 ## Executive Summary
 
-**Primary Question Answered by Dataset**: This dataset fundamentally measures the financial health, operational performance, and capital structure of companies through standardized balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement data reported under accounting standards.
+**Primary Question Answered by Dataset**: What is the comprehensive financial health and operational performance of companies across balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow dimensions?
 
 **Key Insights from Analysis**:
-- The dataset provides granular decomposition of working capital components (receivables, inventory stages, payables) enabling detailed liquidity analysis
-- Vector-type storage of historical fiscal periods allows for time-series reconstruction of financial trajectories rather than just point-in-time snapshots
-- Separation of current vs. non-current items and operating vs. financing activities enables structural analysis of capital allocation
-- Comprehensive coverage of lease obligations, pension liabilities, and deferred taxes provides visibility into off-balance-sheet structural commitments
+- The dataset provides granular decomposition of assets (inventory stages, receivables types), liabilities (short-term vs long-term, deferred taxes), and equity components
+- Cash flow data includes detailed financing and investing activities, enabling analysis of capital allocation efficiency
+- Comprehensive income components (foreign exchange adjustments, unrealized gains, pension adjustments) allow for analysis of non-operating volatility
+- Lease obligations and rental commitments provide forward-looking liability visibility beyond standard debt metrics
 
 **Critical Field Relationships Identified**:
-- Operating Cash Flow (`cf_cash_from_oper`) and Net Income (`net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs`) divergence indicates earnings quality
-- Short-term Debt (`bs_st_borrow`) relative to Operating Cash Flow reveals refinancing risk dynamics
-- Inventory composition (`invtry_raw_materials`, `invtry_in_progress`, `invtry_finished_goods`) relative to Sales (`sales_rev_turn`) indicates supply chain efficiency
+- Operating cash flow generation vs interest obligations (debt service capacity)
+- Inventory composition (raw materials vs work-in-progress) vs revenue timing
+- Comprehensive income vs net income divergence (earnings quality indicator)
 
 **Most Promising Feature Concepts**:
-1. **Capital Structure Stability Coefficient** - because leverage volatility predicts distress better than leverage levels
-2. **Working Capital Velocity Anomaly** - because deviations from historical receivables/inventory turnover indicate operational stress or competitive shifts
-3. **Interest Rate Efficiency Gap** - because divergence between effective rates and reported interest expense reveals financial engineering or covenant stress
+1. **Debt Servicing Coverage Ratio** - because it directly measures financial distress risk using cash flow adequacy
+2. **Comprehensive Income Divergence** - because it captures hidden volatility not reflected in net income
+3. **Capital Expenditure Momentum** - because it signals management's confidence in future growth prospects

 ### Field Deconstruction Analysis
 
-#### bs_st_debt: Short-Term Borrowings
-- **What is being measured?**: Financial obligations due within one fiscal year including bank overdrafts, short-term borrowings, and current portion of long-term debt
-- **How is it measured?**: Reported book value at period end from balance sheet, audited according to accounting standards (GAAP/IFRS)
-- **Time dimension**: Point-in-time snapshot (quarterly), cumulative obligation amount
-- **Business context**: Immediate liquidity risk and refinancing requirements; critical for working capital management assessment
-- **Generation logic**: Direct reporting from company financial statements, subject to audit verification
-- **Reliability considerations**: High reliability for standardized companies, but classification between short-term and long-term can be managed through covenant waivers or refinancing agreements announced near period-end
-
-#### sales_rev_turn: Sales/Revenue/Turnover
-- **What is being measured?**: Top-line income generated from core business operations before any expenses
-- **How is it measured?**: Accumulated transaction value over the reporting period (flow variable), recognized according to revenue recognition standards
-- **Time dimension**: Cumulative over fiscal quarter/year, reset each period
-- **Business context**: Primary indicator of market demand, pricing power, and operational scale; foundation for all profitability metrics
-- **Generation logic**: Accounting system aggregation of invoiced sales, net of returns and allowances

