YUKKA
Cockpit Guide
This guide is here to help you find your way around the Cockpit — whether you're looking for a specific feature, exploring the navigation, or checking the glossary.
Quick Start
This manual covers every feature in the Cockpit. If you are new, follow these four steps to get your first insights up and running.
1 — Create a Portfolio
Go to Portfolio in the left sidebar and click +. Add companies by name, ISIN, or D-U-N-S number. Once created, you are automatically in Scan view — your companies ranked by sentiment score with delta changes and article volumes, giving you an instant risk overview without reading any news.
2 — Set your Score
Click ScoreAI in the left sidebar — it's always there to switch at any time. Choose from YUKKA's ready-made signals — Sentiment, Credit Risk, ESG Risk, Immediate Risk, and more — or build a custom score by weighting your own events. Your entire portfolio is ranked by whichever signal you select.
3 — Set your filters
Use the filter bar at the top to set your timeframe, language, and news categories. Save the filter so it persists across sessions.
4 — Download a Report
Click any company in your portfolio to open the Company View. From the top-right panel, download two ready-made PDF reports:
Score Report — sentiment trends, peer benchmarks, and risk score summary.
Credit Due Diligence — key risk events ranked by severity, credit risk score, and supporting news.
Use the left sidebar to jump to any section. If you need a term explained, the Glossary at the bottom covers all scores and concepts used in the platform.
Risk Scores and Risk Events
The Risk Score is YUKKA's proprietary composite signal that distils the risk content of news coverage into a single 0–10 score. A higher score means more risk-relevant events detected in recent media coverage.
Score Scale
Risk Event Types (Examples)
The Risk Score is driven by detected risk events in the media. Key event types include:
Lawsuit
Legal proceedings, court cases, regulatory investigations
Sales Volume Decrease
Reports of declining sales, lost contracts, market share loss
Restructure/Job Cuts
Layoffs, restructuring programmes, cost-cutting announcements
C-Level Departure
CEO, CFO, or other executive resignations or unexpected exits
Profit Warning
Companies signalling earnings will miss expectations
Supply Chain Problems
Disruptions to supply, delivery failures, sourcing issues
The Risk Score is a media-derived signal, not a fundamental financial metric. It captures what's being reported in the news, which often leads or lags financial outcomes. Use it alongside your own research and financial data for best results.
Report Button
In the portfolio Scan view, you'll see a Report button at the top right of the ranking table. Click this to generate a structured AI-assisted portfolio report summarising key risk movements across your entire watchlist.
Reading Articles
Click any article headline to open the article reader. YUKKA enriches every article with structured annotations.
Article Reader Anatomy
| Element | Description |
|---|---|

Article Actions
Copy Link
Copy a direct link to this article inside the YUKKA platform to share with a colleague who also has access.
Dismiss
Hide articles that are not relevant to your work. Dismissed articles are removed from your feed but accessible in the Dismissed tab.
Bookmark
Save an article to your Bookmarked list to retrieve it later or include it in a newsletter.
Annotate
Add a comment to an article that appears as an annotation on the timeline chart. Useful for correlating news with internal decisions.
Report Wrong Sentiment

Navigating articles: Use the ◁ ▷ arrows in the article reader header to go to the previous or next article in your current list without closing the reader.
Search & AI Search
The search bar at the top of the screen is your quickest way to look up any entity. There are two ways to search — a standard search and an AI-powered one.
Standard Search
Type directly into the search bar. Results appear as you type and support:
Company name
e.g. "Novo Nordisk", "Volkswagen", "BBVA"
ISIN
International Securities Identification Number
D-U-N-S Number
Dun & Bradstreet unique company identifier
Countries & Topics
e.g. "Germany", "ESG", "Semiconductors"
Type a company name, ISIN, or D-U-N-S number into the search bar at the top — results appear instantly as you type. Select the entity from the dropdown to open its full Company View.
AI Automated Search BETA
If the entity you need isn't found in standard search, use AI Automated Search to build a custom keyword-based query for it. It is designed for companies not yet in the YUKKA database — you provide the details, AI generates a tailored query you can save as a Collection.
AI Search requires the exact company name, website, and country to generate its parameters. Because results rely on news keyword matching, coverage may not always be accurate enough for your needs. If you have a list of entities you would like added with full metadata for more precise tracking, reach out to us directly — our team will handle it for you.
