DATA SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

From official records to structured intelligence.

Useful information needs context: where it came from, what it says, when it was published and what remains uncertain.

THE SOURCE LANDSCAPE

Evidence before interpretation.

Corporate registries

Business registrations, identifiers, legal forms, registered addresses, authorised representatives and corporate status.

Official gazettes

Incorporation notices, amendments, disclosed ownership changes, liquidations and relevant legal publications.

Financial & securities disclosures

Public issuer filings, exchange announcements, shareholder disclosures and regulated company information.

Government & regulatory publications

Relevant administrative decisions, regulatory announcements and sector-specific publications.

Company & supporting documents

Company publications and corroborating records, with their source and evidential status clearly distinguished.

OUR WORKFLOW

A traceable path from source to delivery.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Identify relevant sources and define the research scope.

  2. 02

    Acquire

    Assess access rights and obtain permitted records.

  3. 03

    Extract

    Interpret Arabic documents and capture relevant fields.

  4. 04

    Structure

    Normalise names, identifiers and relationships.

  5. 05

    Validate

    Check consistency, flag uncertainty and review evidence.

  6. 06

    Deliver

    Supply agreed formats with provenance and usage terms.

QUALITY & PROVENANCE

Keep the evidence connected.

A processed record should remain distinguishable from the document on which it is based.

Source references+

Capture the issuing source, jurisdiction, document identifier, publication date and permitted evidence link or document reference.

Arabic extraction and normalisation+

Retain original legal names alongside transliterations. Automated OCR and extraction may introduce errors; review status and unresolved ambiguities should remain visible.

Entity resolution and deduplication+

Compare identifiers, names, addresses and event dates. Flag candidate matches rather than silently treating uncertain matches as verified identities.

Validation and human review+

Check field consistency, ownership arithmetic and chronology where evidence permits. Describe which fields have been reviewed and which remain machine-extracted.

Updates and corrections+

Agree update schedules per source and assignment. Preserve historical context, correction records and the date at which information was assessed.

Responsible acquisition and use+

Assess privacy, lawful disclosure, source licensing, intellectual property, sanctions and trade restrictions before acquisition or redistribution. Public access alone does not establish reuse rights.
