Atlas capabilities & coverage
Know what you can investigate.
Atlas combines a searchable business network with company research, disclosed people profiles and policy context. Coverage differs across those layers; the size of the directory does not measure the depth of every investigation.
What is covered
The directory, the relationships and the research.
The public preview lets you explore without an account. Sign-in opens the selected company in Atlas, where the available research depends on its sources.
… master company identities in the backend master registry, not a count of public-network entities, subsidiaries, articles or relationship links.
… master person identities in the backend. Known aliases belong to one identity when the master-data counting rule has reconciled them.
Master count date unavailable until loadedLive master counts use the daily publisher when connected. A snapshot older than 36 hours is marked stale. Its date describes the count, not the last research or monitoring check for every entity. A failed refresh leaves a dated last-known count or an explicit unavailable state. A retained snapshot is historical and bounded; it does not establish current serving coverage. Unverified totals remain unavailable.
The searchable Atlas preview is a separate, selected public catalogue. The master totals above do not imply that every company or person is publicly searchable. Only selected people are searchable in the public Atlas preview; provisional profiles have not been independently verified.

01
Search the public business network
Find companies, subsidiaries and legal entities by name, then inspect recorded relationships and their available sources. Being searchable does not mean a company has been fully researched or is being monitored.
-
02
Open company and people research
Register to inspect available company context and disclosed roles. People profiles may be provisional; a matching name or shared affiliation does not establish that two records describe the same person.
-
03
Explore policy context
The homepage policy orbit links to official material on trade, industrial support, data rules and investment controls. A policy’s scope must be checked against a company’s activities before assessing exposure.
What to check
Know what a record can establish.
A disclosure can establish a relationship without establishing its financial importance. Use the source, its date and the missing evidence to decide how much weight to give it.
-
01
Check the supporting record
Read the relationship label, source and reporting date. A parent-company link, an operating dependency and a reported allegation support different conclusions.
-
02
Recognise what is missing
The public preview does not perform sanctions screening or assess macroeconomic effects. An empty result means the preview has no matching record; it does not establish that no relationship or risk exists.
-
03
Look for the missing evidence
For a possible business effect, look for the affected activity, its financial scale, alternatives and the company’s response. Where those facts are absent, the investment question remains open.
