Legal Methodology & Evidence Integrity
How we work this out. Every claim is built from public UK records: Companies House (filings, officers, charges register), filed accounts (XBRL), The Gazette corporate-insolvency notices, and HMRC’s Public Deliberate Defaulters register. Paid analysis may add derived filing, financial, network, and continuity context where the underlying evidence is available. Derived outputs are labelled with their inputs, source dates, and limitations; they are not guarantees of payment or regulated credit decisions.
