Why can't that interpretation be done earlier in the process and then put into the database?

Isn't it the same amount of transactions to be interpreted no matter what the reporting period is?

Do you understand that as a legal matter these must be good faith representations of the current state to the best of your knowledge? You can’t serve up intentionally stale information without inviting legal repercussions. The preparation process takes weeks. This is a very serious legal matter.

These are being revised and updated right up until the point they are released to provide the most accurate reporting possible.

You gravely underestimate the legal seriousness of these reports.

The category changes over time?

So let's try to think of solutions instead of giving up. A law that requires daily disclosure can change how the reporting works so you don't need to update those category decisions 200 times.

> You can’t serve up intentionally stale information without inviting legal repercussions.

> These are being revised and updated right up until the point they are released to provide the most accurate reporting possible.

> You gravely underestimate the legal seriousness of these reports.

All of these seem look like an argument for additional automation.

It is not a technology problem.

Does the technology already exist? Things are almost never only a tech issue alone. That does not mean tech can not help, even if the tech that would help is currently impractical. What is impractical now though may not be in 10, 20, 50 years.

Going over what I quoted:

> You can’t serve up intentionally stale information without inviting legal repercussions.

Keeping information fresh and up to date is something technology has helped with in many areas. If there is a reasons why it can not help here then I an interested in why or that the current tech already does a good enough job in this area.

> These are being revised and updated right up until the point they are released to provide the most accurate reporting possible.

Technology can help verify last minute changes, running a test suite for example or similar. How hard that is to make or maintain though may make impractical.

> You gravely underestimate the legal seriousness of these reports.

Having an audit trail and known processes may be helpful here too if the current tooling is not adequate.

I quoted parts of the comment that looked like areas where tech has already helped in other areas. What I want to find out are details about what exists, why people think it can not be better, or why pervious attempts have failed, or why things are currently optimal.
