A cross-border check on three counterparties is days of associate time and a bill nobody can itemise. This pack is minutes and cents, and every fact is reproducible from its signal hash. The comparison is illustrative; the receipts are not.

Method — how each fact was graded
- confirmed: two independent sources agree (for example the registry legal name appears in open-source results).
- single_source: one provider answered and the value passed the intent's schema and range checks.
- conflict: sources disagree, or the provider's own fields are inconsistent (a clean screen with a high fuzzy score, a jurisdiction mismatch, adverse media against a clean sanctions screen).
- invalid: the answer did not answer the question (different entity, unrelated filing list, raw feed) and was excluded from grading.
- missing: the field was not delivered; it is never filled in.
- Risk is the highest fact risk: critical (sanctions match) > high (unresolved cross-source conflict) > medium (inactive entity, jurisdiction mismatch, adverse media) > clear.
- Each purchase is recorded with its provider, signal hash, receipt hash, latency and cost. The signal hash commits to the request and the answer and can be re-derived from the node.
Bought intelligence is evidence, not legal advice. Every item is reproduced with its provider, signal hash and cost; conflicts and missing facts are surfaced rather than resolved silently. Testnet results are labelled as such.
