A name goes in.
The business comes back.

One GraphQL endpoint resolves a brand, a legal entity, or an operating location from the same query — and returns the record behind the answer, not just a yes.

Blue Bottle Coffee — fixture values, matching the resolution graph

The graph, without a diagram of a graph

The query and the traversal are the same shape.

In GraphQL you write the shape of the answer you want, and nesting depth is how far the traversal goes. So the graph does not need illustrating — it is what the query already says, read sideways.

Nesting depth is traversal depth

One endpoint, two products

Coverage first. The filing when you need it.

Both products answer the same call. What changes is how much of the record comes back with the answer.

Identify

Confirms a business is real, not just registered.

  • The resolved business — legal names and the DBAs it trades under
  • Operating locations, and the card revenue observed at them
  • The sources behind each attribute, so the answer can be cited

For onboarding at volume: marketplaces, platforms, and anyone whose applicants are real businesses that never filed anything interesting.

Verify

Adds the full Secretary of State record.

  • Everything Identify returns
  • Corporate registrations, status, and the officers on the filing
  • Watchlist hits against the business and the people behind it

For regulated programs where the filing itself is the evidence: banks and sponsor banks, lenders, and payments compliance.

One credit is one cent, and every rate is published. Filters bill on each business you screen; attributes bill only on the fields that come back, so an empty field costs nothing. A free tier covers browsing, search and preview.

What you can resolve

The same call, whatever you have to go on.

You rarely get a clean legal name. The graph is built so a brand, an address, or a person's name is enough to land on the right business.

Agent-ready

Let the agent check
before it answers.

The same resolution is available over MCP through the enigma.verify tool. An agent asks whether a business is real, Enigma resolves it against the record, and the answer arrives carrying its sources — grounded, not recalled.

MCP access is available on the Max plan and above.
