Define the scope
Names, date ranges, jurisdictions and record types are agreed before searches begin.
What careful research looks like
Keep the finding
attached to its source.
JACA BUSINESS helps make public business records easier to follow. We work from a specific question, keep a record of the indexes consulted, and write conclusions no broader than the documents allow.
WORKING NOTE / 02The working rule
Separate the entry
from the inference.
A filing index can establish that an entry appears in a database. It may not establish the full history behind that entry, whether a filing is current, or what a court or agency would conclude from it.
Our summaries label the source and date, preserve useful identifiers, and mark gaps that need confirmation. If the question turns on legal effect, the original record and qualified professional advice matter.
“
Write down what the page says. Name the page. Stop where the evidence stops.
Four habits at the desk
Nothing hidden
between the lines.
Keep provenance
Findings stay linked to the public source, the custodian and any search date available.
Mark uncertainty
A partial index, spelling variation or unclear status is noted rather than smoothed over.
Respect the boundary
Research can organize information; it does not replace a certified record, legal advice or a custodian’s decision.