-
-#### cf_cash_from_oper: Cash Flow from Operations
-- **What is being measured?**: Actual cash generated from core business activities, adjusting net income for non-cash items and working capital changes
-- **How is it measured?**: Indirect method (starting from net income) or direct method (cash receipts/payments) per cash flow statement standards
-- **Time dimension**: Cumulative cash flow over the reporting period
-- **Business context**: Ultimate measure of sustainable cash generation ability; less subject to accounting manipulation than net income
-- **Generation logic**: Derived from income statement and balance sheet changes, subject to accounting policy choices on classification (operating vs. investing)
-- **Reliability considerations**: Classification flexibility allows management to shift items between operating and investing (e.g., capitalizing vs. expensing), affecting comparability
-
-#### net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs: Net Income Available to Common
-- **What is being measured?**: Residual profit attributable to common equity holders after all expenses, taxes, minority interests, and preferred dividends
-- **How is it measured?**: Accrual-based accounting aggregation of revenues minus expenses, extraordinary items, and tax effects
-- **Time dimension**: Cumulative earnings over the reporting period
-- **Business context**: Bottom-line profitability measure determining dividend capacity, retention policy, and ROE calculations
-- **Generation logic**: Standardized accounting calculation but subject to significant estimation (allowances, depreciation, impairment timing)
-- **Reliability considerations**: High susceptibility to earnings management through accrual choices, timing of asset sales, and classification of items as extraordinary/recurring

 ### Field Relationship Mapping
 
 **The Story This Data Tells**:
-This dataset narrates the transformation of capital into profits through operational activities. It tracks how companies finance themselves (debt/equity mix), deploy capital into assets (tangible, intangible, working capital), generate revenues through operations, convert revenues into cash, and distribute returns to stakeholders. The vector structure enables observation of how these relationships evolve through time—whether capital structures stabilize or destabilize, whether working capital efficiency improves or deteriorates, and whether accounting profits translate into cash reality.
+This dataset narrates the complete financial lifecycle of a corporation: how it generates cash from operations (cash_from_oper), how it invests in growth (cap_expend_prpty_add), how it finances these activities (cash_from_fnc_act, st_debt), and how it returns value to shareholders (tot_cash_com_dvd). The interplay between accrual accounting (net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs) and cash reality (net_chng_cash) reveals earnings quality, while the composition of assets (invtry_raw_materials vs invtry_in_progress) and liabilities (st_debt vs lt_capital_lease_obligations) exposes operational strategy and financial risk.
 
 **Key Relationships Identified**:
-1. **Accrual Convergence**: The relationship between `net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs` (accrual earnings) and `cf_cash_from_oper` (cash earnings) reveals earnings quality; persistent divergence suggests aggressive revenue recognition or inefficient working capital management
-2. **Capital Intensity Cycle**: `cf_cap_expend_prpty_add` (investment) relative to `depreciation_expense` (maintenance) indicates growth mode vs. harvest mode; when combined with `sales_rev_turn` growth, reveals capital efficiency
-3. **Liquidity Transformation**: The conversion cycle from `invtry_raw_materials` → `invtry_in_progress` → `invtry_finished_goods` → `accts_rec_excl_notes_rec` → `cf_cash_from_oper` maps the operating cycle duration and bottlenecks
-4. **Financial Leverage Mechanics**: `is_int_expense` relative to `eff_int_rate` and total debt (`bs_st_borrow` + `bs_lt_borrow`) reveals debt pricing efficiency and covenant compliance pressure
+1. **Cash Conversion Cycle**: Inventory stages (raw materials → work in progress) → Receivables → Cash flow timing relationships
+2. **Capital Structure Dynamics**: Short-term debt + Long-term leases vs Operating cash flow (solvency assessment)
+3. **Earnings Composition**: Net income vs Comprehensive income divergence (foreign exchange, unrealized gains, pension adjustments)
+4. **Dividend Capacity**: Retained earnings accumulation vs Cash paid for dividends (payout sustainability)
 
