03 Evidence, not a mystery score

A clearer way to assess an organisation.

Each signal answers a concrete question and says when it was checked. BritDB does not collapse unrelated facts into an opaque trust score.

Why this matters

“Not checked” never becomes “no record”. Each source keeps its own timestamp and meaning.

04 Official data coverage

Built source by source.
Visible gap by visible gap.

The launch sequence follows data quality, licensing and matching confidence — not the temptation to promise every register on day one.

05 The business map

From nation to
postcode district.

BritDB will turn registered-office postcodes into consistent ONS geographies. “Registered in” and “located in” stay separate, because an office address is not proof of where a business operates.
