One PRIIPs KID in 28 versions, from the data template to signed
Quillfield Global Funds SICAV's prospectus update takes effect on Monday, November 2: ongoing costs fall for 31 sub-funds after the September 24 fee review, and every document carries a new complaints address. All 4,212 versions are reissued for publication on Friday, October 30. Here is Monday, October 19, screen by screen, in the working solution.

The cycle clock, and five things that need her
Nadia Okafor · KID Production ManagerNadia's home shows the reissue on one line, from the prospectus approved on October 9 to the effective date, with 9 business days left to publication. 3,212 of 4,212 versions are signed and scheduled, 47 are blocked by a mismatch, 388 are in language review (12 past the 2-day service level) and 6 risk second opinions disagree with the calculation provider. Each item under “Needs you” has one next step: see the mismatch, regenerate 18, nudge reviewers, open fund data, retry the Nordic portal.
Overnight, the Numeric consistency agent: “Read 4,212 rendered versions back and checked every figure against its master and the data template. 47 mismatches in 47 share classes.”
- 02October 13–14
Every figure in the master is pinned to its data row
Drafting agentJonas Weber accepted the fund administrator's EPT v2.1 file at 6:05 p.m. on October 13: 612 records, 598 complete. The next day the Drafting agent built 598 English masters and held 14 for incomplete records. For Euro High Yield, Class A EUR Acc, the record explorer shows each field beside the previous KID: row 118, ongoing costs, now 1.21% against 1.30% before the fee review. The master's 22 key figures each point to their row, and it fits on three sides of A4.
“The fund data template (EPT v2.1) from the fund administrator: one record per share class, every figure in a KID comes from a row here.”
- 03One decision
18 stale figures fixed by cause, not one by one
Nadia Okafor and the Numeric consistency agentChecks groups the 47 mismatches by cause: stale figure 18, number format 11, transposed digits 9, meaning drift 5, risk indicator 4. In 18 versions the transaction-cost sentence still matches the February 2026 KID, because translation memory offered the old sentence. Nadia regenerates all 18 in one step, and the run shows itself: the plan, the sentence rebuilt from row 121, each language rewritten with its locked phrases, 18 pages re-rendered and read back — 18 of 18 match.
“Handed to 6 reviewers for approval · nothing publishes until each approves.”
- 04The wall
28 language versions on one screen — 27 of 28 match
Nadia Okafor · KID Production ManagerQuillfield Euro High Yield UCITS, Class A EUR Acc (LU2471836598) opens as a wall of its 28 versions in 23 languages. Each page carries its key figures in the market's own format: SRI 3, ongoing costs “1,21 %”, the moderate scenario at four years “11.520 €” in Germany and “11'520 €” in Switzerland. One tile is red. The release gate across the top reads 27 of 28, release blocked, and the Sign share class button stays locked.
Back-translation checker: “Back-translated all 27: 1,107 sentence pairs, every one above the 0.92 meaning threshold (lowest 0.94, Finnish). The Polish cost sentence means what the master means; only its number differs.”
- 05She asks
“Why is Polish blocked?” — answered with its sources
Numeric consistency agentNadia asks the agents beside the wall. The Polish version prints ongoing costs of 1,12%; the master and the data template say 1.21%. The amount beside it, 117 EUR, still matches 1.21%, so the percentage is the error: two digits transposed in the language vendor's post-edit, job TR-88412. The other 61 numbers match. Each claim links to row 118, the master page and the Polish page.
- 06Side by side
The English master, the Polish as printed, and the Polish back in English
Translation agent and Back-translation checkerThe compare view lines up every sentence: the English master, the Polish as printed and a translation back to English on a second model, each number tagged with its data row. The checks strip reads numbers 61 of 62, meaning 41 of 41 sentences at or above 0.92, locked phrases 12 of 12, three sides of A4, paying agent and complaints text present. The Translation agent adds that its own draft of October 14 read 1,21% and proposes setting the figure back. Nadia cannot approve it.
“Language approvals belong to the Polish reviewer.”
- 079:12 a.m.
The Polish reviewer approves the correction
Marta Zielińska · Translation reviewer, PolishMarta reviews the Polish versions for 146 share classes a cycle. She sees the one line that changes — 1,12% to 1,21% wartości Twojej inwestycji rocznie — with EPT row 118, master page 2 and the vendor's post-edit as its sources. She approves with reason code L2, Approved after correction, and signs through single sign-on.
“Matches the master and EPT row 118. The agent re-checks the whole version after you approve.”
- 08Seconds later
62 of 62 numbers re-checked, and the wall turns green
Numeric consistency agentThe correction is applied on page 2, the Polish PDF is re-rendered on three sides of A4, all 62 numbers are read back against the master and row 118, the meaning is re-checked at 0.98, and the wall updates: 28 of 28 versions match. Marta's decision, its reason code and her signature are on the record.
- 09Signed
Compliance signs only what has been proven
Robert Hale · Head of Product ComplianceWith every version matched, the Sign share class button opens for Robert. The sign-off shows what he is signing: 28 of 28 versions match the master, 28 approved by their language reviewers, 1,736 numbers proven against the data template. He signs with S1, All versions match and reviewed. The Release agent schedules the share class for Friday, October 30, 6:00 a.m. CET, to six channels, from the fund documents site and distributor portals to the UK feed and the archive.
“Signing does not let you edit content.”
- 10A second opinion
The risk indicator recomputed — and a person decides
Risk and scenario agentThe Risk and scenario agent recomputed the risk indicator, scenarios and costs for all 612 share classes from NAV history and cost data: 606 agree with the calculation provider. For Emerging Markets Local Debt, Class A EUR Acc, it finds a VaR-equivalent volatility of 12.3% against 11.8% supplied, because the provider used weekly returns for January 2022 when nine daily NAVs were missing. That crosses the 12% line from risk class 3 to 4; accepting class 4 would reissue 41 versions across both of its share classes. Claire Fontaine, product governance, decides.
“Product governance decides; the agent never overrides the provider.”
