Data & Methodology
Every conclusion begins with a source
RCA separates observation from interpretation, records provenance at field level and makes gaps visible rather than filling them with inference.
Evidence model
Five source classes
Each field records its source class, effective date, review date and any reconciliation note.
Public filing
A document published by a regulator, court, legislature or other official public body.
Company registry
A record matched to a legal entity in a recognised corporate register.
Issuer disclosure
Information published directly by an issuer or its named representative.
Third-party audit
A report attributed to an identified independent service provider.
On-chain observation
A directly observable transaction, contract state or administrative relationship.
Transparency Index
Eight consistently scored dimensions
