Abstract
Balance Sheets and Annual Financial Reports play a major role in determining the public worth of any company. In the wake of corporate scandals such as Enron and WorldCom, the US and other countries passed legislation governing reporting processes. The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (hereafter SOX) requires US national securities exchange and US national security associations not to list any securities of any issuer that is not in compliance with the act. In this paper, we present a business process-based solution to the SOX compliance problem and offer evidence that such a solution is feasible through an industrial case study. The proposed solution aims to support SOX reporting requirements based on core business processes and a continuous improvement of the company's adopted business processes. This means that the solution integrates SOX-related tasks into the "daily work" of a company, rather than achieve compliance on a project basis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
