned, timestamped and never edited or deleted. It is not a rating of any security or a recommendation.

What does SI mean?

SI is Super Intelligence: people plus AI. We use it for our own research, where an analyst works with AI tools and a person signs every piece, and for what we score: how well a company puts its people and AI to work together, alongside augmented reality (AR). The chat desk on this site is the automated part, and it says so.

Do investors pay for First Look Equities?

No. Membership is free for investors, brokers, advisers and company officers. Private reports and briefings are earned by contributing, such as an investment idea, a company referral or a briefing attended, never bought.

What is First Look Equities' relationship to AIEDGE Holdings?

First Look Equities is a separate firm and a related party of AIEDGE Holdings, Inc. under common control. It is not a division of AIEDGE Holdings or of Luxury Marine Life. Any coverage touching AIEDGE Holdings or its businesses is labelled as related-party coverage.

What is The Uncharted Boardroom?

Investment board meetings on the water: private sessions in Miami aboard a 102-foot Leopard, where covered companies meet investors face to face. Charters run through licensed operators. It is the 2027 release.
