dsh-entity-dd

In cross-border trade, a single trading name can map to several independent legal persons, and a contract with one cannot be enforced against another. dsh-entity-dd tackles two questions in order: which legal person are you actually contracting with, and can this register record be relied on? It pulls only from free, open sources such as the GLEIF LEI register and EU VIES, surfacing entity ambiguity and reliability judgement in front of the user rather than silently picking one record and moving on.

The workflow runs through three tools: entity_search lists every legal person matching a given name; entity_dossier then delivers a structured profile for the confirmed entity, including a reliance verdict with reasoning and next steps, group structure (direct and ultimate parent, subsidiary count), triggered risk rules with per-rule advice, and a field-level data inspection table that separates data freshness from business risk; entity_vat_check provides a live EU VAT validation fallback for counterparties that hold a VAT number but no LEI. Nine risk rules ship as readable JSON, so thresholds and the offshore-jurisdiction list can be tuned to your own risk appetite.

It is best suited for trade, legal, and risk professionals doing a first-pass screen on counterparties in Europe, North America, Japan, and Korea. Coverage for small manufacturers in Southeast Asia is limited due to sparse LEI registrations. The plugin does not perform sanctions or export-control screening, and its output is a heuristic prompt for human review, not a compliance conclusion or legal advice.
