In business, timing is everything. Knowing about a customer's financial difficulties, a supplier's management change, or a competitor's expansion before everyone else gives you a critical advantage. Company monitoring makes this possible.

- High - Director changes, charges, late filings (daily digest)
- Medium - Address changes, new filings (weekly summary)
- Low - Routine filings (monthly review)
