Horizon Mechanical Group

Ten records from five authorities, one business, held together by five shared keys: a license number, a phone, a suite and two principals.

06 / The graph

Risk follows the people, not the shell.

Every business, linked to the people who run it and the places it works from. When a company closes and a new one opens at the same address, the connection shows.

01 / The identity layer

The same contractor, under any name.

Contractors close, rename and reopen, leaving the debt, the claim and the violation behind. ValidSync ties licensed contractors in all 50 states to one identity each, with the people and public records behind it, so a new name still leads back to the old one.

02 / One county

One county.
Tens of thousands of identities.

Travis County, Texas. Each light is a business or a licensed tradesperson, assembled from license rosters, tax filings, building permits and corporate filings.

03 / Sources

Underneath: 200+ government sources.

License boards, Secretary-of-State filings, permit authorities and federal registers across all 50 states, every one of them a public government record.

04 / Records

Every fact has a source.

Zoom into any one of millions of records and it carries its issuing authority, its native key, and a provenance row behind each fact. Three samples: a license roster row, a corporate filing, a permit.

05 / Resolution

Many records. One contractor.

Name variants, a shared phone, a shared suite, a principal filed on three filings: the resolver gathers what belongs together into a canonical identity, keeps every merge reversible, and holds the look-alikes apart.

06 / The graph

The people behind each company.

Behind every company are the people who run it and the places it works from. ValidSync connects them, so a company that closes and reopens at the same address is still linked to the old one.

2.0 / Resolution

Hundreds of records in. One identity out.

Our resolver collapses records into one persistent identity. A license, a tax filing and a permit that spell the name three different ways still land on the same contractor, and new records keep attaching to it as they are filed.

3.0 / Map

Resolved identities, placed where they operate.

Every county in the country, shaded by how many contractors are resolved there. Hover or tap a county to see where it ranks.

One suite, two companies, the same two people.

The story followed one family; this is the neighborhood. A company can be dissolved with its liabilities and reopened next season under a new name at the same suite with the same principals, and only a graph of who is behind each company can follow that. Click any node: businesses open their dossier, the brass diamond fans out its tenants, the dashed pairs are succession candidates.

5.0 / Signals

A violation filed under a trade name still finds the business.

Safety inspections, wage cases, license discipline and other government records are matched to the business they belong to, whatever name they were filed under.
