Benefit-plan filings, exempt offerings, adviser registrations, federal programme directories and state registries: the record a private company leaves behind without ever publishing accounts.
Press releases and sponsors' own sites, quoted, used to date a transaction.
| Family | What it carries | Feeds |
|---|---|---|
| Federal regulator filings | What firms, funds and plans are required to tell a federal regulator, on the regulator's own schedule. | 13 |
| State registries and regulators | Entity registrations, licences, liens and state-level dockets, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. | 7 |
| Firm and issuer disclosures | What an organisation publishes about itself: its own site, its reports, its plan and fund disclosures. | 6 |
| Federal program and statistical data | Federal programme registers and statistical series: who is funded, insured, assisted or measured. | 3 |
| News and newswire | Dated announcements, used to corroborate and to date an event, never as the only witness to a fact. | 3 |
| DFX's own graph | Facts this system produced: resolved identities, typed relationships, detector output, labelled outcomes. | 2 |

Of the 23 feeds that record a read, 35% were read in the last day, 43% in the last week and 74% in the last month. A feed is read on the cadence its publisher changes on, so a quarterly filing being a quarter old is the correct answer rather than a stale one.
Every source is registered with its publisher, access mechanism, cadence and a rights determination before its first row is read, and a source without a green determination never reaches a page. The registry itself is not published: which feeds exist, which answer, and which are worth reading is the work. What is published is the provenance of every individual claim, on the record it belongs to, and the shape of what stands behind it. Buyers running diligence get the registry under contract.
