Consistency review

What the website says, what the record shows.

A supplier's website is a marketing document; its registry entry is a record written for another purpose. Placing them side by side is one way to test a company's self-description without visiting it. This page is about that comparison and what its mismatches do and do not mean.

The decision question

Does the company describe itself the way the record does?

We take the claims a site makes: legal name, address, year of founding, activity, size, ownership and certifications. Each is paired with the matching registry field where one exists. The output is a table of three kinds of rows: match, difference, and unavailable because the registry does not publish that field. Differences are listed with both values and are never turned into accusations.

A difference can be ordinary: a trading name, an old address kept on a footer, an activity described more broadly than its recorded code. The report distinguishes those from the ones that bear on your order.

What gets compared, field by field

What gets compared, field by field

Name and legal form

The site's footer or terms may hold the legal name; it is set against the register. A missing legal form on the site is noted, as it limits what can be matched.

Address and premises

A site may show a showroom or a warehouse while the registry holds an office. The report states which the register records and does not treat the gap as an error by itself.

Founding year and history

A claim of long standing is compared with the registration date. A younger record can reflect a re-registration, so it is flagged as a question, not a finding.

Activity and scope

The described business is compared with the recorded activity classification, with the note that a recorded classification may be broader or older than the activity today.

How to read a mismatch

How to read a mismatch

Explainable in ordinary terms

A brand name, an address move, or a group structure where the site speaks for the group and the record for one member. Marked as inference with the likely reason.

Material to the order

A different legal entity from the one invoicing, or an activity that excludes the goods offered. Marked for you to raise directly with the supplier.

Cannot be resolved from sources

Where only the supplier can clarify, the point sits in the open-points list with the question to ask.

Limits of the comparison

Limits of the comparison

The site can change after the review

The comparison reflects the pages as they were when read, since a website is not an archive.

What a register publishes

A register may publish officers and filings, or only name and status. Fields not published are reported as unavailable.

Consistency is not truth

Two sources can agree and both be wrong, or both reflect the supplier's own filing. The report says consistency, not accuracy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will you review the whole website?+

The comparison covers the pages that state factual claims about the company, and the source log lists the pages read.

Can a mismatch alone mean the supplier is dishonest?+

No. The report lists the difference and the likely ordinary explanations, and leaves the conclusion to you.

Do you need access to the registry myself?+

No. You send the supplier details; the sources are read and cited in the log.
