Our methodology
Leading-edge technology, guided by human intelligence.
Our raw material is public record data retrieved from over 350 official sources across the Middle East and Africa, either by automated online document extraction, bulk uploads of registry data or in-person collection from the relevant registry.
Intelligent data curation
Powered by cutting edge data engineering with human intelligence, our curation process ensures that we present accurate and reliable profiles, allowing users to identify stakeholders, search for UBOs, and power their KYC and AML processes.
Source data is loaded into our proprietary entity database.
Data curation
It then goes through an extensive and rigorous curation process to clean, standardise and map legal entities to relevant corporate structures and individuals within our database.
Data audit trail
Data is linked back to primary sources by our system, to provide an audit trail and the ability to show exactly how entity data has been sourced and changed.
Only official sources
We only use primary, authoritative sources from which we capture external content.
In this way we ensure accuracy and compliance with generally accepted global standards for sourcing information required for due-diligence processes.
These sources include:
Corporate registers
Official gazettes
Compliance documents
Securities & exchange commissions
Federal and local courts
Professional bodies (inc. chambers of commerce)
Investment authorities
Special economic zones
Land registries
Regulators
