Nine public tables built from United States SEC filings, published the day those filings appear.

What this is

When a public company has something material happen — a cybersecurity incident, a completed acquisition, a new officer, a charter amendment, a major agreement — it must tell the SEC, in public, that day. This repository publishes those filings as plain tables, sorted by what the company itself declared, with a link back to every original document.

Nothing here is written. Nothing is interpreted. It is a record, not an article.

The rule

Every value either comes from a document we link, or is a number we computed.

There is no author and no opinion. Where a row carries a quotation, it is the company's own sentence, verbatim, from the press release exhibit attached to its filing, with that filing linked beside it.

The only claim any row makes is this company filed this document on this date, which either is or is not true, and can be checked in one click. Where a filing is ambiguous we undercount rather than guess.

Edgar & Edgarette

The boards have two voices, and both keep the rule above.

• Edgar, the reporter, says what happened: who filed what with the SEC, and when.
• Edgarette, the actuary, says what it means in numbers, in the order of an actuarial report (ASOP No. 41, 25, 23): exposure, experience, credibility, an 80% range, cautions, and a comparison with industry peers. Every figure is the company's own, from its audited filings.

Ask about any SEC filer at https://www.pops4.com/boards/ask.json?q=PEP, in the box on any board, or through the MCP tool get_company_performance.

• The 80% range is tested, not asserted. It is set from 7,847 SEC company-years; held against the company's own past years it landed inside the range 76% of the time, against an 80% target. The first method held only 26% and was retired.
• Misses are published. Every range is logged once per company per fiscal year and scored when the next 10-K arrives: https://www.pops4.com/boards/scorecard.
• Credibility moves with the record. When a company files 8-K Item 4.02 (earlier statements should no longer be relied on), Edgarette marks her weight down one step until a new 10-K is filed, and links the filing.
• Numbers, never advice. No buy or sell views, no price targets, no positions held.

How it is built

The SEC publishes a machine-readable index of every filing, every business day, free. Every hour on business days a worker reads that index and fetches each filing's 852-byte header sidecar, which carries the filing's own item tags, industry code, state of incorporation and event date.

Because the header is small, every filing is read every day rather than a sample. A second pass opens the full document only for filings that land on a board, and takes one verbatim sentence from the press release exhibit. A third pass caches company facts per filer.

Updating

.github/workflows/daily.yml pulls the current tables from the live boards once a day and commits them if they changed. It needs no credentials. If a HF_TOKEN repository secret is present it also pushes the same files to Hugging Face.

Known limitations, stated plainly

• Roughly half of 8-K filings carry no press release exhibit, so most rows have no quotation.
• Item 1.05 (cybersecurity) is genuinely rare — on the order of one a fortnight. A near-empty breach board is correct, not broken.
• Item 5.03 covers articles or bylaws or fiscal year; most are not renames. Renames are flagged per row from the filer's own former name rather than assumed for the board.
• The breach deadline column uses the shortest common statutory window. Real notification obligations follow where affected residents live, so a single incident can run several clocks. Treat the column as an indicator, not legal advice.
• Item 4.01 (auditor change) is often routine: a firm merger or a fee decision. The board records the filing and says nothing more about it.
• We undercount. That is deliberate.
