Monitoring is a check, not a re-collection.

Each member passes identity verification when they join, and the result travels with the entity. When something changes, a new member, an amendment, a round, the record changes the same day, signed and dated. Your systems are told. Nobody mails a document pack.

A 2026 monitoring timeline for Tarka Labs with dated changes, one alert for a new member and today marked no change.

Beneficial owners, resolved to people.

Ownership percentages are signed by the people who hold them. When an owner is itself an entity on the register, its owners are one step deeper on the same record. The chain ends at verified people, and the effective percentages add up.

Beneficial owner tree from Tarka Labs down through Kestrel Labs to verified people, with effective ownership percentages.

The same answer, for software.

The Verify API returns the record your analyst reads: entity, kind, registrar, standing, members with their percentages and verification, the constitution, the last change and a signature your systems can check. One call per customer, as often as you like.

A Verify API response rendered as a record card: entity, kind, registrar, formation date, standing, members with percentages, constitution, last change and a valid signature.
