A name to DFX ids, fast, across every private capital graph
resolve_nameResolve a firm, fund, person or company name to canonical dfx ids from the Data Factory's index of every published name and alias (former names, dbas, legal names) on the family office, sponsor, venture, private equity, RIA, allocator, private credit and real estate fund graphs as each graph is indexed. Each row carries the ROLES the institution holds across graphs where the identity layer publishes them, so one institution that is a private equity manager, a registered adviser, a private credit manager, a real estate fund manager and a manager holding allocator capital comes back as one identity with the id on each graph, never as five unrelated firms. Ranked exact, prefix, then word match; one row per entity; typically under 200 ms. The first call before get_entity. Real estate organisations are resolved by resolve_organization instead. ACCESS: without a paid DFX plan on the vertical, a list returns its first 5 rows in full and a count of the rest by type (locked.count, locked.by_type), never the rows; a record names its subject and the first 3 related names per section; contact values (email, phone, profile URLs) and decision-maker names are never returned, only their types and counts. Every answer says what it withheld in entitlement and locked. Full access: DFX Intelligence, 7 days free at https://dfxintel.com/data-factory/plans.
