  • It can (typically) maintain Version Control for data updates, restatements, and correction history.
  • ...

  • It can range from being a Basic Financial Data-Citation Verification Protocol to being a Comprehensive Financial Data-Citation Verification Protocol, depending on its financial validation depth.
  • It can range from being a Post-Hoc Financial Data-Citation Verification Protocol to being a Real-Time Financial Data-Citation Verification Protocol, depending on its financial verification timing.
