The Scouting Report library is Scouter’s collection of longer research write-ups. Each report is published on a schedule and often includes charts and structured sections. Reports are not generated instantly when you click — they are finished pieces you open and read, similar to a research note or magazine article.
How to browse
- Open Scouting Report.
- Browse the index by sector or in chronological order. Look for the Field Guide strip for this week’s operator note.
- Look at badges on each card — they tell you whether a report is free, a free premium offer, or requires a paid plan.
- Click a card to open the report. If content is locked, the page will show clear next steps (sign up, claim, or upgrade).
Use reports when you want deeper narrative context after spotting a theme on Trend Scores or a ticker on Expected Moves / Top Ideas. They complement the live tools; they do not replace them. After reading a report, browse the live Expected Moves week grid for this week’s catalyst calendar.
Types of reports you will see
Free reports
Some posts are free to read for everyone (or after a simple signup). These are labeled clearly on the index — for example Free Report.
Standard research reports
Many long-form posts are available on Starter and Premium. If you are on Free and open one of these, you will usually see a gate titled along the lines of Premium Research Report, with buttons to Upgrade or go Back to Reports. (Starter members can open these even if the button wording emphasizes Premium.)
Field Guides
Field Guides are Scouter’s weekly operator notes: one belief we actually use in analysis, translated into one named check, proved on past Expected Moves, then pointed at this week’s board. You can read the idea (the teaser) before unlocking. How access works:
| Your situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Not signed in | You can read the idea. To unlock the receipt and this week’s names for the current Field Guide offer, choose Unlock the receipt (or Sign in if you already have an account). |
| Signed in on Free, have not claimed yet | If this is the active free offer, choose Unlock the receipt. Free accounts get one complimentary Field Guide. |
| Already claimed your complimentary Field Guide | Additional Field Guides unlock with Premium. Featured and on-page buttons say Get the Field Guide library. |
| Premium | The full Field Guide library is unlocked. |
On the index, watch for the Field Guide badge (and Free with signup when a complimentary offer is active).
If a report is locked
- Read any on-page explanation — it will say whether you need to sign up, claim a free Field Guide, or upgrade.
- Manage your plan anytime under Settings → Subscription or Pricing.
- Return to All reports to pick another piece.
