Freshness is separate from rights
These are operational observation dates, not claims that every upstream record changed on that day. No record counts are shown here unless they can be tied to a current dated manifest.
What is not listed
Private raw holdings, backup archives, credentials, commercial feeds and contract-specific data are not public datasets and are not exposed here. Curated fund-to-company memberships are editorial research, not an open government dataset. The Companies House D1 projection is a relevant subset, not the full register; supplier aliases are published only where an exact GB-COH identifier resolves to that subset. Officer, PSC, address and date-of-birth fields remain outside public output.
