When you ask about one outside that set, the Analyst still helps from public knowledge, tells you the company is not covered, and offers to request coverage. ## From the Analyst The Analyst asks once, in the answer: > Do you want to request coverage for *Company*? Reply **yes** to record the request against your account. The Analyst confirms and notes that requested tickers are reviewed in weekly batches. Any other reply, or no reply, records nothing. The Analyst does not ask twice in the same conversation and does not offer for a company that is already covered. ## From search Search for a ticker in the global search bar. When nothing covered matches, the empty state reads **Outside of current coverage** and offers **Request coverage for "…"**. Select it; **Request recorded, thanks!** confirms. Type the ticker, not the company name. A multi-word name cannot be recorded and shows **Couldn't record request**. ## What happens next Requests are reviewed in weekly batches. There is no notification when a company is added; search for it again or ask the Analyst. If your account was created moments ago, you may see **Your account isn't set up for coverage requests yet**. Wait a minute and try again. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sterlinglabs.co/the-analyst/requesting-coverage.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
