Case 07 / Public records
Company name and legal record change
Check whether a company changed its legal identity by separating brand name, product name, court filings, and formal records.
Real-case basis: Court filings showed Twitter Inc. had merged into X Corp.
Data package
A news or social post claiming a company name change
A court filing or record that names the legal entity
Old and new names on official or corporate pages
A note separating product branding from legal identity
Task
Decide whether the claim is about a brand, a legal entity, or a merger.
Write the document date separately from the news date.
Explain why product interface changes may not match legal-record timing.
Hint
A brand name and legal entity name are not the same thing.
A court filing may be stronger than a headline.
A merger does not always mean a product disappears immediately.
Answer key
The correct finding is that the legal entity changed through the filing record.
Product naming and legal registration should be tracked separately.
The result should be tied to date, jurisdiction, and document type.
Weak analysis example
The website still looks like Twitter, so the company name cannot have changed.
Careful report example
The court filing states that Twitter Inc. merged into X Corp. This is a legal-entity record and should not be confused with product branding or interface timing.
