What it does
This actor is a pay-per-result tracker for active Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. It combines SEC EDGAR full-text search of recent Form 425 filings, a curated baseline of high-profile active SPACs, and live Yahoo Finance prices so the arbitrage signal — trust value, discount-to-trust, combination deadline, redemption mechanics, and sponsor — lands in a single dataset row.
Who it's for
Special-situations and SPAC-arbitrage desks, event-driven hedge funds, and retail SPAC traders who want the SPAC-Research-Premium dataset without a $25K Bloomberg seat.

FAQ
Where does the data come from?
Three signals combined: SEC EDGAR full-text search of Form 425 filings (trailing ~120 days), a curated baseline of high-profile active SPACs, and live Yahoo Finance prices for real-time discount-to-trust.
What is discount-to-trust?
(trust − price) / trust × 100 — when a SPAC trades below its trust value, the gap is effectively a free option on the merger, which this field surfaces directly.
Can I filter to a stage?
Yes — filter by status (Searching, Announced, Voting, Completed, Liquidated), minimum trust value, deadline window, or target sector.
