Latvia company register: transcript

This is a complete local build of Latvia's company register, made from public open data.

Almost half a million entities, with their owners, annual reports, public procurement and trading premises, all in one database.

Ask which companies one person controls, how a firm compares with its industry, or where its turnover sits on the map.

Nothing is hosted. It rebuilds itself in eleven stages, in about three minutes.

It pulls only what changed: register and tax data, procurement notices, the address register and licence registers.

The full build writes to scratch and swaps in atomically, so a failed run never touches the data in use.

It corrects the data's traps: an order-sensitive identity key had invented a hundred and thirty-eight thousand people, and Latvian yes and no values had hidden eighty-four thousand active VAT payers.

Ninety-seven percent of companies are geocoded, most to the exact building, and three hundred and twenty thousand peer rows benchmark every industry code.

Stage eleven verifies the whole build, and a run only counts as finished when every check passes.

An MCP server with twenty-one tools lets an AI ask it questions, with a guard that caps every result.

And the same build reproduces on Windows and macOS, figure for figure.

Latvia's company register: rebuilt, verified, ready to ask.
