Meridian BIBusiness Intelligence

Data & methodology

Facts first, scores explained. Here's exactly where our information comes from and how we turn it into a decision.

Where the data comes from

Official registries

Company registers, filed accounts, court and lien records, beneficial-ownership registers.

Licensed & partner feeds

Bureau data and specialist providers under licence.

Consented & contractual

Trade-payment experience contributed under agreement; bank/ERP data only with consent.

Sanctions & media

Sanctions/PEP lists and reputable news sources for adverse signals.

From source to score

1

Ingest & normalise

Schemas, units and dates standardised; duplicates flagged.

2

Resolve the entity

Matching and corporate-hierarchy linking so you're reading the right company.

3

Enrich & score

Financials, liens, sanctions and media combined into factors → score + reason codes.

Every datapoint carries a source and an as-of date; scores are labeled as modeled estimates, never as facts.

Accuracy & corrections

A business can see its own report, challenge any field, and get a re-investigation within a fixed turnaround. If we got it wrong, we fix it and tell anyone who received the affected report.
