Who publishes this.

The Filings is edited and produced by Paul, founder of Aqidium LLC. Background in software engineering and forensic-document research; the channel is the documents-first publication he wished existed when first reading SEC restatements as primary source material.

Editorial direction, source selection, fact-check chain, and final approval at concept, script, and render stages are personal. The channel is AI-assisted, not AI-authored — see the Editorial standards page for the full disclosure.

The Filings is a venture of Aqidium LLC, a Delaware company. Aqidium operates as the publisher of record for legal, billing, and compliance purposes (DMCA agent, defamation correspondence, takedown requests).

Aqidium runs other ventures unrelated to The Filings. None of them appear on this site by design — see aqidium.com for the parent.

Channel revenue, when it begins, comes from YouTube Partner Program, sponsorships explicitly labeled at the top of the affected episode, and a future direct-support tier (no Patreon-only paywall pre-YPP — see Standards §5 for why).

No paid promotion of any kind. No sponsored coverage of subjects under active investigation. No affiliate revenue tied to securities or financial products.

No financial position is held by the editor or by Aqidium LLC in any company covered on this channel during the production window of any episode about it. Disclosure of any historical position, where relevant, will appear on the episode page in plain text.

No paid relationships with law firms, audit firms, regulators, or short sellers. Reporting relationships, where they exist, are stated on the episode page.

General contact, press inquiries, citation queries, and takedown requests: [email protected]. Routes to the Aqidium umbrella inbox; replies come from the editor directly.

Corrections: [email protected] with subject "[CORRECTION]" and the episode number — see Standards §6. Material corrections are also acknowledged in the next episode's opening.

Episodes start with a primary-source corpus — a 10-K addendum, a deferred-prosecution agreement, a Chapter 11 docket, a congressional transcript — and reconstruct the story the document tells. Documents first, narrative second, AI third.

Two model passes per script: a drafting model writes the claim with a primary-source URL and quoted excerpt; a second independent model re-fetches the source and verifies the quote and locator. Claims that fail are revised or removed before recording. See Standards §4.

Every uploaded episode carries the YouTube synthetic-content metadata flag per their policy effective 2025-07-15.
