The Company Register Intel homepage

Company Register Intel

What UK company filings actually say

Reads the narrative of UK company accounts rather than only the numbers, and pairs it with deterministic signals from the filed figures, the PSC register, official insolvency notices and regulator lists. Every narrative claim on a company page links back to the original filing at Companies House, and every flag carries the verbatim passage it came from, so a claim can be checked against the source document rather than taken on trust. Source data is Companies House and The Gazette under the Open Government Licence; the derived signals, narratives and aggregates are published CC BY 4.0. It states plainly that it is not financial advice.

We do not sell visas, take referral fees, or make recommendations. This is factual reference information only — not legal, immigration, or tax advice. Always verify with official sources and consult qualified professionals.

The Bank Conduct Index homepage

Bank Conduct Index

What the Financial Ombudsman actually decided

Aggregates what the Financial Ombudsman Service actually decided, rather than what firms say about their own complaint handling: uphold rates broken down by firm and by issue, the most-decided issues, firms ranked by decision volume, and the rules behind each outcome. Covers UK banking decisions alongside US consumer complaints, and publishes how the figures are produced.

The Charity Accounts Intel homepage

Charity Accounts Intel

What UK charity accounts actually say.

What UK charity accounts actually say. We machine-read the accounts PDFs filed with the Charity Commission for England and Wales and publish the disclosures buried in the notes: executive pay bands, reserves vs the charity's own policy, going-concern statements, related-party transactions, payments to trustees, audit opinions — and the grants funders actually made, forming a who-funds-whom graph. Every sensitive claim is published with a verbatim supporting passage from the filing and the financial year; claims whose passage cannot be verified in the document are discarded.

The Police Census homepage

Police Census

every US law enforcement agency, by the numbers

Police Census answers one question per agency: what has actually been reported about it to a federal government source, and what has not. Every figure is a measured value copied from a named source, or the page/export says the value is missing — never an estimate, an interpolation, or one agency's numbers inferred from another's.

Migration Watchdog

Illegal immigration to the UK, measured

Every statistic carries its official source, the period it covers and the date it was retrieved, and readers are asked to cite the underlying official source rather than the site. It is explicit about the limits of its own data — weekly small-boat figures are provisional Home Office operational data while the quarterly illegal entry statistics are the authoritative series, prison nationality is not immigration status, and census context is England and Wales as at March 2021. It publishes a corrections log and a page setting out what it deliberately does not claim, and states that it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Migration Watch UK or any similarly named organisation.

    Correction (/integration), 2026-08-17

    What was wrong: The Ipsos polling entry listed a net figure ('too high', 67%) and its own component ('much too high', 43%) as if they were separate answers in one distribution — the rows summed to 143%. What changed: Component rows are now flagged and rendered as 'of which' sub-rows; a build gate requires every polling distribution to sum to approximately 100%.
