• Compare documents when reported numbers differ, including original and restated figures or adjusted and reported results.
• Track fiscal years, document versions, and amended filings so each question has a reliable answer.
• Write precise questions and revise wording when more than one interpretation could be valid.
• Test questions against current AI models and keep examples where the model response is incorrect or ambiguous.
