Find official records
Use registries, regulators, or official datasets first.
A primary source is present.
Read web context
Compare official site, domain history, news archives, and public records.
Third-party summaries are supported.
Write uncertainty
Note missing records, old data, and name similarity.
Personal data is reduced.
