What we detect

A multiplier change matching a standing ForwardSplit record whose unit ratio reconciles with the multipliers.

Evidence required

  • A standing record matching both multipliers and the activation time.
  • M_old × (toUnits ÷ fromUnits) equals M_new within 4ε. With no published ratio, the factor is derived and a warning says so.

When evidence is missing or conflicts

  • A ratio that does not reconcile: unclassified.
  • A split record publishing cash: recognised as fractional cash in lieu, and not booked.

How it is booked

Units ×factor. The protected floor ×factor. Zero income.

In practice

NFLXx 10:1, VUGx 6:1, KLACx 10:1, CRWDx 4:1 and others, each reconciled to the issuer unit ratio.
