CIK, required form type, reporting period and deadline are sealed at registration. Nothing about what gets checked can be reshaped later.
A filing deadline isn't met until EDGAR says so.
Lock a recurring SEC disclosure obligation to a company’s own CIK. Independent validators fetch EDGAR’s submissions record directly — never a link you supply — and judge whether the required filing landed on time.
Bound to a CIK, not a link.
The evidence source is never chosen by whoever files the obligation.
The fetch URL is built only from the locked CIK — data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK{10-digit}.json. No submitter link ever enters the contract.
Validators re-fetch EDGAR fresh and agree via GenLayer’s comparative equivalence principle on the exact matched filing, form and date — not a rounded-off summary.
Missing evidence is never a violation.
Required form filed on or before the sealed deadline.
Filed, but after the deadline had already passed.
Deadline passed with no matching filing in EDGAR's record.
EDGAR unreachable, ambiguous, or the CIK didn't confirm.
