Connected Signals
Public filings for the same company, grouped by date: WARN notices, SEC 8-K Items 1.03/2.05 and bankruptcy petitions, refreshed daily. A sequence here shows what was filed and when — each row links to its source — and does not predict what a company will file next. Grouping rules: methodology.
Cross-Dataset Distress Signals
WARN notice + SEC 8-K restructuring + bankruptcy petition on the same company within 90 days = confirmed distress cascade. Fuzzy name matching links filings across agencies with no common identifier.

Frequently asked questions
What is a corporate distress cascade?
WARN Act notice, then SEC 8-K Item 2.05 restructuring disclosure, then Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- often within 30-90 days. WARN Firehose cross-references all three daily.
What is SEC 8-K Item 2.05?
The "Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" disclosure. Filed within 4 business days of a material restructuring plan. Confirms layoffs affect the income statement.
How far in advance does the signal appear?
WARN notices are required 60 days before layoffs. SEC 8-K follows within days to weeks. Bankruptcy arrives 30-90 days later. Full cascade gives 60-90 days of advance visibility.
