- 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.
