Overview
Rohit's day-to-day work at S&P Global involves extracting structured data from financial and non-financial documents using a predefined framework of checkpoints. The framework covers the majority of cases, but edge cases arise when documents from different regulatory jurisdictions use terminology that does not map cleanly to the standard definitions.
The Story
Rohit's day-to-day work at S&P Global involves extracting structured data from financial and non-financial documents using a predefined framework of checkpoints. The framework covers the majority of cases, but edge cases arise when documents from different regulatory jurisdictions use terminology that does not map cleanly to the standard definitions.
In one instance, he encountered a financial document where a specific data point used terminology that differed from the framework's standard language, but referred to the same underlying concept. The difference was rooted in how financial regulations are structured in that particular jurisdiction.
Rather than skipping the data point or flagging it as unresolvable, Rohit researched the regulatory context, confirmed that the terminology was functionally equivalent to the framework's definition, and captured the data point accordingly.
He then shared the finding with his team. The resolution became part of the team's shared knowledge base, expanding the collective understanding of how similar cross-jurisdictional edge cases should be handled in future.
