Knowledge Objects — Hyper-Advanced Dividend Edition

1. Confirm listing: ticker + exchange (avoid ADR/local mix).
2. Confirm stance: are you asking for gross or net?
3. Use Tier-1 source: company release/exchange notice when available.
4. Store DividendEvent.v2: include dates + amount + currency + source + as-of.
5. Run self-check: date order, missing fields, conflicts flagged.

4.1 Suggested scoring formula

Copy
ConfidenceScore (0–100) =
  TierScore + FreshnessScore + CompletenessScore - ConflictPenalty

TierScore:
  Tier 1 = +45
  Tier 2 = +30
  Tier 3 = +15

FreshnessScore (days since AsOf):
  0–7 days = +25
  8–30 days = +15
  31–90 days = +5
  >90 days = +0

CompletenessScore:
  all required fields present = +25
  else = +10

ConflictPenalty:
  0 conflicts = 0
  1 conflict = 15
  2 conflicts = 25
  3+ conflicts = 40

Label:
  80–100 = High
  55–79  = Medium
  <55    = Low

4.2 Usage rules

• Always show the label (High/Medium/Low) with the answer.
• If Low: explicitly say what’s missing and what would raise confidence.
• Never hide conflicts—flag them and cite both sources.

6.1 Audit trail requirements

• For each output field, note source and as-of.
• When conflicts exist: show both values and precedence decision.
• Keep a Decision KO for recurring precedence choices.

6.2 Reconcile procedure KO

Copy
Please remember this as a knowledge object:
ID: PROC-DIV-RECONCILE-AUDIT-001
Version: 1.0
Type: Procedure
Content:
  - Tier precedence: Tier1 > Tier2 > Tier3
  - If Tier1 exists: use Tier1 and cite it.
  - If only Tier2: label “not confirmed by company release”.
  - If conflict: present both values; default to Tier1; ask user which to prioritize only if needed.
  - Output must include: GrossOrNet label + Confidence label + Source + AsOf.
Scope: Remember
Valid until: until changed

7.1 Minimum automation workflow

1. Maintain a watchlist KO (tickers + primary listings).
2. On schedule (daily/weekly): check for new releases (manual or via feeds).
3. If new dividend info: create a new DividendEvent.v2 KO and version it.
4. Run confidence scoring + tests.
5. Publish summary to your channel (email/Teams note).

7.2 Watchlist KO

Copy
Please remember this as a knowledge object:
ID: WATCH-DIV-001
Version: 1.0
Type: Project
Content:
  - Watchlist: [VAR, EQNR, AKRBP]
  - Default listing: Oslo Børs (XOSL)
  - Timezone: Europe/Oslo
  - Output: summary + key dates + sources
Scope: Remember

8.1 Unit tests (behavioral)

Copy
Unit Tests

A) Listing ambiguity
- Input: “Next dividend for Vår Energi?”
- Expected: Ask which listing (VAR vs ADR).

B) Not announced
- Input: “Next dividend for VAR?” when no Tier1 announcement
- Expected: Say “not announced” + next catalyst date.

C) Net request
- Input: “How much net?”
- Expected: Ask residency + account type; label gross/net.

D) Conflict
- Input: two different ex-dates
- Expected: Flag conflict, prefer Tier1, show both, ask priority if needed.

8.2 Property tests (invariants)

Copy
Property Tests (Invariants)

1) Date sanity
- DeclarationDate <= ExDate <= RecordDate <= PayDate (if present)

2) No cross-listing mix
- If listing differs, do not combine currency/dates across listings.

3) Output completeness
- Answer must contain: amount, currency, ex-date, pay-date, source, as-of.

4) Confidence label
- Every answer includes High/Medium/Low and why.

9.1 No-assumptions dividend request

Copy
Dividend request (no assumptions)
Company/Ticker:
Listing:
As-of date:
Question:
Constraints:
- Use Tier1 sources where possible.
- If not announced: say “not announced” + next catalyst date.
- Default to gross unless I ask net.
Output:
- 1-line summary
- bullets: amount, currency, ex-date, record-date (if available), pay-date
- confidence label + why
- cite source

9.2 Conflict resolver

Copy
Two sources disagree:
Source A (tier?):
Source B (tier?):
Please:
1) classify tiers,
2) list conflicts,
3) apply precedence,
4) produce answer with confidence label,
5) ask one clarifying question only if needed.
