Term	Kind	Topic	What it is
Point-in-Time Reconstruction As-At Reporting, Reproducible Submission	practice	Regulatory Reporting Pipelines	The ability to regenerate a past report from the data and rules as they stood then - without which a regenerated figure differs from the submitted one and the difference cannot be explained.
Regulatory Reporting Pipeline	concept	Regulatory Reporting Pipelines	A data pipeline whose output goes to a regulator, where correctness, reproducibility and demonstrable lineage matter more than latency or elegance.
Restatement Record Correction Record, Submission Versioning	practice	Regulatory Reporting Pipelines	Preserving the original submission alongside its correction, with the reason and the difference explicable - so that a restated figure strengthens the audit trail instead of destroying it.
Submission Deadline Architecture	concept	Regulatory Reporting Pipelines	Designing a reporting pipeline around a fixed external deadline, where late is a breach and the recovery window is part of the schedule rather than a contingency.
