#84This is fun. Seems like you got several comments here trying to "improve" it's "usefulness". I like it as is, a piece of art on how corporate speak is unrealistically obtuse.

#86Our corpo year starts May 1. Please add an offset functionality to your free solution immediately, as it has now become a core component of our operation, or we will be forced to take legal action. Also, we appreciate if you could sign a retroactive NDA with our legal team ASAP.

It's been... almost 20 years since I looked at that. I believe that it had a slightly floating start date.

It looks like they had a 14-week quarter from April 27, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Given that there's only one 14-week quarter in the data set (which is about what you'd expect) I can't figure out what the rule is, but oh well. Apparently financial analysts are (or were) surprised when that extra week leads to corresponding changes for other metrics: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01654...
