What the words actually mean
299 explainers on identity, verification, and what answer engines need. Start with why this exists. Then pick a topic.
The registry holds the company files. This library explains the ideas those files sit in — so a person and a model are not using two different dictionaries.
We do not invent Wikipedia pages for small firms. We point at real concepts that already exist, and we keep the writing short enough to quote.
