Proxy Summary Compensation Table Reading Guide and Peer Build Worksheet

Proxy filings in, cited peer CFO rows out. The PDF guide walks through a DEF 14A Summary Compensation Table column by column under Regulation S-K Item 402, from salary through total, and explains how to find the filing on EDGAR and confirm which row is the principal financial officer. The Excel worksheet logs each filing and records peer CFO rows as filed. It flags 'Treasurer'-only, former and interim titles for your review, checks your entered components against the filed total, counts distinct employers per year against a 5-employer minimum, and exports the valid rows with a 'Sources:' line. It ships with no peer pay data: every figure in it is one you read from a filing and cite yourself.
