How to use the library
One decision. Several kinds of evidence.
No single database can tell you everything. Follow the record across three distinct questions.
Identity and GST
Confirm who the counterparty is, whether documents agree, and what the public GST record does and does not show.
Trade credit controls
Turn evidence into written limits, terms, approvals, delivery records, and review triggers without creating a score.
Court-record attribution
Search by party name, inspect the underlying case, and avoid treating a similar name or a filing as a proven conclusion.
