Mistaken idea “Treating a ticker and chart as reproducible evidence”

Mistaken reasoning: A specific error pattern that replaces the evidence required for reproducible filing analytics.

Updated Sep 11, 2026 Review due Nov 8, 2026

Why this is mistaken

A ticker can change and a chart hides selection rules. Record the CIK, accession, filing and period dates, taxonomy, full fact identities, units, amendment policy, exclusions, raw-data digest, and code version. The correction explains duplicate and fiscal-calendar handling and retains the filing document when extensions or context detail matter. Reproducibility proves the path from evidence to result, not the accounting interpretation.

Where to watch

When this mistake may appear

  • Anyone can rerun this because the ticker is in the spreadsheet.
Check your work

Your work may contain this mistake if:

  • Omits CIK, accession, form, reporting period, selected contexts, amendments, transformations, or code version.
