Why the scope is selective
The collector uses SEC filings for dividend and financial facts. Companies without the relevant SEC coverage will not automatically gain complete Canadian filing histories. Instrument metadata from OpenFIGI helps identify securities but does not supply dividend events.
What “latest” means here
A latest observed payment term is the most recent stated payment date among the collected active declarations for a stock. It is not a guarantee that the issuer’s newest announcement has been captured. Snapshot dates describe extraction; individual source dates describe the underlying facts.
What is not inferred
We do not infer missing ex-dates, annual payment totals, payment frequency, tax classification or dividend safety. Gaps do not establish suspensions. Null is not zero.
How the collection grows
New records must preserve their identity, source, currency and date meaning. Broader public pages require review of the data mapping and useful substantive content. Source access and reuse terms must be checked before new providers are added.
