READING
Our systems read the public record: state licence and registry files, public business listings, and each owner's own location list.
CYPHR · How we verify
Every row is sourced and dated. A business reads Independent only when two public sources show it. Anything we can't settle is marked Not verified and worked down before delivery.
This is the standard every landscape is held to before it leaves us. Here is what it means, row by row.
The Standard
What every row must carry.
Five rules, applied to every row of every landscape.
-
Two public sources before a business reads Independent. One source is not enough, and the absence of a backer is not proof. Every Independent row also lists any sign of outside capital we found and how we followed it.
-
Every row dated, with its source. Each row carries the source it was read from and the date it was read. The report states the date it speaks as of, and the evidence for any row is available on request.
-
Not verified, shown and worked down. An owner we cannot settle from public sources is marked Not verified, with what we checked. It is never guessed and never hidden. Before delivery we work each one down: it is resolved from the record, or the report states why it cannot be.
-
Independent readers before release. Every sample is read cold by independent reviewers, separate AI review sessions with no part in building it, before it is released.
-
Corrections dated, with the prior text kept. When a row is corrected, the correction is dated and the prior text is kept, so you can see what changed and when.
A business can ask us to review or correct its row. How corrections work →
The Architecture
How one small firm holds this standard.
CYPHR was founded in 2026 as an AI-native firm. Our own operating architecture does the reading, the build and a review pass across every row, and our Managing Principal reviews every delivery and signs off on it before it goes out.
That is why one small firm can hold this standard at a published price. The volume of the work is carried by the system; the judgement stays with a person who signs for it.
THE BUILD
Each location is tied to its owner, and each row is given its source and the date it was read.
REVIEW
A review pass checks every row against its sources, and anything not settled is marked Not verified and worked down.
SIGN-OFF
Our Managing Principal reviews every delivery and signs off on it before it goes out.
Put the standard to work.
Tell us the market and the sector. We confirm the scope in writing.
WRITE TO USCited. Stamped. Dated.
Every claim is tied to its source and dated. The acquisition landscape states the date it speaks as of and holds the evidence for every row on request. Published prices. We scope; we don't negotiate.
