Known Limitations

• Form 4 transaction details — Full transaction details (share price, transaction type, ownership change) require parsing the Form 4 XML document. Current tool returns filing metadata. Full XML parsing is on the roadmap.
• XBRL lag — Financial facts extracted from XBRL have ~1-2 day lag vs raw filing
• Company name matching — Use exact company name with Inc/Ltd/Corp suffix for best results
