Everything you need to check us before you quote us.
Yearover compares SEC filings and counts language across them. This page says what we publish, who is behind it, how to cite it and how to reach a person, so nothing here has to be taken on trust.
What Yearover is
Yearover reads a company's new SEC filing against its previous one and publishes what changed, with the passage behind every claim and every figure taken from the filing's own XBRL data. It also counts one countable thing at a time across the whole filing population, and publishes the count with the method and the list it rests on.
- A study counts one phrase or disclosure across every company that filed, states its universe and cut-off date, and publishes the frozen list and the snapshot the figures were computed from.
- A report compares two filings of one company and shows each change beside the filing text it comes from.
Yearover describes what filings say. It is not investment advice, it does not tell you what a company will do next, and it puts no company above another.
Who runs it
Yearover is built by Gorkem Yagci and operated by Shiftbase Labs Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, number 17027574. A named person stands behind the output because a source a journalist cannot reach is not a source.
Questions, corrections and requests for the underlying data. A person reads it.
How to cite
Every study and every change on a report page carries a citation block you can lift as it stands: the claim or the quoted filing sentence, the source with its accession number and date, and a link. The example below is the current study's block, rendered from the study itself.
Cite Yearover as the source of the count and the filings as the source of the words. A figure in a study is our arithmetic on public filings; the filings are on SEC.gov and every row we publish carries the accession number that finds it.

Corrections
If a figure or a quote does not hold, write to hello@yearover.com and say which page and which line. A correction is published on the changelog with its date, and the page it affects is fixed rather than quietly edited.
