Running it, start to finish
- Paste the relevant sections along with last year's equivalent text.
- Read section 3 first if you have both years.
- Take the unanswered questions to other sources rather than inferring answers.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Translates the filing's own framing out of jargon without adding a view on the company.
- Compares this year's wording against last year's, where changes are rarely accidental.
- Separates boilerplate risk factors from the specific, informative ones.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Always supply the prior year. Section 3 is where this earns its place. A filing read in isolation tells you far less than two read against each other.
- Watch the non-standard metrics. Section 2 flags where a company has defined its own measure. Those definitions change, and the change is easy to miss.
- Feed section 6 into your next read. What a filing does not address is often the more interesting question, and it points at what to go and find elsewhere.
