Screening companies by guidance finds who changed their outlook and when, across the guidance FocusAlpha extracts from earnings calls, releases and IR announcements. The axis has two vocabularies that are deliberately not the same: whether the guided number went up or down, and whether the change was good or bad news — a company raising its cost outlook filed a raise and told you something bad.

Better/Worse Versus Raises/Cuts
At least N guidance moves that are good news in the last 90 days. guidance_worse_90d_gte is the bad-news mirror.
At least N guidance numbers that went up — not the same thing as good news. guidance_cuts_90d_gte is the mirror.
Time Is a Filter, Not Just a Count
YYYY-MM-DD: newest good-news guidance move on or after this date — “who cut in the past ten days” is guidance_worse_since with a date, not a 90-day count.
guidance_last_better_at and guidance_last_worse_at, so the recency of the move travels with the match.
What a Guidance Match Does Not Tell You
The screen row says a company moved its guidance, and when. For what changed — which metric, from what range to what range, with the source quote — follow up with Guidance Changes on the companies returned. The two are halves of one extraction and share a metric vocabulary.
Guidance Coverage
Guidance covers companies whose releases, calls or IR announcements FocusAlpha ingests — the free facets endpoint reports how many companies carry a guidance tag in the current window. A company outside that coverage never matches a guidance filter, which is a coverage fact rather than “the company never guides”.
