Practical guidance for UK company, charity, postcode and identity data: what each source proves, what it does not, and how to integrate it safely.

Four questions before implementation.
- 01What exact business decision must the system make?
- 02Which primary source supports each factual assumption?
- 03What happens when the API, supplier or user input is wrong or unavailable?
- 04What evidence, ownership and recovery path remain after launch?
