What is Comprehensive View?
Trulioo gathers the information for your business verification requests from a wide variety of sources. Trulioo takes data from all these separate sources and attempts to provide a uniform view through our standardized data model. The complexity here is that any given business entity might have several different representations across the various sources we gather information from.
The goal of Comprehensive View is to collect & compare all entities we received from our various sources and determine with a level of certainty that they are in fact the same business. Once that determination has been made, we can confidently aggregate the data into a single, easy to understand view of the entity.
Why build a Comprehensive View ?
Earlier, KYB displayed responses from multiple data sources which meant your teams had to analyze these results and extract the information that was useful for your business. We wanted to simplify the process and return one single entity that we feel is the closest match to the attributes you entered.
A robust consolidation engine resulting in a single entity allows you to be confident in the accuracy and reliability of the data - no need to review multiple data source results, the Comprehensive View is the go-to source for a business verification request.
How do we consolidate responses?
Our consolidation process involves comparing a number of key attributes found in business entities to determine similarities across responses. When our consolidation engine determines that a set of business entities are the same, we move forward with our consolidation in building the Comprehensive View. These key attributes include unique identifiers like Business Registration Numbers, Tax Identification Numbers, Business Name & Addresses.
Comprehensive View in action
Here is an example of our consolidation process and how we build the Comprehensive View:
Datasource A
Acme Widgets
BRN: 12345
Address: 1055 Hastings St W Suite 1200Datasource B
Acme Widgets
BRN: 12345
Company URL: www.acmewidgets.com
EIN:78910Datasource C
Acme Fun Widgets
BRN: 65431
Address: 100 Park Ave, New YorkComprehensive View
Acme Widgets
BRN: 12345
Address: 1055 Hastings St W Suite 1200
Company URL: www.acmewidgets.com
EIN:78910In this example, the two entities sharing the same BRN were consolidated into a single entity representing Acme Widgets. While Datasource C was close, ‘Ace Fun Widgets’ was not included because we couldn’t match BRN or any Address data to our other sources.
This allows us to gather information from multiple data sources - Address from Datasource A, URL & EIN from Datasource B - and consolidate into a single comprehensive entity for Acme Widgets.
How to access the Comprehensive View?
In order to simplify the adoption for you, the Comprehensive View has been built to the exact same specifications as any other data source response currently found in NAPI and Portal responses. This means that all the fields that you are already receiving and expecting are present in Comprehensive View.
There are two options for how your Comprehensive View experience can be chosen - you may choose to only receive the Comprehensive View output OR keep your current output with the addition of the Comprehensive View in which case you will continue to receive responses from multiple data sources as well as the Comprehensive View.
The Comprehensive View will appear as a data source block within the [Verify] (doc:step-4b-verify) response:

Comprehensive View Troubleshooting
There may be occasions where you might encounter issues while having the Comprehensive View feature enabled.
Note: Even if you run into one of the following issues and a Comprehensive View could not be produced, the related data source results will still be present & available.
| Message Code | Message Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1001 | Business Name is a required input for a comprehensive entity | Business name was not provided as input. Running the transaction again with a business name should resolve this. |
| 1001 | Business Registration Number or Tax ID Number is a required input for a comprehensive entity | An identifier like BRN or TaxID is required for a Comprehensive View. Running the transaction again with an appropriate ID should resolve this. |
| 1001 | Jurisdiction is a required input for a comprehensive entity | For Canada, US, and Germany a Jurisdiction of Incorporation is a required input for a Comprehensive View. |
| 1003 | Configuration Error | Internal Configuration Error. Please contact [Customer Support] (mailto:[email protected]) |
| 1003 | None of the returned datasources could be used for a comprehensive entity | None of the returned results met the criteria to be considered for our Comprehensive View. |
