Setup Notes

  • Use CIKs or tickers when monitoring known companies.
  • Specify filing types and date ranges so the output stays focused.
  • Define whether the workflow needs filing metadata only or links to filing documents for downstream processing.

Output Handling

  • Keep company name, CIK, filing type, filing date, accession number, and filing URL together.
  • Use accession numbers as stable IDs for deduplication and joins.
  • Deliver filing metadata separately from any extracted document text when large filings are involved.

Quality Checks

  • Confirm ticker-to-CIK mapping before production runs.
  • Check date range boundaries and filing type filters.
  • Deduplicate by accession number before sending data to alerts or databases.
