I've read many SEC filings (mostly 10-Ks, 8-Ks and 4-Qs), and I led a project to develop an UIMA-based analysis platform for them.

What is shocking is the lack of diligence that companies can get away with. The "risk" section (ยง6 of Form 10-K) is often token info copy-&-pasted from other filings, notably from competitors, instead of having an entity's actual risks in it.

Good luck with the business!

Thanks! Yes, we keep track of risk factors that are just copy-pasted across companies. There is so much of it!
