+# BERT-Breaks (v0) – Coming Soon 🚧
+
+**Status:** *Model training and evaluation planned – baseline placeholder repository.*
+
+## Overview
+
+`BERT-Breaks-v0` serves as the **vanilla BERT baseline** for the Exception Handling & Reconciliation project.  
+It will be trained on the same corpus as our [`DistilBERT-Reconciler`](https://huggingface.co/kelvi23/DistilBERT-Reconciler) – **3.2M labeled post-trade break descriptions and resolution actions** – but using the original `bert-base-uncased` architecture.
+
+The goal is to provide a performance benchmark against which lightweight and distilled models can be evaluated.
+
+---
+
+## Intended Use
+
+Automated classification of reconciliation exceptions in fixed-income settlement workflows (CUSIP/ISIN).  
+The model will output a `label_id` mapped to a human-readable root-cause and recommended resolution step.
+
+---
+
+## Planned Training Details
+
+* **Base**: `bert-base-uncased`
+* **Epochs**: TBD (expected 3–5)
+* **Learning Rate**: TBD (expected ~3e-5)
+* **Max Length**: 256
+* **Dataset**: Proprietary + ISO 20022-derived corpus (post-trade break descriptions)
+* **Split**: 80% train / 20% hold-out
+* **Evaluation Metrics**: Accuracy, Micro-F1, Macro-F1
+
+---
+
+## Expected Benchmark
+
+| Model                   | Accuracy | Micro-F1 | Macro-F1 |
+|-------------------------|----------|----------|----------|
+| DistilBERT-Reconciler   | 0.88     | 0.88     | 0.85     |
+| **BERT-Breaks-v0**      | (Coming) | (Coming) | (Coming) |
+
+---
+
+## Limitations & Bias
+
+* Labels are derived from North-American corporate-bond desks (2019–2025).  
+* May under-perform on equities, repos, or non-USD instruments without re-training.  
+* Baseline model is expected to have **larger inference latency** compared to distilled variants.
