Every adviser filing from 2011 on as the regulator releases it, so an adviser's history is read rather than inferred from its current form.
The regulator's own roster of registered advisers with their reported regulatory assets.
The daily compilations behind the public adviser and representative lookups, federal and state, including every registered individual.
Asked one question at a time, when a label needs confirming against the regulator rather than against our own graph.
Identifiers from adjacent federal filings, loaded and measured by the identity track before any join is published.
| 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. | 10 |
| Firm and issuer disclosures | What an organisation publishes about itself: its own site, its reports, its plan and fund disclosures. | 1 |
| News and newswire | Dated announcements, used to corroborate and to date an event, never as the only witness to a fact. | 1 |
| Registered and refused | Commercial databases registered with a prohibited determination. They are benchmarks; nothing is read from them. | 1 |
Of the 2 feeds that record a read, 100% were read in the last day, 100% in the last week and 100% 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.
