AUTHORITATIVE peer / competitor lookup: find every SEC filer classified under one SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) industry code. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "who are $COMPANY's public competitors/peers", "list companies in <industry>", "which filers are in SIC <code>". Pass EITHER `sic` directly (a 2-4 digit code, e.g. "3571" = Electronic Computers) OR `ticker_or_cik` for a company whose own SIC should be looked up first and then used to find its peers (self excluded by default). Returns each peer's CIK, and ticker + company_name when the filer has a listed ticker — results are sorted so currently-listed peers come first, since an SIC bucket covers every filer that EVER filed the form (many delisted/defunct); unlisted registrants still appear after them with ticker:null rather than being dropped. Source: SEC EDGAR company-search (browse-edgar), filtered to filers who have filed the given form_type (default "10-K", i.e. active public reporters — omitting this filter is unreliable upstream). Note: SIC is a broad, sometimes dated bucket assigned once at registration — treat this as a peer-set STARTING POINT, not a precise competitor list.
