Check the legal identity, relationship evidence and coverage limits before using a corporate hierarchy in an enterprise account plan.
Evaluate your customer groupsUse a legal name, country and registration identifier where available. A website or brand can represent several group companies. Review candidates when the match is ambiguous, and retain the selected entity’s identifier with your account plan.
Preserve source classifications and dates when supplied. A relationship can be registry-backed or modelled; a corporate connection is not an assertion that a company needs your product. Missing classification should remain unknown rather than being relabelled as verified.
Group results can contain head offices, single-location records and branches. Count unique returned identifiers separately from row counts. Confirm the record type before describing a record as a separate subsidiary or addressable customer.
Choose familiar customer groups across your markets, sectors and entity sizes. Compare expected relationships with returned companies, missing countries, unresolved profiles and reported fields. A worldwide country list is not a guarantee that every company or field is available.
The highest returned parent may be the top of the available result rather than the verified global ultimate parent. Missing subsidiaries can reflect limited disclosure, unresolved links, source availability or changes not yet returned. Absence is not proof of independence.
A returned ownership or status change is a reason to review the account. A newly returned company is not automatically newly incorporated or acquired. Check timestamps, evidence and monitoring coverage before changing your plan.
Evaluate the online workspace, permitted exports, REST API and MCP with your intended workflow. Confirm countries, fields, monthly allowances, contact credits, monitoring scope and contractual data-use rights before an enterprise rollout.
Use familiar groups and known registration identifiers, compare expected entities with returned records and record missing fields and links. Country-level coverage is context; the sample test establishes fit for your portfolio.
Disclosure, relationship availability, unresolved legal identity, freshness or a bounded result can create a gap. Review the source and result limits rather than treating a missing company as proof that no subsidiary exists.
No universal evidence guarantee applies. Preserve the classifications and source information actually returned, and flag unavailable evidence for review.
