Trust
Where every fact comes from
How NODE ID chooses its sources, applies each register's rules, keeps data fresh and records what it knows.
Official registers first
Every value comes with its method, and methods are ranked.
Same rank: the most recent value wins, then the most reliable. Conflicting values are kept and shown.
1Official register
Read from the register itself.
2Declared and verified
Declared by the company, confirmed by digital identity.
3Third-party provider
Only where no official source can be read. Labelled.
4Extracted from documents
Reviewed by a person when confidence is low.
The rules of each register
Recorded per register, applied before any data is returned.
Access basis
Ownership data only for customers entitled to it.
Licence
No non-commercial source in a paid service.
Attribution
Source credited where the register requires it.
No scraping
Never where automated retrieval is limited or forbidden.
Reuse
Onward sharing respected source by source.
Sanctions
Russia and Belarus are not connected.
Fresh by design
Each data type has a maximum age. Past it, NODE ID goes back to the source.
- Verification
- Live
- Company status
- 1 day
- Officers
- 7 days
- Shareholders and owners
- 30 days
Maximum ages for onboarding. Changes are detected from the register's stream where it has one, by scheduled checks elsewhere.
An audit trail by design
Every answer can be traced back and replayed.
Two dates
When a fact became true, and when NODE ID learned it.
Replay
A company as NODE ID knew it at any past date.
Evidence
Each register response fingerprinted and kept.
Proof of existence
Fingerprints anchored, so a third party can check them.
