Scrutica
Feed the Investigator a compute entity in whatever shape you have it — operator name, facility id, ticker, CIK, LEI, a BIS-designated entity, a sovereign LP, or an alias — and the walker climbs the documented chain hop by hop, citing data_source, source_url, as-of date, and confidence inline on each edge rather than collecting them in a footnote. Conflicting parents both appear; a chain that terminates in opacity says so, with the public-record gap labelled as a gap, not as proof there is no further parent.
Of the 95,040 parent-subsidiary relationships in this graph, 58,020 — 61% — were lifted directly from SEC EDGAR (Exhibit 21 subsidiary lists and the filings around them), and every one carries the sec.gov URL of the document it was read from. Click any of those hops and you land on the primary source, not a citation of a citation. The rest of the graph fills in private companies and foreign parents the SEC never sees; those edges are flagged as such and never dressed up as something they aren’t.
Accepts: organization name (Equinix), ticker (NVDA), CIK (1045810), LEI (20-char), licensed-database company id (12817-90), BIS-designated entity, sovereign LP (“Mubadala Investment Company”), organization alias, or canonical Scrutica id (org-*). Fuzzy substring fallback runs only when nothing else matches, and lands with low confidence stamped on it.
The Investigator is entity-centric— you give it an entity, it climbs that entity’s ancestors. The Impact Pre-Scorer is rule-centric— you give it a hypothetical BIS Entity List designation and it returns every facility the cascaded designation reaches. Same ownership substrate, opposite query directions; the Investigator is what an analyst opens to build a case, the Pre-Scorer is what a policy evaluator opens to score one.
Each hop on an entity page carries data_source, source_url (where one exists), as-of date, and confidence right on the line — no footnotes to chase. Affiliate closures of BIS / OFAC / equivalent designations sit in the right rail; so do sovereign LP commitments routed through a fund. The page is text-first on purpose; researchers paste sentences into their citation managers, not screenshots.
