Cases
A case is one company checked. It holds everything gathered against that company (the register's own record, the documents, the ownership, the screenings, the reports) and it is the unit everything else in the product hangs off.
The case list
The line under a company's name is what tells two similarly named companies apart: the registration identifier the case was opened on, or Entered by hand where there is none.
Statuses
| Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | The case row exists; the registry lookup has not landed | Nothing. It settles on its own |
| Enriching | The register is answering, datapoint by datapoint | Nothing; the page watches it |
| Complete | Every datapoint asked for came back | Get on with the case |
| Partial | Some datapoints came back and some did not | The page marks which. Retrying costs another lookup |
| Failed | Nothing came back | Retry enrichment, an explicit, paid act |
| Manual | The details were entered by hand | Nothing outstanding. Nothing was verified either |
Manual is deliberately not green. The case has its details and nothing is outstanding, but nothing touched a register, and a colour that reads as success would be the badge making a claim the case cannot support.

The case page
The register's own record first (the company block, the registered address, the current legal representatives) and then the tabs.
Seven tabs, in the order they become useful:
| Tab | Read it for | Deeper |
|---|---|---|
| Fields | Is this case done | The Fields dossier |
| Prescreening | Where to spend next | Prescreening |
| Ownership & beneficial owners | Who owns it | Ownership |
| Documents | What paper exists | Documents |
| Extract | What the paper says | Extraction |
| Screening | What the people are on record for | Screening |
| Activity | What was done, and what it was before | Activity |
Which tab is open is part of the address, so a link to a case lands on the tab you were on. Every tab goes on working while you are looking at another one: an ownership walk advancing a level, a document being fetched, a fan-out of screenings working through a list of people. Nothing pauses because you looked away.
Nothing is held in memory
Every long-running thing in the product is watched rather than queued in a browser tab. Close the tab mid-enrichment, mid-walk, mid-extraction and the work settles the next time anybody opens the case. Watching is always free.
