The paper investigates using a small language model (SBERT) for invoice categorisation, showing that fine‑tuning on a single GPU yields 0.96 accuracy and 0.9 F1 with about 100 client‑specific invoices. It analyses the embedding geometry, finding that the sentence‑embedding space is globally anisotropic but locally isotropic, with clusters strongly linked to vendor identity. The study demonstrates that an in‑house SLM can outperform zero‑shot LLMs and vendor baselines while improving cost, security, and interpretability.

Financial disclosures contain numerical claims, temporal statements, entity references, policy commitments, and risk descriptions that may conflict in qualitatively different ways. Detecting a conflict is only the first step: review workflows may also need to determine its type, since numerical, temporal, referential, factual, and normative inconsistencies require different evidence and downstream checks.

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.
