We join Britain's public registers, so anyone can follow the money.

Political donations, MPs' interests, ministerial meetings, government contracts, company records and land ownership are all public. They are also published separately, as if they had nothing to do with each other. Open & Candid connects them: the donor to their companies, the companies to their contracts, the contracts to the meetings.

What we do

Reconciled, not scraped

Anyone can download these registers. The work, and the reason journalists use us, is what happens next:

1 · Join what was never designed to join

A donation names a person. A company names a director. A contract names a supplier. We resolve them to one identity, matched on registered facts like birth dates and company numbers, never on name-similarity guesswork.

2 · Hold namesakes apart

Britain has many John Smiths. Where records could belong to two different people, we keep them separate until the facts prove otherwise. It is the discipline our users cite most.

3 · Show the receipts

Every claim carries its door to the primary record: the Commission's own filing, the Companies House entry, the contract notice, the land title. Check us against the source in one click.

"If we show it, we can tell you how we know. If we can't know, we tell you that instead."
