DATA AS A
PUBLIC FACT.

Central.Enterprises is an engineering-driven project based in Granada, Spain, focused on the neutrality and accessibility of global corporate data.

The Engineering of Truth

We believe that corporate identity data is the common infrastructure of the global economy. By providing a neutral, open, and high-quality data layer, we enable a more transparent and efficient business world. But belief is not enough; infrastructure requires rigorous engineering.

Central.Enterprises was founded on a simple premise: Data should be a public fact, not a proprietary secret. In a world of walled gardens, we are building the open field. Our architecture is designed to ingest, normalize, and cryptographically verify corporate registries from over 50 jurisdictions, unifying them into a single, queryable standard.

Algorithmic Integrity (SimHash)

To ensure that our data is not just open but also correct, we employ advanced deduplication and identity resolution techniques. At the core of our pipeline is SimHash, a locality-sensitive hashing algorithm that allows us to detect near-duplicate entities across millions of records. This ensures that "Acme Corp" in Madrid and "Acme Corporation" in a different dataset are correctly resolved or distinguished based on structural similarity, not just string matching.

The Granada Discipline

Headquartered in Granada, Spain, we operate far from the hype cycles of Silicon Valley. This is a deliberate choice. We value stability, long-term stewardship, and "boring" reliability over rapid disruption. Our mission is to be the bedrock—the unmoving reference layer that others can build dynamic applications upon. When you query Central.Enterprises, you are accessing a system built for decades, not quarters.

The Granada Statement

Valuable global infrastructure can be built anywhere if the discipline is real. Building from Granada is a statement of intent: we prioritize resilience and engineering excellence over geographic hype.

CORE PRINCIPLES

  • Data Neutrality No algorithmic bias. We mirror the official registries exactly as they are.
  • Schema Stability Our 37-column schema is versioned and immutable, guaranteeing backward compatibility.
  • Public Stewardship Transitioning to a Foundation model to ensure the data remains open forever.
  • Privacy by Design Strict masking of PII while preserving business entity transparency.
