Topics are read from the text of the 10-K, 10-Q or the exhibit attached to an 8-K, each linked to the passage it came from. 8-K events are labelled by fixed rules from the item codes and the filing text — the same rules for every company and every year. The Full Picture merges these with earnings calls and news.
