AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH / SOURCE GRAPH

Agent protocol

The agent searches, matches and re-verifies public documents. Configured sources are captured by a separate collector; for live search the agent states honestly that no snapshot is stored yet.

Primary source

A fund or company website, an SEC filing, an annual report and an official deal disclosure.

02

The decision, not the logo

For each event the announcement date, stage, role, amount and subsequent observation are kept separate.

03

Agent cross-check

Open search complements bound sources, and a conflict is recorded in the research thread together with the quotes.

SEC registration statements and prospectuses

The principal-stockholders table is an issuer disclosure, under liability, that a named holder beneficially owned a stated number of shares as of a stated record date. It is scoped to that date and says nothing about which round created the position, the price paid, or any lead role. The related-party section is the only part that dates individual purchases.

Fair value is the fund's own mark under its valuation policy, not a transaction price and not a round valuation. Scoped to the registrant and period, never to the whole manager.

GLEIF Level 2 relationship records

Authoritative for accounting-consolidation parentage as self-reported by the entity and validated by its LEI issuer. Consolidation parentage is not the same as the manager that made an investment decision, and reporting exceptions are extremely common.

LSEG PermID

Strongest for listed and large private entities; sparse for early-stage private companies, which is most of this product's catalogue. Best used as a cross-check against an existing LEI or website, never as the sole identity claim.

EPO Open Patent Services

Primary for what was published at the EPO. The applicant name is the legal filer, which is often a holding entity or a founder rather than the operating company, so an applicant match is a lead for identity work, not proof of it.
