Who is behind it, and what it connects to.
Corporate intelligence and investigative due diligence, built on entity resolution. XS1 Intelligence builds models that resolve records across registries and languages, trace beneficial ownership, map networks, and screen for adverse media and sanctions exposure.
Ownership cascade
Follow the holdings to their ultimate owners.
A fictional company, resolved from three records, traced through its holding structure and screened. No sanctioned party holds more than 25% on its own, yet together they reach the 50% threshold that matters.

What it covers
Corporate intelligence, built on resolution.
Every question about a company, a network or a vessel starts with knowing which records are the same thing. These are the parts XS1 Intelligence builds models for.
Entity resolution
Deciding which records describe the same company, person, vessel or address across registries, filings, scripts and transliterations, with the evidence for each match kept.
- Multilingual
- Match evidence
Beneficial ownership
Tracing holding structures through companies, trusts and nominees to the natural persons who ultimately own or control an entity.
- UBO
- Control
Link and network analysis
Mapping how entities connect through shared officers, addresses, ownership, transactions and trade, so a network can be read as a whole.
- Shared officers
- Networks
Investigative due diligence
Evidence-based vetting before a transaction or relationship: track record, litigation, regulatory history and source of wealth, from public and commercial records.
- EDD
- Litigation
Adverse media and sanctions exposure
Screening news and public records for links to misconduct, and lists for direct and indirect sanctions exposure, including ownership aggregated across listed parties.
- Adverse media
- 50 Percent Rule
Trade, vessels and supply chains
Supplier and customer networks from customs and corporate records, and vessel and aircraft activity such as AIS gaps and ship-to-ship transfers.

- Trade records
Match evidence
A match is a judgment, so it shows its working.
Names alone match too much and too little. Resolution weighs every identifier, keeps the ones that conflict, and states how strong the match is.
Here four identifiers agree and one conflicts: a director who changed, or a different company. The match is rated high, and the conflict is kept for an analyst to resolve.
