Holding company subsidiary snapshot data for AI
A public list of subsidiaries describes a particular disclosure.
NAICS 551112 · Offices of Other Holding Companies
A public list of subsidiaries describes a particular disclosure. A proposed transaction does not establish that the list changed. EDGAR includes dated exhibits listing subsidiaries. A holding company can build a fictional timeline where an assistant identifies which source and period support each statement. Example SEC-filed subsidiary exhibit
Invent a parent and two entities with similar names. Add a proposed ownership change, a later verified closing record for only one, and two disclosure dates. Ask which relationships are documented and what remains unknown. Keep corporate, economic and reporting scope separate in the answer key.
Use no unpublished transactions, beneficial owner details, actual negotiations, private entity lists, or forecasts. Keep legal and filing decisions outside the sample.
Describe a corporate records exercise
Original Fiund exercise
Separate a disclosed relationship from a proposed acquisition
An invented holding company has similarly named affiliates. Its package contains a dated disclosure, a proposal and one completed transaction record. The assistant must keep the evidence for each relationship separate.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| LIST-D1 | Original fictional disclosure | At day 1, Harbor Holdings lists Pine Works LLC as its subsidiary. Pine Works Services LLC is not listed. |
| PROPOSE-D3 | Invented planning note | A team proposes acquiring Pine Works Services LLC. The note is labeled unapproved and supplies no closing date. |
| CLOSE-D8 | Original completion record | A completed transaction on day 8 concerns Pine Works Distribution LLC. Its exact legal name differs from both other entities. |
| LIST-D10 | Later fictional disclosure | At day 10, the list names Pine Works LLC and Pine Works Distribution LLC. It makes no statement about Pine Works Services LLC. |
Question for the model
Which two subsidiary relationships are supported by LIST-D10? Does the package establish that Pine Works Services LLC became a subsidiary?
Show the reference answer and checks
LIST-D10 supports the stated day-10 listing of Pine Works LLC and Pine Works Distribution LLC. CLOSE-D8 supplies a separate completed event for Distribution. Nothing supplied establishes a completed acquisition or listed relationship for Services. PROPOSE-D3 is a planning note, and the similar names do not connect Services to Distribution's transaction. Preserve the exact entity names and the disclosure date. The absence of Services from a list also does not establish every possible legal or economic relationship involving it.
- Merging the Services and Distribution entities because their names share a prefix.
- Converting the proposed acquisition into a completed relationship.
- Using the day-1 disclosure to answer an explicitly day-10 listing question.
Fields to preserve
- Exact entity identity
- Keep a stable fictional identifier in addition to the displayed name.
- Disclosure date
- State which snapshot supports the answer.
- Event status
- Preserve the difference between a proposal and a supplied completion record.
- Relationship scope
- Describe only the listed relationship, without inferring reporting or beneficial-ownership treatment.
Test another case
Replace CLOSE-D8 with a canceled transaction and leave the later list unavailable. Test whether the assistant retains the earlier supported listing and leaves the new relationship unresolved.
All names and transactions are invented for source-matching practice. The example provides no legal ownership determination, filing advice or disclosure of an actual corporate structure. Real archives need source-specific authority and transaction-confidentiality review.