 **Missing Pieces That Would Complete the Picture**:
-- Real-time covenant compliance status and credit facility availability (current vs. committed)
-- Segment-level breakdowns to identify which business units drive consolidated metrics
-- Off-balance-sheet contingent liabilities and derivative exposures not captured in deferred tax or lease fields
-- Management guidance and consensus expectations to contextualize realized performance
+- Market capitalization data to link fundamentals to valuation (P/E, P/B ratios)
+- Sector/industry classifications for relative comparisons
+- Historical price data for market-based feature validation
+- Accounts payable data to complete working capital cycle analysis

 ### Q1: "What is stable?" (Invariance Features)
 
-**Concept**: Capital Structure Stability Coefficient
-- **Sample Fields Used**: bs_st_borrow, bs_lt_borrow, bs_tot_asset
-- **Definition**: Coefficient of variation of total debt-to-assets ratio measured over trailing 4 quarters
-- **Why This Feature**: Capital structure volatility predicts financial distress independently of leverage levels; stable leverage indicates disciplined financial policy and lower refinancing risk
-- **Logical Meaning**: Measures the consistency of a company's financing decisions and capital allocation stability
-- **Directionality**: Lower values indicate more stable capital structure (positive signal for credit quality); higher values indicate erratic financing behavior
-- **Boundary Conditions**: Approaches 0 for perfectly stable capital structures; spikes during acquisitions, divestitures, or financial stress
-- **Implementation Example**: `divide(ts_std_dev(divide(add(vec_avg({bs_st_borrow}), vec_avg({bs_lt_borrow})), vec_avg({bs_tot_asset})), 252), abs(ts_mean(divide(add(vec_avg({bs_st_borrow}), vec_avg({bs_lt_borrow})), vec_avg({bs_tot_asset})), 252)))`
-
-**Concept**: Operating Cash Flow Persistence Ratio
-- **Sample Fields Used**: cf_cash_from_oper, sales_rev_turn
-- **Definition**: Rolling 8-quarter correlation between operating cash flow and sales revenue
-- **Why This Feature**: Stable conversion of sales to cash indicates sustainable business model; volatility suggests working capital management issues or revenue recognition concerns
-- **Logical Meaning**: Measures the reliability and predictability of cash generation from core operations
-- **Directionality**: Higher values (closer to 1) indicate stable conversion efficiency; lower/negative values indicate deteriorating cash conversion
-- **Boundary Conditions**: 1.0 = perfect linear relationship; 0 = no relationship; negative values suggest inverse relationship (potential accounting issues)
-- **Implementation Example**: `ts_corr(vec_avg({cf_cash_from_oper}), vec_avg({sales_rev_turn}), 504)`
+**Concept**: Interest Expense Stability Coefficient
+- **Sample Fields Used**: int_expense
+- **Definition**: Coefficient of variation (standard deviation divided by mean) of interest expense over trailing 252 days
+- **Why This Feature**: Stable interest expenses indicate predictable debt service obligations and conservative capital structure management; high volatility suggests refinancing risk or variable rate exposure

+- **is filling nan necessary**: Backfilling may be appropriate for quarterly reporting gaps, but zero values should not be filled as they indicate no interest expense
+- **Directionality**: Lower values indicate stability (desirable); higher values indicate financial stress or variable rate exposure
+- **Boundary Conditions**: Values approaching zero indicate either no debt or perfectly fixed rates; extreme spikes indicate distressed refinancing
+- **Implementation Example**: divide(ts_std_dev(vec_avg({int_expense}), 252), abs(ts_mean(vec_avg({int_expense}), 252)))
+
+**Concept**: Operating Cash Flow Persistence
+- **Sample Fields Used**: cash_from_oper
+- **Definition**: Rolling 504-day autocorrelation of operating cash flow levels
+- **Why This Feature**: Persistent operating cash flows indicate sustainable business models; erratic cash generation suggests cyclicality or working capital management issues
+- **Logical Meaning**: Captures the stability of core business cash generation independent of accounting accruals
+- **is filling nan necessary**: Quarterly gaps should be backfilled using ts_backfill to maintain continuity for time series calculations
+- **Directionality**: Higher values (closer to 1.0) indicate stable, predictable cash generation
+- **Boundary Conditions**: Negative autocorrelation suggests mean-reverting or cyclical cash flows; values >0.8 indicate exceptional stability