How to add a company — step by step
Follow each screen in order from first click to saved query.
Select Company for any public, private or government entity, then click Continue.
Type the exact legal name. If the company exists in the database it appears as a suggestion — otherwise choose "Set as new company".
Enter the company's website and country — required for AI to generate accurate parameters.
AI pre-fills sector, city, CEO, and name variants. Review and correct any details, then click Generate AI Search.
Review every generated keyword before running. Remove overly generic terms — see note below.
Always review keywords for noise before searching. AI generates name variants automatically, but short or common terms can pull in unrelated news. For example, "Mih" alone may match any article containing that string, and "Apple" would return fruit-related news alongside tech coverage. Click the − icon on the right of any term to remove it from the query. Keeping only specific, unambiguous keywords will produce far cleaner results.
Still can't find it? You can request a single company or upload an Excel file for bulk requests. YUKKA's data team will add it, usually within a few business days.
Saving a Company to a Collection
Once you have found and verified a company through AI Search, you can save it directly from the results view. Click the Save button to open a dropdown with two options:
- Add to existing collection — adds the company to one of your previously saved collections
- Add to new collection — creates a new collection with this company as the first entry
To view and manage your saved collections, click the Collection icon in the left navigation bar.
Filters
Filters control which news articles are included in your analysis across all views. Click the filter strip in the top bar to open the full filter panel.
| Filter | Options | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Saved Filters | Default, Business News, Bus. News Quant, Bus. News 2, Rel News | Apply a pre-configured filter profile in one click. Star a filter to set it as your default. |
| Timeframe | Today · 24h · Week · Month · Quarter · 6 months · Year · Custom | Control the date range of articles shown. Use "Custom" to set any start/end date. |
| Sentiment | Positive · Neutral · Negative | Filter to only see articles with a specific sentiment. Leave all selected for a complete picture. |
| Language | English · German BETA Chinese · Russian · Italian · French · Spanish · Arabic |
Limit analysis to specific language sources. English and German are fully supported; Chinese through Arabic are BETA. Essential for regional monitoring. |
| Sources Location | Search by country / region or select a Sources Panel (e.g. Quant) | Focus on geographically relevant media or curated source lists. |
| Categories | Arts & Entertainment · Corporate Actions · Corporate Credit Ratings · ESG-related · Energy · and many more | Narrow to specific content categories relevant to your use case. |
| Events | Analyst Recommendations · C-Level Change · Climate Change · Cybersecurity · Lawsuits · Product Launch · and 150+ more | Only show articles that contain specific detected business events. |
| Factuality | Factual · Probable · Possible | Filter by the certainty of the reported information. |
| Temporality | Past · Present · Future | Show only articles reporting on past events, current developments, or forward-looking statements. |
Saving & Setting Default Filters
Once you've configured a useful filter combination, click Save Filter to store it for quick reuse. Click the star icon next to any saved filter to make it your default — it will automatically apply whenever you log in.
Pro tip: Create different saved filters for different workflows. For example: one filter for "Today, English + German, Factual only" for your morning routine, and another for "Week, all languages, Custom Events" for deeper research sessions.
Portfolios
A Portfolio is your primary workspace for continuous monitoring. It holds a list of entities (companies, countries, currencies, sectors) that you want to track together. All analysis views — Scan, News, Charts — apply to your active portfolio.
When to use a Portfolio vs. a Collection: Use a Portfolio when you're monitoring named entities from the YUKKA database (e.g. specific public companies). Use a Collection when you need advanced queries combining keywords, events, and boolean operators across topics.
Adding Companies to a Portfolio
Click the + icon at the top of the Portfolio panel to add companies to your watchlist. There are three ways to do this:
Option 1 — Create from scratch: Click + → Create. Give your portfolio a name, then use the search bar inside the portfolio to find and add entities one by one. You can search by company name, ISIN, or D-U-N-S number.
Option 2 — Import by ISIN list: Click + → Import → ISINs list. Paste your full list of ISIN codes directly into the field. This is the fastest way to upload an existing watchlist in bulk.
Option 3 — Import from file: Click + → Import → Portfolios (from files). Upload a .json file containing your portfolio. You can create this file yourself or request one from YUKKA with the exact entity metadata pre-configured for accurate coverage.
