What changes with Foreflag
A report reads a company as it is today. Risk Rewind reads it over years.
Illustrative timeline · each dot is a dated fact from one category of source · red: a fact that opens a risk
Years, not a quarter
Reporting shows a company as it is presented today. Risk Rewind reads the same company backwards, over several years of filings, court records, prices and press.
Dated at first evidence
Every risk is dated when it first became readable - not when someone noticed it. The oldest open risk is often years old.
One axis, both sides
What the company told you and what the world published sit on the same timeline. The gaps between the two are where the questions are.
What is checked
Everything is checked - the company, every counterparty, every category of data.
Five circles of entities
The company itself
subsidiaries, holding structure, directors and officers, shareholders
Suppliers · Who it depends on
key inputs, sole-source suppliers, input prices
Customers · Who pays it
concentration, distress, delistings, lost disclosure
Lenders · Who it owes
facilities, security interests, covenants, refinancing
Competitors · Who it fights
pricing, capacity, hiring, market share
Twelve categories of data, 200+ sources
Each fact is dated, sourced, tied to the entity it concerns and to the assumption it threatens. The model keeps only the combinations that actually mean trouble - so the report shows a handful of critical signals, not hundreds of alerts.

One engine, before and after the deal
Rewind before you invest. Foreflag keeps watching after.
Risk Rewind and the Foreflag portfolio risk platform share the same AI model and the same sources. What you learn in diligence becomes the thesis Foreflag monitors once you invest.
Before the deal
Risk Rewind
Years of a company's risk in one report, the day the data room opens. Drop early, or dig where it matters.
After the deal
Portfolio Risk SaaS
Continuous monitoring of every investment thesis, flagging the few holdings that need attention before the marks move.
Discover the platform →What Risk Rewind is not.
- not a replacement for legal, tax or financial diligence
- not investment advice: every critical signal ends with a question, and the decision stays yours
- not a verdict on the company: signals support review and must be independently verified.
