All statistics are derived from automated text extraction of FINRA arbitration award PDFs. No consistent formatting standard exists across these documents — outcomes, dollar amounts, and case classifications are identified through pattern matching against raw text. Results may be incomplete or miscategorized where award language is non-standard, ambiguous, or where OCR quality is poor (common in pre-2013 scanned documents). Treat all figures as directionally informative, not authoritative.
