Our corpo year starts May 1. Please add an offset functionality to your free solution immediately, as it has now become a core component of our operation, or we will be forced to take legal action. Also, we appreciate if you could sign a retroactive NDA with our legal team ASAP.

We have a P0 to add calendar 445/ 544/ 454. This critical oversight is causing us to lose sales, as our sales folks never know when those companies fiscal year ends, and end up missing budgetary deadlines.

Also, my legal team says your color choices aren't compliant with Section 508, so regrettably, we do have to take legal action.

Edit: EMEA has questions I couldn't answer about GDPR, PII & data governance. Can you please hope on a quick call to see if they also want to sue you?

Love it, but it needs an icon so I can install it as a PWA.

Oh, and can I get the icon in corn-flower blue?

Feature request: Please add an endpoint that is by stock ticker (e.g. " https://corporate.watch/AAPL ", as some companies do their financial reporting on a different calendar, and it would be nice to reference with respect to their "datetime zone".

With the company headquarters as a background image, AI generated with more or less inferno/rainbows depending on last quarter's performance.

I was pretty sure I was the only person who had one of these, but I guess not...

I also built something like this: https://ascent.ca/fos/qs.html

Yeah some publicly traded companies have a different 'beginning of the year' but good luck with finding and making one for each (even with some elaborate on-the-fly scripting). I think the whole effort was to make a funny landing page that would prompt visitors to check the bread-maker objectivetrackr.

Are we really still doing the "-r" branding (brandr)? It is so tiresome.

Reading the comments here gives me PTSD and a wish to go deep down the forest chopping woods

We should table this discussion and circle back EOD. Regards,

Calendar days are meaningless in corporate. Better state workdays (or best of both worlds: mention # of calendar days and # of actual workdays)

A funny idea but I think it is wrong(?)

The site suggests it is "7 weeks into 2025" but as of today (Feb 25th, 2025) we are in week 9 (according to MS Outlook calendar at work)

Some of them don't even start on a month boundary, or even on the same day every year. Cisco, for instance, has a fiscal year based on a retail calendar[0]; their fiscal year ends on the last full week in July. 0 - https://nrf.com/resources/4-5-4-calendar

It is for year over year comparability for anyone unfamiliar

Well yes for a strictly non-consumer company, since their revenues don't depend on Superbowl, Valentine's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Amazon Prime Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving/Cyber Monday, Christmas. They probably depend more on Fed rate cuts/rises affecting corporate infrastructure budget.

("Honey I got you that Cisco 4500 you always wanted...")

Whereas for anything consumer e-commerce, you'd want a calendar with variable/sliding dates (e.g. SuperBowl) but that at least keeps the above events in the same quarter YoY, consistently.
