Verification
Verification is the product.
Upfront is only useful if the ownership claims are credible. That means businesses disclose their structure, Signal Intelligence checks multiple public signals, and a person reviews every listing before publication.
What we check
- Arizona Corporation Commission filings
- Registered agent patterns
- Domain registration history
- Privacy policy and legal copy
- Google Business Profile clustering
- Social media footprint and tone
- Delaware LLC chain checks
- Known portfolio company matches