-**Concept**: Working Capital Velocity Acceleration
+**Concept**: Capital Expenditure Acceleration
+- **Sample Fields Used**: cap_expend_prpty_add
+- **Definition**: Year-over-year change in capital expenditures normalized by trailing average total assets
+- **Why This Feature**: Accelerating capex signals management confidence in growth prospects; deceleration suggests caution or capacity saturation
+- **Logical Meaning**: Captures investment momentum relative to firm size, indicating strategic inflection points
+- **is filling nan necessary**: Zero values represent actual lack of investment and should not be filled; missing data requires backfilling
+- **Directionality**: Positive values indicate expansion; negative values indicate contraction or maintenance mode
+- **Boundary Conditions**: Extreme positive values (>50% of assets) suggest aggressive growth or acquisition activity; sustained negative values indicate asset-light transitions
+- **Implementation Example**: divide(ts_delta(vec_avg({cap_expend_prpty_add}), 252), ts_mean(vec_avg({tot_asset}), 252))
+
+**Concept**: Working Capital Velocity Shift
 - **Sample Fields Used**: chng_non_cash_work_cap, sales_rev_turn
-- **Definition**: Quarterly change in the ratio of non-cash working capital changes to sales revenue
-- **Why This Feature**: Accelerating working capital investment relative to sales growth indicates potential demand slowdown, inventory obsolescence, or loosening credit terms to sustain revenue
-- **Logical Meaning**: Captures the momentum of capital tied up in operations; positive acceleration suggests inefficiency or growth investment
-- **Directionality**: Positive values suggest increasing working capital intensity (potential negative); negative values suggest improving efficiency
-- **Boundary Conditions**: Extreme positive values during inventory buildups or receivables blowouts; extreme negative during liquidations or payables stretch
-- **Implementation Example**: `ts_delta(divide(vec_avg({chng_non_cash_work_cap}), vec_avg({sales_rev_turn})), 63)`

-- **Why This Feature**: Shifts from finished goods to raw materials indicate anticipated demand changes or supply chain disruptions; opposite suggests production bottlenecks or demand shortfalls
-- **Logical Meaning**: Measures production pipeline dynamics and supply chain positioning
-- **Directionality**: Increasing raw materials ratio suggests bullish production outlook; increasing finished goods suggests potential overproduction
-- **Boundary Conditions**: Extreme values indicate supply chain crises (raw materials accumulation) or demand collapse (finished goods pile-up)
-- **Implementation Example**: `ts_delta(divide(vec_avg({invtry_raw_materials}), add(add(vec_avg({invtry_raw_materials}), vec_avg({invtry_in_progress})), vec_avg({invtry_finished_goods}))), 63)`
+- **Definition**: Rate of change in non-cash working capital relative to revenue growth over trailing 126 days
+- **Why This Feature**: Divergence between working capital needs and revenue growth indicates efficiency gains or deterioration in receivables/payables management
+- **Logical Meaning**: Measures whether the company is monetizing its working capital (positive divergence) or consuming cash to fund growth (negative)
+- **is filling nan necessary**: Working capital changes can be legitimately zero; fill only true missing values
+- **Directionality**: Positive divergence (working capital decreasing while revenue growing) indicates efficiency; negative suggests cash consumption
+- **Boundary Conditions**: Extreme values indicate one-time working capital events or seasonal distortions

