Four different dates
- Source event date: when the company filing or contract event happened.
- Extract date: when the upstream dataset was captured.
- Import date: when CompanyBeacon loaded the projection.
- Page generation date: when a report was rendered.
Live and snapshot data
Company status is retrieved through the live Companies House proxy or the most recent daily snapshot. Fund membership is a curated snapshot. Contracts and charity facts use their recorded extract and import dates.
What daily means here
The daily queue rechecks every tracked company and writes a run record. It does not rewrite an older contract or charity extract as though the source published new data.
