CompanyBeacon

Methodology and limitations

How CompanyBeacon resolves company identity, separates source dates and avoids turning public-record signals into unsupported conclusions.

Identity first

Companies House number is the canonical company key. Names are labels that can change. Fund membership is associated with that number where a public source or curated resolution supplied it. A GLEIF link is published only when registration authority RA000585 carries the exact same Companies House number; name-only matches are rejected.

Source hierarchy

  1. Current Companies House proxy response or daily CompanyBeacon snapshot.
  2. Official public-record D1 projection with recorded import metadata.
  3. Governed R2 analytical projection or immutable source snapshot with explicit licence, identity rule and source date.
  4. Curated fund-membership snapshot with its source last-modified date.

Daily refresh

A scheduled Cloudflare queue submits every tracked company number for rechecking. Consumers update the dedicated status database at a rate designed to respect the upstream API and also refresh the 294 exactly matched GLEIF records. A later scheduled job writes an aggregate JSON report to R2.

National indicators

UK context reports read the newest immutable parsed R2 snapshot. Each monthly, quarterly, weekly or on-change observation keeps its own period. A new page render never relabels an older official observation as today's value.

What we do not infer

A company status does not prove investment performance, misconduct, tax eligibility or the current holdings of a fund. An LEI or LEI renewal status is not a credit or solvency signal. National statistics do not predict an individual company. Contract awards do not prove total supplier revenue. Charity-company matches use published identifiers and should be verified at source.
