 "conventions": {
  "amounts": "US dollars as reported, not scaled; per-share items in US dollars per share; share counts in shares; pure items as fractions",
  "signs": "revenue, expenses, taxes and payments are positive amounts; operating, investing and financing cash-flow totals are negative when cash flows out",
  "fiscal_year": "the company's own fiscal-year label; start and end dates are given for every period",
  "period_label": "FY<year> Q<n>",
  "quarters": "a quarter that the filings do not report on its own, such as a fourth quarter, is derived from the figures of the filings",
  "restatements": "each value comes from the latest filing that reports the period; earlier different values are listed in restatements",
  "comparison": "a change against the same period a year earlier compares 2 figures of one basis, as the latest report that presents both periods gives them, so that a restatement or a stock split between 2 reports does not count as a change; where these figures differ from the published ones, the row of the later period gives them under comparison, with their sources and the fiscal year of the report (basis), and a comparison of null means that no report presents both",
  "definitions": "each item keeps one definition across periods",
  "withheld": "a value that contradicts the definition of its item, or that the filings report in contradiction, is withheld: it is empty and listed in withheld with its reason and sources",
  "source_ids": "<form>:<accession number>; see documents",
  "events": "corporate events found in the filings since 2020, such as acquisitions, disposals, stock splits, restatements and changes of name; each names its type and its source documents",
  "notes": "items with group note come from the notes to the financial statements; a note item that a filing does not report is empty, which differs from a reported zero; pure items are fractions, so 0.045 means 4.5%",
  "debt": "total debt counts each borrowing once; a balance-sheet date at which the company has no debt carries nil debt",
  "methods": "method is reported, or derived where the figure is calculated from figures of the documents listed",
  "published_at": "the time, in UTC, at which Annalist wrote the snapshot to the site for the first time; the snapshot of a company that a reader could cite on a date is the latest whose published_at is not after that date"
