  12. What this report does not include
  • You receive — one analysis report PDF and the 2 source FDD PDFs, 3 downloads in total, available immediately after purchase.
  • Every figure is checkable — each carries a citation to its filing, FDD Item, and PDF page, and the filings it cites are in the package.
  • Restatements are shown, not overwritten — where a later filing revises an earlier year's figures, both numbers appear with a note.
  • Calculated figures are labeled — anything the report calculates rather than quotes is marked as calculated, with its formula published in the report.
  • Gaps are explicit — a closing “What this report does not include” section separates what the franchisor didn't disclose from what this report doesn't collect, so an absence is never ambiguous.
Note:The multi-year FDD Analysis Reports compare a brand's consecutive annual FDD filings with year-over-year changes. Every figure is machine-read from source FDDs with a cited page from the source FDD. Machine reading can misread, so verify any figure you intend to rely on against the cited page. These reports are not legal, financial or investment advice, are not a recommendation to enter into, decline, finance or exit any franchise relationship, and are not a substitute for reading the FDDs or consulting qualified advisors.
