§ LENS · GOVERNANCE · IN BUILD
Who owns it, who runs it, and who actually decides.
The second lens. It reads ownership structure, board composition, and control chains from public registers and filings, and asks where the stated structure and the operating one diverge.
In build
This lens is not available yet. It carries no date, because the work that decides the date is methodology work and it has not finished. When it ships, it ships to the same standard as tax: a published methodology, thresholds that cite their sources, a labelled corpus that gates every change, and an outside reviewer who has checked it.
There is no waiting list on this page. Nobody owns one, and a form that collects addresses into a mailbox nobody reads is worse than no form.
Why this one is second
It reads the same primary sources as tax: public filings, global entity identifiers, offshore-leak records, and national officer registers. It serves the same readers. And it answers the question the tax lens raises most often. When a group books profit where it employs almost nobody, the next question is who owns that entity and who signs for it.
It also has decades of published method behind it to anchor defensible scoring, which is the constraint that decides how fast any lens can move.
One thing it will never do
Score a person. Officers, directors, and beneficial owners are held at the level of the entity and the role, as a signal about corporate substance and continuity. AYVES builds no personal dossier, publishes no individual rating, and applies this to every surface, in this lens and in every later one.
