Build historical disclosure lineage
filedproof.build_disclosure_lineageBuild or reuse a persisted disclosure history for one issuer and topic, with deterministic per-filing fingerprints and same-form transition edges backed by exact SEC evidence. Use this when historical evolution or repeat reuse matters. Use filedproof.compare_filings for a one-off exact filing pair, filedproof.build_timeline for simple chronology without reusable transition state, or filedproof.build_disclosure_matrix when the objective is comparison across multiple companies. Structural change is not a materiality judgment.
