Company registry research
We run free company-registry searches for people in 54 countries and record whether each one actually returned a record. That measurement is published here in full, free to reuse with attribution, because nobody else publishes it.

Registry Access Index 2026-09-12
Every measured country scored out of 100 on whether its company register can be searched for free, who publishes it, and what it exposes. Covers 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-12.
Registry Reliability Observatory
Daily known-company probes show which national company-register routes return usable records, which have recent incident days, and where the observation history is still too small to compare.
Methodology and limitations
How the data is collected, how the score is calculated, what the sample can support and — just as important — what it cannot.