After adding an entity, the Scan view shows the Sentiment Ranking, Sentiment Events, and Trend chart. You can continue adding companies by clicking plus on the left bottom, typing a name, ISIN, or D-U-N-S number into the portfolio search bar — the matching company appears instantly.
What can you add to a Portfolio?
Companies
Any company tracked in the YUKKA database — search by name, ISIN, or D-U-N-S
Countries
e.g. Germany, United States, China — for macro monitoring
Currencies
e.g. EUR/USD for FX-related news
Topics
e.g. ESG, Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors
Sectors
Entire industries and sub-sectors from the YUKKA taxonomy
People
Individual executives, politicians, or public figures tracked in the YUKKA database
Managing Portfolios
You can create multiple portfolios — each appears as a tab in the portfolio tab bar. To manage a portfolio (rename, delete, add/remove entities), click the edit icon next to the portfolio name. At the bottom of the entity list you'll find an Add Company button to add more entities at any time.
When in Portfolio mode, a horizontal tab bar below the top bar shows all your portfolios. Click any tab to switch portfolios. Use + to create a new one, and the ◁ ▷ arrows to scroll through many portfolios.
Collections
Collections allow you to define advanced boolean searches combining free text, ontology entities, events, and news sources — all within a single named workspace. Each collection contains one or more Queries.
Creating a Collection
Click the Collections icon
It's the grid icon in the News section of the left sidebar.
Click "+" to create a new collection
Name your collection (e.g. "ESG Controversies" or "Robotics Product Launches").
Click "Create a Query" to add your first query
A query is an advanced search combining multiple criteria.
Build your query using the query builder
Combine keywords, entities, and events using AND / OR / NOT / NEAR operators.
Query Builder — What you can combine
| Component | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Keywords (free text) | Any word or phrase. YUKKA searches article text. | "battery technology" |
| Company | Specific company from the ontology | Volkswagen AG |
| Country | Filter articles by geographic scope | Germany |
| Topic | YUKKA topic categories | Robotics, ESG |
| Sector / Sub-sector | ICB-aligned industry classification | Pharmaceuticals |
| Event | Detected business event type | Product Launch, Strategic Alliance |
| Article Source | Filter to specific news sources | Reuters, Bloomberg |
Boolean Operators
AND
Both criteria must be present in the article. Narrows results.
OR
Either criterion can be present. Broadens results.
NOT
Excludes articles containing the criterion.
NEAR
Both terms must appear close together in the text.
Example query: Robotics (Topic) AND Product Launch (Event) OR Strategic Alliance (Event) → Returns articles about robotic companies announcing product launches or forming alliances.
Managing Queries
A single collection can hold multiple queries — each appears as a named tab inside the collection. You can Duplicate a query and edit it (useful when building variations of similar searches), and Export queries to share them or back them up. Use Import to load a saved query file.
Editing a Collection
When you are inside a collection you created, an Edit icon (a teal grid icon with a pencil) appears at the top of the collection page. Click it to open the collection editor, where you can rename the collection, add or remove queries, and modify query criteria and boolean logic. This icon is only visible on collections you own — it will not appear on shared or read-only collections.
News Assistant (AI Chat)
The News Assistant (Chat) is an AI-powered chat interface that lets you query your news data in natural language. Access it via the chat icon in the News section of the left sidebar.
What you can ask
The assistant understands natural language. Here are some prompts you can copy and paste directly:
Past Conversations
The left panel of the News Assistant shows your conversation history. Click any past chat to continue or review it. Use New Chat to start a fresh session.
The News Assistant works best when combined with your active portfolio and filter settings. Set your filters before opening the assistant to ensure it queries the most relevant data for your task.
Signals
The Signals module provides YUKKA's Early Warning indicators — sentiment-driven models that recommend when to be invested in a market and when to step back. Each signal continuously evaluates news sentiment around an index or currency pair and translates it into a clear in-market / out-of-market recommendation. Signals are updated weekly.
Available Signals
Select a signal from the left panel to update the chart and performance figures. Available models include Early Warning (STOXX 600) for European equities, Early Warning (S&P 500) for US equities, and FX models for EUR/USD and GBP/EUR.
