The paper introduces an expert‑annotated dataset of 42 U.S. federal tax opinions on corporate reorganizations under I.R.C. §368, marking the first tree‑structured argument corpus in this domain. Each legal passage is labeled with one of five functional categories—Rule, Analysis, Conclusion, Background Facts, and Procedural History—and can be linked into directed support trees. Experiments demonstrate that functional labels are learnable and that supervised fine‑tuning improves within‑case retrieval, though cross‑case generalization remains weak.

The paper introduces a training‑free, alignment‑free method for corporate intelligence that uses deterministic sparse seed vectors to hash word strings into a fixed high‑dimensional basis. By accumulating these seed vectors across sentence contexts, the authors create corpus‑specific semantic signatures that enable rapid document comparison, issuer fingerprinting, vocabulary shift tracking, and thematic sentence extraction—all on standard CPU hardware. Applied to a multi‑year set of SEC filings, the approach reveals distinct semantic profiles for major corporate events such as Boeing’s 737 MAX crisis, Intel’s supply‑chain disruptions, and Bunge’s acquisition of Viterra, with each profile traceable to its source sentences without any domain‑specific training or LLM inference.

Scope3Trace is an evidence‑grounded information extraction framework that identifies and extracts Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from corporate sustainability reports. It combines PDF collection, OCR parsing, LLM‑assisted page localization, table reconstruction, and a hybrid rule‑LLM extraction process with evidence verification to produce interpretable, traceable emissions data. The authors also release a multimodal dataset of organization‑level Scope 3 disclosures extracted from diverse reports, demonstrating high accuracy in retrieving Scope 1‑3 totals and category‑level details.
