## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you resolve 'Berkshire' to its full legal identity — I need the canonical legal name, LEI, SEC CIK, and any stock tickers associated with it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to map an informal company name, brand, or alias to a verified legal identity with regulatory identifiers (LEI, CIK). Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, authoritative entity data suitable for compliance, KYC, or financial workflows. It is especially useful when disambiguating common aliases or shorthand names before querying SEC EDGAR or financial data providers.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous name with multiple matching entities — returns top candidates or requires disambiguation
- Company not found in GLEIF or SEC EDGAR — returns empty or null result
- Name is a product brand rather than a legal entity — may not resolve directly
- GLEIF or EDGAR upstream unavailability causing timeout or partial data
- Non-public or private companies may lack SEC CIK or ticker data

## How this service works

Resolve a company name or alias to its canonical legal identity — legal name, LEI, SEC CIK and tickers, jurisdiction, and entity status — by cross-checking GLEIF LEI records (CC0) and SEC EDGAR. Answers WHICH company a name refers to.

## Output

Returns the canonical legal name, LEI (Legal Entity Identifier), SEC CIK, associated stock tickers, jurisdiction of incorporation, and entity status for the resolved company, cross-referenced from GLEIF LEI records and SEC EDGAR.