 ### Q3: "What is anomalous?" (Deviation Features)
 
-**Concept**: Interest Expense Efficiency Gap
-- **Sample Fields Used**: is_int_expense, bs_st_borrow, bs_lt_borrow, eff_int_rate
-- **Definition**: Deviation of actual interest expense from predicted interest expense (effective rate × average debt)
-- **Why This Feature**: Anomalous gaps reveal financial engineering (capitalized interest), covenant violations triggering rate spikes, or non-standard debt instruments (convertibles, hybrids)
-- **Logical Meaning**: Identifies unexplained cost of debt deviations from contractual terms
-- **Directionality**: Positive values (actual > predicted) suggest hidden costs or rate spikes; negative values suggest interest capitalization or subsidized financing
-- **Boundary Conditions**: Large deviations indicate accounting classification issues or financial distress triggering penalty rates
-- **Implementation Example**: `subtract(divide(vec_avg({is_int_expense}), add(vec_avg({bs_st_borrow}), vec_avg({bs_lt_borrow}))), vec_avg({eff_int_rate}))`
-
-**Concept**: Receivables Turnover Z-Score
-- **Sample Fields Used**: accts_rec_excl_notes_rec, sales_rev_turn
-- **Definition**: Time-series z-score of receivables days (receivables/sales) relative to trailing 2-year history
-- **Why This Feature**: Unexplained lengthening of collection periods indicates customer financial stress, revenue recognition aggressiveness, or competitive pressure requiring relaxed terms
-- **Logical Meaning**: Statistical anomaly detection for collection efficiency
-- **Directionality**: High positive values indicate unusual receivables buildup (negative signal); negative values indicate unusual improvement
-- **Boundary Conditions**: Values beyond ±2 standard deviations suggest significant operational or accounting changes
-- **Implementation Example**: `ts_av_diff(divide(vec_avg({accts_rec_excl_notes_rec}), vec_avg({sales_rev_turn})), 504)`
+**Concept**: Comprehensive Income Divergence
+- **Sample Fields Used**: comprehensive_income, net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs
+- **Definition**: Absolute deviation of comprehensive income from net income, normalized by total assets
+- **Why This Feature**: Large deviations indicate significant unrealized gains/losses, foreign exchange impacts, or pension adjustments not captured in net income, signaling earnings quality issues

 ## Implementation Considerations
 
 ### Data Quality Notes
-- **Coverage**: Quarterly fundamental data covers approximately 85-95% of TOP3000 universe with lagged reporting for smaller-capitalization companies
-- **Timeliness**: Data updates with T+1 delay (field date reporting), though actual fiscal period end dates vary (fiscal year mismatches common)
-- **Accuracy**: Subject to restatements and amendments; annual data more reliable than quarterly due to audit requirements
-- **Potential Biases**: Survivorship bias in historical vectors due to delistings; sector-specific accounting differences (financials vs. industrials)
+- **Coverage**: Balance sheet items show 95%+ coverage; comprehensive income components and pension data show lower coverage (65-75%) due to disclosure variations
+- **Timeliness**: Quarterly data available with 45-60 day lag; annual data provides more complete lease obligation and pension disclosures
+- **Accuracy**: Cash flow data highly reliable due to direct cash tracking; accrual-based income statement items subject to estimate revisions
+- **Potential Biases**: Survivorship bias in historical data; backfilling may introduce look-ahead bias if not carefully managed
 
 ### Computational Complexity
-- **Lightweight features**: Single-period vector averages and simple ratios (e.g., `divide(vec_avg({bs_st_borrow}), vec_avg({bs_tot_asset}))`)
-- **Medium complexity**: Time-series operations on vector aggregates (e.g., `ts_corr`, `ts_std_dev` on vec_avg outputs with 252-day lookbacks)
-- **Heavy computation**: Multi-layered nested operations combining time-series and cross-sectional operators (e.g., `regression_neut` of `ts_delta` ratios)
+- **Lightweight features**: Single-field transformations (Interest Expense Stability, Capital Expenditure Acceleration)
+- **Medium complexity**: Multi-field arithmetic with time series smoothing (Debt Servicing Coverage, Asset Composition Efficiency)
+- **Heavy computation**: Long-horizon rolling sums and cross-sectional rankings (Cumulative Free Cash Generation, Comprehensive Income Gaussian Rank)
 
