Open-source intelligence becomes useful only when another person can reproduce the result. A defensible workflow records the exact entity searched, the source, the retrieval date, the confidence of the identity match, and any unresolved ambiguity.
This matters in business research because a plausible name match is not the same as a verified person or company. Source quality and context should be visible before any material decision is made.
DataCheck provides a practical starting point for a free OSINT report and structured public-record research.
Public records are a research aid, not a substitute for current primary records or professional advice.