Performance Comparison
Two headline figures summarise the selected signal's track record over the chosen time range:
| Figure | What it means |
|---|---|
| InvestLab | Cumulative return achieved by following the signal — moving in and out of the market according to the model's recommendations. |
| Index | Cumulative return of simply holding the underlying index over the same period (buy-and-hold benchmark). |
Reading the Chart
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green line | InvestLab strategy — cumulative performance from following Early Warning recommendations. |
| Grey area | Underlying index (buy-and-hold benchmark). |
| Orange bands | Risk-off periods — the model flagged elevated risk and recommended reducing or exiting exposure. |
| Teal area (lower chart) | Recommended investment ratio over time. Full height = fully invested (ratio 1); collapsing toward baseline = model recommended pulling back. |
Current Investment Ratio
The live recommendation for market exposure, expressed as a percentage. 100% means the model recommends being fully invested; a lower value indicates the model has turned cautious and recommends reducing exposure.
Time Range Controls
Use the YTD / 1Y / 3Y / 5Y / All buttons at the top of the chart to adjust the performance window. The active date range is shown in the top-right corner of the chart.
Trending Board
The Trending Board (accessible via the Signals / Trending icons in the Invest section of the left sidebar) lets you discover the top 100 companies from a universe of 45,000+ listed entities, ranked across multiple signals.
How to Use It
Filter the universe
Use the dropdown filters at the top: Countries, Indices (e.g. STOXX 600), and Industries to narrow the universe.
Select a sort signal
Click any column header to sort by that signal (e.g. sort by ESGR to find the worst ESG risk performers).
Filter by Events
Use the Events dropdown to show only companies where a specific event was recently detected.
Use the Trending Board as a screening tool: sort by ESGR to build an ESG controversy watchlist, or sort by GR to find companies with sudden risk spikes across the entire investable universe — without having to pre-define a portfolio.
Scan View — Ranking Overview
The Scan view is the default view for a portfolio. It displays all entities in a sortable table, giving you an instant overview of risk, sentiment, and news volume across your entire watchlist.
Customising Visible Columns
Click the ⋮ (three-dot) icon at the top right of the Sentiment Ranking table to open the column selector. You can toggle additional score columns on or off to tailor the view to your workflow.
Understanding the Columns
| Column | Full name | Description |
|---|---|---|
# | Rank | Position within the portfolio based on the current score |
Score ↑ | Risk Score | AI-derived risk score from 0–10 |
ΔScore | Change in Risk | Rank positions moved vs. the previous period |
Sent | Sentiment | 0% = fully negative · 50% = neutral · 100% = fully positive |
ΔSent | Change in Sentiment | Sentiment shift vs. the previous period |
Vol | Volume | Total articles in the selected timeframe |
ΔVol | Change in Volume | % change in article volume vs. the previous period |
| Additional columns — enable via ⋮ column selector | ||
GRisk | General Risk | Broad risk signal from all risk-relevant news coverage |
CRisk | Credit Risk | Risk signal focused on credit-relevant events |
ESGRisk | ESG Risk | Risk signal from ESG-related negative coverage |

ESG | ESG Score | Overall ESG sentiment score and trend |
B/B | Bull-Bear | Market directional sentiment — bullish vs. bearish bias |
Price | Price & Volatility | Market price data and volatility, where available |
Right Panel — Sentiment Events & Trend
When a portfolio entity is selected (or when viewing the portfolio summary), the right side shows:
Risk Events
Top risk-relevant event types driving the score (e.g. Lawsuit, Restructure/Job Cuts, C-Level Departure) with article counts.
Risk Score
A colour-coded bar (green → yellow → red) showing the overall risk score out of 10 with a horizontal risk gauge.
Sentiment Trend Chart
A bar chart showing risk score and volume over the selected time period for that entity.
Sorting the Table
Click any column header to sort by that metric. Click again to reverse. Common use cases: sort by Score ↑ to surface the highest risk companies, or by ΔVol to see which entities suddenly spiked in news coverage.
Click on any entity row to expand its detail on the right panel, showing the full risk event breakdown and latest news for that company specifically.
News View
The News view shows the article feed for your selected portfolio or entity. Switch to it using the News tab on the right side of the screen.
Article Feed Tabs
All News shows every article matching your portfolio and filters in reverse-chronological order. Top News BETA uses YUKKA's algorithm to surface the most relevant and impactful articles — useful for quick morning scans. Stories groups articles around the same news event, giving a narrative overview across multiple sources. Events filters to articles containing detected events such as Restructuring or Product Launches, and can be further filtered by event type.
