Break the Wall is a transparency tool that analyzes SEC filings and corporate data to expose the hierarchies and executive compensation hidden inside public companies. The name comes from the "wall" of positions that companies put in place—layers of roles designed to protect wealth rather than create value.
Most of us look at a company and see a name and a logo. Behind the scenes, there's usually a carefully stacked structure of executives and directors, each layer helping to shield those at the top. I built Break the Wall to pull back that curtain and show exactly who holds those positions and how much they're being paid.
By digging into SEC filings, the tool maps out corporate hierarchies and makes executive compensation easy to understand. Charts and visualizations built with D3.js and Recharts turn dry financial data into something you can actually see and explore, so the structure of power is clear at a glance.