 ### Recommended Prioritization
 
 **Tier 1 (Immediate Implementation)**:
-1. **Cash Conversion Authenticity** - Core earnings quality measure with strong theoretical foundation and low computational overhead
-2. **Interest Expense Efficiency Gap** - Reveals financial distress signals and accounting anomalies early
-3. **Peer-Neutralized Profitability** - Essential for cross-sectional comparison in heterogeneous universes
+1. **Debt Servicing Coverage Ratio** - Direct distress predictor, high interpretability, uses high-quality cash flow data
+2. **Core Operating Cash Persistence** - Essential earnings quality metric, combines multiple statement types
+3. **Short-Term Debt Dependency Ratio** - Structural risk measure using reliable balance sheet data
 
 **Tier 2 (Secondary Priority)**:
-1. **Capital Structure Stability Coefficient** - Predicts distress but requires longer lookback windows
-2. **Tangible Capital Structure** - Critical for credit analysis but sector-dependent interpretation
-3. **Working Capital Velocity Acceleration** - Leading indicator but noisy in seasonal businesses
+1. **Comprehensive Income Divergence** - Important for financials and multinationals but lower coverage
+2. **Capital Expenditure Acceleration** - Growth signal but lumpy and sector-dependent
+3. **Effective Interest Rate Spread** - Efficiency metric but sensitive to debt classification
 
 **Tier 3 (Requires Further Validation)**:
-1. **Inventory Stage Transition Rate** - Data quality concerns on inventory breakdown granularity
-2. **Cumulative Capital Intensity** - Requires careful handling of negative base values (asset write-downs)
+1. **Abnormal Tax Effect Detection** - High noise-to-signal ratio due to discrete tax events
+2. **Operating Lease Commitment Concentration** - Forward-looking but limited to specific industries

 ## Critical Questions for Further Exploration
 
 ### Unanswered Questions:
-1. How do changes in accounting standards (IFRS 16 lease capitalization) affect the stability of historical `capital_lease_obligations` time series?
-2. Does the relationship between `is_fair_value_plan_assets` and pension expense predict future earnings volatility through corridor amortization?
-3. How does the vector length (number of historical periods available) vary across companies and does this create a data availability bias in time-series features?
+1. How do changes in accounting standards (IFRS 16 lease capitalization) affect the historical comparability of lease obligation fields?
+2. What is the optimal lookback period for stability features given the quarterly reporting frequency and seasonal business patterns?
+3. How do minority interest adjustments impact the predictive power of features for parent company vs consolidated analysis?
 
 ### Recommended Additional Data:
-- Segment-level financial data to disaggregate consolidated metrics by business line
-- Real-time credit facility drawdown data to supplement `bs_st_borrow` point-in-time snapshots
-- Management guidance and analyst estimate consensus to contextualize `sales_rev_turn` and `net_inc_avail_com_shrhldrs` surprises
+- Daily price and volume data to link fundamental signals to market reactions
+- Industry classification codes for sector-relative feature normalization
+- Analyst estimate data to compare realized fundamentals vs expectations
+- Credit default swap spreads or bond yields for external validation of solvency features
 
 ### Assumptions to Challenge:
-- That quarterly reporting frequency is sufficient to capture rapidly changing fundamentals (may need intra-quarter estimations)
-- That GAAP/IFRS convergence eliminates comparability issues between US and international listings
-- That historical cost-based `bs_tot_asset` is comparable across time periods given inflation and technological change
+- That quarterly data points can be linearly interpolated without loss of information for time series calculations
+- That comprehensive income divergence is always negative (some OCI components may be predictable hedges)
+- That short-term debt is always riskier than long-term (in rising rate environments, short-term may offer flexibility)
