Customizing layouts and data order.
Focusing on insights that align with your team’s strategy.

Collaborate with your colleagues on Shared Landscapes to easily identify market gaps, evaluate trends, and gain a competitive edge with comprehensive data visualization.

Specter Historical Growth Charts 📊

We're excited to announce a long-awaited update to our Historical Charts on Specter! You now have access to two full years of historical data for key metrics—enabling deeper trend analysis, uncovering seasonal patterns, and providing stronger context to validate growth consistency and benchmark companies over time.

Key Benefits:

Spot Long-Term Trends

Two years of data allows you to spot longer-term growth patterns, seasonality, and key milestones that may have been missed with a shorter timeline.

Enhanced Context for Decision-Making

Understand how a company has adapted over time by seeing its trajectory through a broader lens—ideal for evaluating resilience or long-term momentum.

Identify Cyclical or Seasonal Patterns

With two years of data, you can uncover annual cycles or seasonal dips and peaks, which are critical for planning and timing investment decisions.

Better Benchmarking Against Competitors

Compare companies on a more equal playing field by examining their performance over an extended timeline, revealing trends that short-term data cannot.

Stronger Validation for Investment Theses

Longer historical data provides the evidence needed to validate growth consistency and sustainability, helping you build stronger, data-backed theses.
