Illustrative data modelled on a typical UK private company ownership structure. The Registrum PSC API automatically splits active and ceased entries — the raw Companies House endpoint returns them mixed.
The PSC chain endpoint traverses corporate structures automatically — decoding control types, detecting cycles, and reporting exactly why each branch terminated.
