Why this matters now
Chat-with-PDF habits are moving to filings, but a 300-page 10-K breaks generic PDF chat through context truncation and silent cross-document failures.
ThesisLoop research prompt
Answer questions about [company] from its full indexed filing set, citing the exact passage behind each answer and declining where the documents are silent.
Start with this promptEvidence checks
Confirm every answer cites the exact filing section or transcript passage it came from.
Ask a question the documents cannot answer and check the tool refuses instead of guessing.
Test long-filing behavior — generic PDF chat truncates 10-Ks and silently drops late sections.
Ask cross-document questions (this year's 10-K versus the prior year's, filing versus filing) and verify all sources are actually consulted.
Research questions
What did management commit to last year, and where is that commitment in the documents?
What changed in the risk factors versus the prior annual filing?
How is the segment mix shifting, and which disclosures show it?
Does the Q&A cover the company's full filing set, or one PDF at a time?