Bookmarked & Dismissed
The sub-tabs Bookmarked and Dismissed give you access to articles you've marked previously. Use these tabs to retrieve curated reading lists or review your dismissed articles.
Reading an Article in Detail
On the right side of the News view, the Participants section lists companies most frequently co-mentioned in the news. Click any participant to deep-dive into that company. Use Discover to surface related companies, countries, or events mentioned in the background of your news stream.
Click any article headline to open the Article Reader — a full reading pane with navigation arrows to move between articles, bookmark and dismiss controls, and expandable Entities and Events dropdowns that show what YUKKA detected in that article.
Company View
Click any company name in the Scan view, or search for an entity, to open its Company View — the full intelligence view for a single entity. It combines a time-series Charts panel, a live Article feed, an Event Breakdown by type, and a Peergroup Comparison table.
Chart Layers
Toggle each layer on/off by clicking its legend item at the top of the chart:
Volume
Bar chart showing total article count per day/week. Spikes indicate heightened media attention.
Events
Dots on the timeline mark when specific business events were detected in the news.
7-day Sentiment
Rolling 7-day average of sentiment score (0–100%). Short-term tone trend.
30-day Sentiment
Rolling 30-day sentiment average. Smoothed view for medium-term trend analysis.
Risk Score
Risk score over time. Watch for sustained rises as an early warning signal.
Price
Stock price overlay (where available) to correlate news signals with market moves.
Date Range & Export
Use the date range slider at the bottom of the chart to zoom in or select a custom period. Click the ⋮ three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the chart panel to add/remove layers, export the chart as PNG/SVG/PDF, download the raw data as CSV, or add annotations to mark events directly on the timeline.
Laggard / Leader Badge
The badge in the top-right corner (e.g. "Laggard in Health Care") shows how this company ranks within its sector — a leader has low risk and positive sentiment, a laggard has elevated risk. Updated daily.
Event Breakdown
Below the chart, the Event Breakdown lists all detected event types with their share of total coverage. Toggle between Importance (weighted significance) and Count (raw article frequency) to change how events are ranked. Colour-coded bars show both current and previous-period values for at-a-glance trend comparison.
Peergroup Comparison
The Peergroup Comparison table ranks competitor companies by sentiment score, giving you instant competitive context. Click any peer to switch the chart to that entity.
Generating a Report
Click the Reports ▼ button at the top of the company page to generate a Score Report or Due Diligence Report for that entity — available as a one-off download or on a recurring schedule. Learn more about reports →
Benchmark
The Benchmark view allows users to compare portfolio entities against each other or against an index. It shows relative performance using YUKKA's scoring over time.
Use it to spot which entities are outperforming or underperforming the rest of the portfolio in terms of risk or sentiment. Benchmark makes it easy to contextualise individual company scores within the broader portfolio picture — rather than viewing each entity in isolation.
Entity vs. Entity
Compare two or more portfolio entities directly on the same timeline to identify relative divergence in risk or sentiment trends.
Entity vs. Index
Benchmark an individual entity against an index to see whether its YUKKA score is moving in line with broader market sentiment.
Portfolio Outperformers
Surface which entities have the lowest risk and best sentiment relative to the rest of the portfolio — leaders versus laggards at a glance.
Benchmark is accessible from the right sidebar — click the Benchmark icon in the vertical tab strip on the right side of the screen.
Scores
The ScoreAI panel lets you choose which scoring signal to apply to your portfolio — either using YUKKA's ready-made scores or building your own custom ones. Access it from the score settings within your portfolio view.
The ScoreAI panel lets you switch between Yukka's pre-built scores. Here, Credit Risk is selected — the description explains what the score measures and how it is calculated.

Alerts
Alerts let you set up automated notifications for real-time awareness of major trends or risk events. Access the Alerts manager via the bell icon in the User section of the left sidebar.
To create an alert, click the Alerts icon in the sidebar, hit Create Alert, search for the company or entity to monitor, set your threshold condition (e.g. Sentiment below 40% or Risk Score above 8), and click Save — you'll be notified as soon as the condition is met.
