Tables And Figures

A financial statement has a dense table. The integrator gets back the table as a flat run of numbers with no row/column structure and tries to re-impose a grid by counting tokens.

Consume Reducto's structured table output (rows x columns, ideally as HTML/Markdown table or a cell matrix) rather than re-gridding a flattened number stream. Validate that row/column counts match the visible table on a sample. A mis-aligned grid silently maps values to wrong headers.

A table spans pages 7-9 with the header row repeated on each page. The integrator treats each page's slice as an independent table and re-counts the header row as data three times.

Stitch continued tables across page breaks into one logical table and de-duplicate repeated header rows. Treating page slices independently double-counts headers and fragments the table for retrieval. Verify on a known multi-page table that the stitched row count is correct. Treat automatic table-s…

A table has a header cell that spans three columns and a row label that spans two rows. The integrator assumes a rectangular grid and mis-aligns every value under the spanned header.

Handle merged/spanning cells per the documented table model (colspan/rowspan or repeated values) rather than assuming a flat rectangular grid. Verify spanned-header tables specifically, since they are the highest-risk for silent misalignment. Treat the exact spanning-cell representation as [REQUIRE…
