Extract SEC filings to structured JSON
SEC filings contain financial statements, risk disclosures, and business descriptions in structured form. Formats mix narrative with complex tables. Sensible extracts data from 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and other filings into validated JSON for analysis and compliance.
Why SEC filings challenge extraction tools
Long documents with mixed narrative and tabular content make automated SEC extraction difficult.
Balance sheets and income statements use layouts with subtotals and parenthetical negatives. Sensible preserves the full table structure.
10-K filings contain risk factors and business descriptions in dense prose. Sensible extracts key data from the narrative.
Financial tables present current and prior period data side by side. Sensible extracts each period's values for automated comparison.
