What you get

Short answer: the SEC disclosure interpretation registry records which reading of a covenant, trigger, threshold, or filing term your team relied on, then preserves source evidence and supersession history.

  • Registered interpretations

    Record the reading that counts.

    For each disclosure-derived item, such as covenants, triggers, or thresholds, we maintain the interpretation your organization registered as the working reading, timestamped and tied to source disclosures.See the state model
  • Interpretation changes

    Track when interpretations evolve.

    When an interpretation is registered, superseded, or retired, you get a structured notification with the prior reading, the new reading, and evidence linking both to source disclosures.View transition types
  • Evidence records

    Review what you relied on.

    Each registered interpretation includes SEC filing excerpts, registration timestamps, supersession history, ambiguity notes, and a state hash for later review.

How it works

We maintain a registry of interpretations your organization relies on. It records the reading that counted for a decision, not every possible reading.

Scope definition

You define which disclosure-derived items matter: covenant triggers, compliance thresholds, contractual obligations, control conditions, or materiality flags. We configure the registry for your specific scope.

Interpretation registration

When your organization commits to an interpretation, we register it with timestamps, source disclosure references, confidence bands, and ambiguity notes. If the reading changes later, the earlier record stays reviewable.

Delivery

Notifications arrive via email, Slack, or webhook when interpretations are registered or superseded. Each notification includes the interpretation statement, prior readings, and provenance record links.
  1. Register our interpretation of the leverage covenant breach threshold.

  2. Track when our reading of a material contract term is superseded.

  3. Maintain evidence of what we relied on for this compliance decision.

  4. Show me the interpretation history for a specific obligation.

Interpretations change. The record stays reviewable.

Start with discovery

Five steps to proof on your own disclosure items.
1

Define interpretation scope

Identify the disclosure-derived items you want to register interpretations for: covenants, triggers, thresholds, obligations, or conditions.
2

Specify source disclosures

Provide the SEC filers and filing types that contain the disclosures you're interpreting, such as 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, or specific exhibits.
3

Register initial interpretations

Submit the interpretations your organization currently relies upon, with references to the specific disclosure excerpts they're based on.
4

Pick a delivery channel

Choose email, Slack, or webhook for notifications when interpretations are registered, superseded, or scope changes occur.
5

Qualify the outcome

Provide the context, owner, and source material. We will qualify fit and, if there is a real outcome, schedule a two-hour working session.

Common questions

What do you mean by "interpretation"?

An interpretation is a specific reading of a disclosure-derived item. For example, it may define how a leverage covenant breach threshold is calculated based on Exhibit 10.1 language. It is the reading your organization relies on for decisions.

What types of items can be interpreted?

Covenant triggers, compliance thresholds, contractual obligations, control conditions, disclosure-defined events, and materiality flags. Scope is explicitly configured per engagement.

How do interpretations differ from extractions?

Extractions pull data from disclosures. Interpretations record what that data means for your organization's decisions. Multiple valid extractions can lead to different interpretations, and we record which one counted.

Can interpretations be changed?

Registered interpretations can be superseded by a new interpretation, but the prior reading is preserved with history. Review starts from what was relied on at that point in time.

What's included in the provenance record?

Each interpretation includes source filing references (accession numbers, exhibit citations), disclosure excerpts relied upon, the interpretation statement, confidence band, ambiguity notes, registration timestamp, supersession history, and a state hash.

What happens after the evaluation?

We review interpretation coverage, evidence completeness, and how well the registry supports your decision workflows. If it is a fit, we propose a production plan with scope, delivery targets, operating model, and support responsibilities.

Why teams use this

AI systems can read the same disclosure differently. This registry gives teams one reviewable record of the interpretation used for a decision.

  • One reading counts

    Multiple interpretations are possible. Only one gets registered. Disputes focus on judgment, not reconstruction of what was believed.
  • Stable across model changes

    When prompts or models change, your registered interpretations stay tied to source evidence. What you relied on remains reviewable.
  • Automation-ready

    Internal tools can reference interpretation IDs instead of re-inferring from raw disclosures. Downstream automation gets a stable record to cite.
