Evidence summary

Evidence found
6 approved official releases are available for governed company, ownership or sanctions context; 1 additional release is metadata-only.
Source coverage
Companies House, GLEIF, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and the United Nations Security Council, checked through the unified R2 importer.
What this means
A monitored policy record can be followed by exact, source-stated company or ownership research when the named entity and jurisdiction are clear.
What this does not mean
The feeds do not classify propositions, prove that a similarly named entity is the same organisation, or turn an automated sanctions match into a legal determination.

Approved official releases

The tracker uses the committed importer projection for release, status, licence and coverage context. Raw company, PSC, parent-relationship and sanctions records remain outside the public site.

How policy context is applied

  1. Start with a proposition, question, law or manifesto record from the named Channel Islands authority.
  2. Resolve a named organisation only with a stable identifier or an exact source-supported relationship; name similarity remains a research lead.
  3. Keep UK company registration, global LEI relationships and Channel Islands legal identity separate.
  4. Verify any sanctions question at the current official list and preserve its date; the tracker does not give legal or compliance advice.

The official SDN CSV download returns TLS error 525 from Cloudflare Worker egress while succeeding from a normal client.

Ask OFAC to support Cloudflare egress or use an official automation-safe mirror; do not proxy the file through an operator laptop.

The APIs are public but each service is independently paginated; a consistent full snapshot needs checkpointed pagination.

This projection publishes release, status, licence and coverage metadata only. It does not republish raw company, PSC, ownership or sanctions records and does not create automated entity matches. 1 planned official feed is currently unavailable and is not silently substituted.
