Coverage and evidence
Read a profile the way it was built: graded tiers, cited evidence and honest gaps.
Updated 23 September 2026
- Why
- Nothing should go into a call that cannot be backed up.
- How
- Open a profile, then choose any value to see where it came from.
Profile tiers
| Tier | What stands behind it |
|---|---|
| Full profile | A verified website plus corroborating sources. |
| Standard profile | A website or a directory profile. |
| Stub | Register and premises data only. Nothing is invented about the operation. |
Many of a county's smallest manufacturers leave no usable web footprint, so stubs are expected and labelled rather than padded.
Verified and inferred
- Verified: a source states it. The source, the quote and the date it was read are one click away.
- Inferred: derived from what is stated, with the reasoning written down.
- Missing: left empty and listed under What we do not know yet, never a guess.
Two values from a demonstration Inspect profile laid open: 5 axis milling, verified from the company's own page with the quote and the date it was read, and aerospace, inferred, with the reasoning written down and its source.
Demonstration data
What a profile holds
| Tab | Holds |
|---|---|
| Profile | Processes, machines, materials, certifications, sectors, scale, the MRO demand profile, the written narrative with numbered sources, and Your intelligence. |
| Commercial | Filed employees and turnover with an as of date, accounts filed and due, charges, Gazette notices and dated signals. |
| Contacts | People named publicly, your stored contacts and the contact finders. |
| Prepare | The documents, the debrief, where this stands and the activity. |
County court judgments are not free to search, so the Commercial tab says they are unavailable rather than implying a clean record.
