  • Total assets, total liabilities, stockholders' equity
  • Operating cash flow, CapEx, free cash flow
  • Segment revenue breakdown (if multi-segment)

2. Risk Factor Analysis (from 10-K Item 1A)

  • Categorize risks: market, operational, regulatory, financial, legal, technology
  • Flag risks mentioning: litigation, regulatory investigation, material weakness, going concern
  • Compare risk factors year-over-year to detect new disclosures
  • Score overall risk severity (low / moderate / elevated / high)

3. Material Event Detection (from 8-K)

  • Item 1.01: Entry into material agreement
  • Item 2.01: Completion of acquisition or disposition
  • Item 2.05: Costs of restructuring

  • Item 5.02: Departure of directors/officers
  • Item 8.01: Other material events

4. Ownership & Governance (from DEF 14A, 13D/G)
