Sources — where every figure on this page comes from (24 dated figures)
The 24 rows below are exactly the facts the dated sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Every figure in those sections is stored with the date it is true for and the source it came from, and derived figures restate their arithmetic. The quarterly income statement is reprinted as filed under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 1-9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. Where a cached provider read carries no stamp of its own, the as-of is this page's own content date and the source column says so.
