A reproducible, primary-sourced, descriptive scorecard that sets the pay of the S it records the documented gaps and lets the reader conclude. Built free from SEC EDGAR Pay-vs-Performance disclosures (98 of 100 machine-readable, 539 company-years; the remaining two, AMT and Intel, extracted from the rendered proxy text and verified to primary), with 29 companies hand-curated for board targets and a payout-metric-type column so a cash-bonus percentage and a PSU-vesting percentage are never conflated. Findings include: highest-paid is a measurement choice (granted versus realized re-orders the league table - Musk's headline pay is 0 USD, his realized pay at Tesla about 49.7 billion USD); above or at-target bonuses paid while the stock lagged the board's own peers (Apple, Microsoft, Intel - the last in a loss year); pay that tracked delivery downward (UnitedHealth's 0 percent LTI); four absolute decliners where shareholders lost money; and a founder archetype (Meta) for whom payout-versus-target is undefined. Version 0.3 follows an independent cross-model red-team: the AMT and Intel manual tail was resolved (their tables proved extractable from the rendered proxy text and were verified to primary), and a payout-metric-type column was added to the curated layer; no headline figure changed. Method lineage: the author's Forecast Scorecard and IPO Marks-vs-Reality Ledger, pointed at executive pay. Descriptive analysis, not investment advice. Disclosure: the author holds no direct position in any company named; a workplace defined-contribution pension may hold some of these names indirectly through pooled funds the author does not direct.
