01. Problem & ContextThe Operating Challenge
Academic researchers studying climate disclosure compliance needed financial statements and audit reports from six years of STOXX Europe 600 annual reports (2018–2023) converted into structured NLP datasets. Manual coding across thousands of unstructured PDF pages was impossible.
02. Architecture & SolutionTechnical Implementation
Developed an automated data pipeline using PyMuPDF and LLM-backed section identification. Built an explicit page-level provenance tracking layer so that any extracted sentence in the final NLP dataset could be traced back directly to its exact page in the source PDF.
03. Measurable ImpactResults & Verification
Extracted 6.3M+ structured paragraphs across STOXX Europe 600 corporate filings, serving as the empirical foundation for SSRN 4763140.
