Financial Report Pieces
"Paper is just an object that information has been sprayed onto in the past." Ted Nelson
A financial report (a.k.a. financial statement, general purpose financial statement) is a tool designed by humans. Financial reports are knowledge graphs.

For the first time in 7,000 years, both humans and machines can reliably understand information, to a certain degree, being exchanged by these tools. Algorithmic regulation is really a thing.- List of Microsoft financial reports submitted to the SEC from 2009 to 2021
- List of disclosures for US GAAP
- Disclosure mechanics rules for specifying and identifying US GAAP disclosures
- One specific disclosure mechanics rule from above list
- Human readable HTML rendering of report, XBRL Cloud Evidence Package
- Verification of mathematical rules, UBmatrix XPE 4.0
- Logical contracts verification of report, verification result
- Algorithm (simple version)
- Read a report from the list of Microsoft reports, like this one
- From that report, read the taxonomy schema which specifies the report model, this.
- From the taxonomy schema, read the presentation relations, this.
- Using the list of disclosures for US GAAP and the disclosure mechanics rules; iterate through the XBRL presentation relations of the Microsoft report model to identify each of the disclosures in the Microsoft by name.
