Easel can retrieve Visible Alpha consensus estimates and revision history when the connected firm has the relevant entitlement. Slack, Teams, email using a linked Portrait account, and CLI require full Easel access on the connected Portrait account. CLI retrieval also requires the account-enabled Easel CLI bridge.
What your data tier includes
Visible Alpha access is contractual, and the depth of data depends on your firm's agreement with Visible Alpha. There are two tiers:
| Standard Data | Company Data | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Seven standardized KPIs — revenue, gross profit, EBIT, EBITDA, EPS, capex, and free cash flow | Company-specific and segment-level metrics included in the firm's Company Data entitlement |
| Per retrieval call | Up to three of those KPIs; Easel can retrieve further batches for the same question | Full company-data views |
| History and forward range | Five years back to two years forward | Ten years back to three years forward |
These scopes depend on the firm's entitlement. If a requested metric is unavailable, narrow the request to an entitled metric or verify the expected entitlement with the Portrait team. Visible Alpha data cannot be written to a generated Excel workbook.
If you are unsure which tier your firm holds, contact the team.
