company_trust_check
One-call public-record trust read for a company - answers 'can I trust this company?' for KYB/vendor-diligence agents. Joins the LiveDataLink sources that carry a legitimacy or risk signal into a single standing read: an OFAC SDN / EU / UN / BIS sanctions screen (a hit is decisive), SEC EDGAR registration plus the latest filing date (legitimacy + recency), USAspending federal award history (the US government transacts with them), and EPA ECHO facility compliance (significant-non-compliance, penalty, and non-compliant-quarter flags). Returns a plain-English verdict band (ESTABLISHED PUBLIC-RECORD STANDING / STANDING WITH FLAGS / LIMITED FOOTPRINT / SANCTIONS SCREEN HIT), the positive signals, the flags to review, and the resolved identifiers. A source that fails is noted, not fatal. This is a public-record SIGNAL read, not a credit report, background check, or endorsement: absence of a record is not proof of wrongdoing and a match is not proof of guilt. Premium cross-source synthesis.
