What it does

Determines which SEC filings are needed for the valuation based on the company’s fiscal calendar and the valuation date. Returns a structured JSON file listing every 10-K and 10-Q the pipeline must process.

​
Why bridge quarters matter

If the valuation date falls after the most recent 10-K, the model needs trailing-twelve-month (LTM) figures. These are computed by adding recent quarter data to the annual and subtracting the prior year’s equivalent quarters. The bridge and bridge_prior filings make this calculation possible.

​
Edge cases

  • Valuation date = 10-K filing date — no bridge quarters needed; LTM equals the annual
  • Fiscal year doesn’t end in December — the skill correctly handles non-calendar fiscal years (e.g., Apple’s September FYE)
  • Recent IPO — if fewer than 4 quarters of data exist, the skill flags this and adjusts