Alert Tabs
Score Alerts
Get notified whenever a score crosses a defined threshold. Set a Name, optional Additional Recipients, a Schedule (e.g. check daily), and a Channel (e.g. Digest - Email). Then choose the Alert Type (Entity or Portfolio), search for the specific object to monitor, and define your trigger by selecting a Score, an operator, and a threshold value. You can also enable Associate a Delta Alert to track score changes over time.
Event Alerts
Receive a daily digest when specific risk event types are detected. Set a Name, optional Additional Recipients, and choose the Alert Type (Entity or Portfolio). Search for the object to monitor, then configure the Events section: filter by score type, select which specific events to track, and use the Set Impact Level slider to control sensitivity — sliding towards Low Impact means more alerts, High Impact means only the most significant ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from YUKKA users, covering search, scoring, portfolios, alerts, and reports.
Search & Entity Coverage
YUKKA's entity database covers a large number of companies, but not every small or private firm globally. If you can't find a company, scroll down in the search results to find the New Company option. This lets you add it manually as a keyword-based entity — the system builds an inclusion/exclusion keyword combination so news can still be tracked, even without a structured entity profile.
A Potential Entity means the system has detected the company as a participant in news events and stored it, but it has no enriched metadata (address, CEO, industry classification). You can still add it to a portfolio and track it, but results will be less precise than a fully enriched entity.
Sentiment & Scoring
50 is the neutral balance point — positive and negative mentions are in equilibrium. A drop from 70 to 52 over several months means media coverage shifted from positive toward neutral. Only positive and negative mentions count; purely neutral articles are excluded as non-opinion-forming. The sentiment score is a media tone indicator, not a credit score.
It reflects media mood, not volume. A score near 50 means neither positive nor negative mentions are dominating — no strong triggers in either direction. Events like strong quarterly results, a well-received acquisition, or a popular new CEO push it up; cyberattacks, lawsuits, and negative themes push it down.
Yes. Under Scores, you can select events from the YUKKA event cluster, weight them 1–5 (5 = most important), mark each as positive or negative, save the configuration, and apply it to your portfolio view. You're then analysing your portfolio through your own custom lens.
It applies across the entire portfolio view. You can also configure the Columns panel to show Credit Rating and Credit Rating Change alongside your custom score, and filter by score or news volume to prioritise the entities that matter most.
Yes. In a setup session, a score can be developed together — either expert-driven, or via a machine-learning model trained on your organisation's internal data to find which events historically preceded defaults (e.g. C-Level Change + cyberattack + Quarterly Sales Decline). The model proposes a weighting, which you can override and calibrate. Once set up, the same score can be used by everyone. Multiple custom scores are also supported.
Portfolios & Sharing
Yes. There is a Team Lead Portfolio function — individual users maintain their sub-portfolios, while a team lead holds a master aggregated portfolio that stays in sync with changes. Portfolios can also be defined centrally and shared with colleagues as read-only, read/write, or re-shareable via email.
There are three options: (1) Add their email to your alert so they receive it directly during the period; (2) Share the portfolio with them temporarily and un-share after the holiday; (3) Export the portfolio as a JSON file and have them import it via the + button → Import from Files.
As many as you need — there is no limit on the number of additional recipients for a single alert.
Peer Group Comparison
Yes — the Benchmark View (accessible from the right-hand side of the portfolio) lets you select a portfolio and specific companies to compare. You get overlaid lines per company for sentiment and score, plus aggregated events for those companies displayed underneath.
Score Reports include a table with the news-implied peer group and a spider chart showing the company vs. the peer group across various scores. A fully user-defined peer group is also possible — simply build a portfolio with exactly the companies you want to compare.

General
Mentioned shows how many times a given event type (e.g. Fossil Fuels Usage or Company Sell) was detected in the news for that day — each entry is one occurrence picked up from monitored sources. Change vs Yesterday compares today's mention count to the previous day's count for the same event, giving a quick sense of whether coverage around that topic is trending up or down.
Newsletter links lead to content hosted on the Cockpit platform, which requires a login. While access to the full Cockpit is limited to licensed users, you can still access the news content itself. In the Recent News section, clicking Read more opens the news excerpt, and the source link next to it takes you directly to the full article on the original publisher's site — no login required for the source link.

For fundamental data, YUKKA's AI agent already calls external data providers via interface — the same model could apply here.
