Know when new evidence may change the ownership picture.
Monitor supported source updates concerning shareholders, UBOs, controlling entities and group structures. Each alert explains what was observed, the available date context and which prior ownership conclusion may be affected.
Did the record change—or did the person behind the company change?
Zavia separates supported ownership-relevant source updates from routine company updates, then compares the prior and latest observed ownership paths so a reviewer can assess potential impact.
Illustrative conclusion
A new filing replaced Cedar Holdings with Rowan Capital at 60%. Following the new branch changes the calculated UBO from Daniel Ionescu to Elena Popa, with one new gap flagged for review.
Built for investigation
Move from a company name to a conclusion you can explain.
Each step preserves the legal entities, relationships and evidence that produced the result.

Evidence architecture
One answer. Four clearly different evidence states.
An alert should carry enough evidence to reproduce the changed conclusion—not merely announce that something happened.
Government registry
The legal entity, relationship, source and record date as reported by an official registry.
Reviewed public evidence
Relevant public disclosures are reviewed and labelled separately from official registry facts.
