// EXTRACTION LOGIC
Two reports are extracted via SourceGraph, then aligned section-by-section. Numbers are diffed as values; text sections are diffed as sentence-level changes.
// SOURCE-LINKED OUTPUT
Every diff row keeps two source pointers — one per document — so any change can be opened back to both originals.
{ file, page, table_id, row_id, cell_id, label, value, unit, period }// FAQ
Are text diffs sentence-level?
Yes. Risk factors, MD&A, and auditor's report are diffed at the sentence level for readability.
Can I compare standalone vs consolidated only?
Yes — the comparison can be scoped to specific statement types or note ranges.
Does it work across format changes?
The canonical ontology means line-item renames or re-orderings still align correctly.
