Analysis traps: practice on real filings
112 real findings from the latest filings, 10 rules: the figures first, then a reader's conclusion, then your call: do the figures hold up, do they fit a trap, or can they not say? The answer comes with the innocent explanations and what would show the trap does not apply. No fabricated numbers; not investment advice.

Reading the practice set…
How the practice set is built
Every item is a finding of the same rules that run on every company (data/traps/<cik>.json), shown with its figures: triggered and to-review findings answer “the figures fit the trap”, findings the rule cleared with at least medium confidence answer “the figures hold up”, and findings with insufficient data answer “cannot tell” (missing data is never shown as clear). The set is drawn round-robin over the rules, largest companies first, and rebuilt with the site.
Each rule reads the company's own filings by a fixed formula and says what would explain the same figures innocently. A triggered rule is a question to verify, not a finding of manipulation, and not a view on the stock. Missing data is shown as missing, never as clear. Not investment advice.
