How it is built, and what it will not tell you

Every profile compiles from two statutory registers, refreshed to each one's own cadence: Companies House - the full officer and PSC (persons with significant control) record, via its real-time change streams - and the Charity Commission for England and Wales, reloaded in full each week. Nothing here is self-declared and nothing is AI-generated: every fact traces back to a filing, appointment by appointment, with dates.

RENEWAL_CLIFF is a computed flag, not a filed fact. A charity carries it when a large share of its CURRENT board has served past the tenure point the build treats as a renewal signal, read from the dated trustee-appointment history the Charity Commission holds. It is scored over currently registered charities only: 170,249 charities are on the register today; 166,962 of them (98%) have enough dated trustee history to compute a board profile at all; 54,307 of those carry the flag. A charity outside that 166,962 is too sparsely dated to score - it is absent from the figure, never counted as clear. Companies get the equivalent signal on their own terms (directors past six years), on the recruiter dashboard's Companies tab.

Around 9.0 million PSC (persons with significant control) edges sit behind the ownership panels. Each one is graded before it is ever shown as fact: 92.05% carry a sole-claimant or corroborated verdict from the name-collision gate and are published as fact. The remaining 7.95% are downgraded or otherwise ambiguous and are always shown hedged - marked as a possible match, never presented as confirmed ownership.

No UK public register publishes company turnover, so we do not show one - only the filing-size category a company's own accounts fall into: FULL, GROUP, MEDIUM, SMALL, MICRO ENTITY or DORMANT. That is a filing threshold the company chose, not a revenue figure.

Companies House's officer record carries no occupation field - not for one officer, not for any of them. We have no CEO or executive layer as a result: the real role vocabulary on the record is director, secretary, LLP member and corporate director. An executive appears on this site only where they also hold a directorship; staff below the board are not on the register, and we do not guess at who they are.

Contact emails exist for a minority of charities - 542,387 addresses across 47,315 charities, about 12% of the register - and are shown only where they exist, on Pro. No filter on this site implies every organisation is reachable through it.

We would rather tell you what is missing than guess at it. That is the shortest description of the difference between a filed register and a scraped one.

If a record about you, your firm or a board you sit on is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the source register. Corrections are part of the product, not an afterthought.
