New to investing
Start with the picture. Wide is revenue, narrow is cost, the lake is profit. You will read your first company in minutes, and you will actually understand what you read.
The mission
Understand any public company.
Streamline is built for one thing: turning what a company files with the SEC into a picture a person can understand.
Not a stock picker. Not a trading terminal. A clear view of how a business actually works, for anyone willing to look.
Built for your first filing. Ready for your thousandth.
Been doing this for years
Skip the skim. The shape hands you the report at a glance, and when a figure matters, it traces straight back to the filing it came from.
The record
Five filings, on the record.
Five real annual reports, on file with the SEC. Pick a company and read its recent annual and quarterly reports, one picture each.
Two of its three businesses nearly equal in size, the third far smaller.

Streamline reads what is on the record and draws nothing that is not.
Wide is revenue.
Microsoft's year, to scale. Width is dollars.
Narrow is cost.
Each cut is a cost the company itself disclosed.
The lake is profit.
Lake area is net income. Above the dashed line is a profit.
Below the line is a loss.
Intel's FY2024 at the same scale: the river runs dry, and the lake fills red below the line.
To scale · 1 unit wide is $1B · 1 square unit is $4M · Microsoft FY2026
Same scale · 1 unit wide is $1B · 1 square unit is $4M · Intel FY2024
A year later, a wider river and a bigger lake.
Microsoft as a whole: fiscal 2026 on top, fiscal 2025 below, each drawn from its own annual report.
One scale for both · 1 unit wide is $1B · 1 square unit is $4M
| As filed | FY2026 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $331.839B | $281.724B |
| Net income | $133.749B | $101.832B |
For any company Streamline draws with more than one report on file, you can ask for two of them, one above the other.
In Streamline, these two years open by segment: each of Microsoft's three businesses drawn as its own river.
The standard
Public records, drawn with discipline.
Everything Streamline draws comes from SEC EDGAR, the government's own archive of company filings. If a figure cannot be traced to a filing, it is not drawn. Teaching people to read a business only works when every number is real.
- Source
- 0 archive. SEC EDGAR, the government's own record of every public company. Nothing else feeds the picture.
- Invented figures
- 0 invented. A number that cannot be traced to a filing is not estimated and not drawn. It is left out.
Streamline is in development.
Starting with the technology sector, built carefully and in the open. Accuracy before beauty, education before everything.
You just read Microsoft's year. Net earnings $133.749B, as filed.
