Global research corridors
Local records. Connected.
A global view becomes credible only when each entity, filing and permission is resolved in its local system.
Research scope
Four corridors, one connected view.
Meridian connects public corporate, ownership, regulatory and commercial records across jurisdictions — resolved in their local system, then joined. These are research corridors, not claims of physical offices, regulatory permissions or continuous local coverage.

Identity layer
The same company can appear many ways.
Names, subsidiaries, funds, reporting persons and operating brands are resolved before records are joined. GLEIF and other public identifiers can support that work, but no identifier is accepted without checking jurisdiction, date and entity context.
Legal entity
Name, number, jurisdiction and status.
Ownership
Parents, subsidiaries, reporting persons and changes over time.
Permission
Regulatory, licensing and operating constraints.
Provenance
Source, retrieval date, conflict and uncertainty.
