Revision

A regulator amending a previously published figure; both the old and new values are archived here and revised figures carry a marker.

Regulators sometimes re-publish a past date with different numbers: a late notification, a correction, a re-dissemination. Our daily re-read of a trailing window detects any change to a figure already published, records the old value, the new value and the date the change was seen, and marks the figure as revised on the company page.

A revision is the regulator's, never ours: our own corrections to how a figure is computed are documented separately and never dressed up as a regulator's change.

Position date vs publication date: The position date is the day a short position existed; the publication date is the day the regulator released the figure. They are never the same day.
