#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ query_asof.py — point-in-time query helper for the Tradevo Data sample dataset. Answers the only question that makes a fundamental backtest honest: "What did I ACTUALLY KNOW about this company as of date X?" It returns, for each concept, the most recent value that had already been *filed* (made public) on or before your as-of date — so you never trade on data that didn't exist yet.
