Inline XBRL technical
"Cover Page Interactive Data File (embedded within the Inline XBRL document)."
Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.

webcast replay financial
"A webcast replay will be available for 30 days."
A webcast replay is a recorded version of a live online presentation or event that can be watched at any time after the original broadcast. It allows viewers to review important information or updates at their convenience, much like watching a recorded TV show instead of tuning in live. For investors, it provides easy access to key company announcements, earnings reports, or industry updates whenever they choose to review them.
