AI Analyst Beta User Reference Guide & Frequently Asked Questions

Access requires an active RetailStat subscription with AI Analyst (Beta) enabled. Users can go directly to ai-beta.retailstat.com, or sign in at retailstat.com, navigate to "Your Products," and select RetailStat AI.

During the beta phase, financial coverage includes 5+ years of company-level financial data and 2+ years of analyst reporting, including ARMS data (APS scores, aging buckets, and credit history) and CRA reports. Store trends, location data, and portfolio-level analysis are not yet supported.

Ask one clear, specific question at a time focused on a single company, topic, or metric. Be specific about timeframe and metrics, use follow-up questions to drill deeper, and validate findings before making formal credit or investment decisions, since the tool is designed to enhance analysis, not replace due diligence.

Responses are generated exclusively from RetailStat's validated, proprietary datasets and analyst-produced written analysis — not public search engines or third-party sources. Since the tool is in beta, users should still validate findings through their standard credit, underwriting, or investment review processes.
