Business ownership & control graph (KYB)

Illustrative open-registry sample committed for the KYB control-graph — a real, tested parser over an example record, not a live bulk pull. The full production pull is documented in the crawler.

Control graph

Controls 1 entity; controlled by 0 parties.

Effective ownership % and control bands are shown exactly as the registry published them — a numeric share where the source gives one, a control band otherwise, never a guessed number. Every edge cites the open register that asserted it.

KYB resolves a business’s ownership and control graph so a name or a business and its ultimate beneficial owners can be screened in one operation (the unified AML model — one screen, run over the resolved graph). This is reference data and a UBO-risk layer, not a verification suite: it is not a sanctions designation, not a PEP flag, and not an allegation of wrongdoing. Screening a business against the sanctions, PEP, and watchlist corpus is done by the screening tool and the API, over this graph.
