- Companies House name match only. Contracting entity, parent, type, URLs and Ofcom status not yet reviewed. Re-check of the outside research pass, 2026-10-01 (page-reader wording; confirm on the page): The earlier "Not found" for service pages was a search failure: connectivity, SD-WAN and SASE pages exist under node4.co.uk/networks-and-security/networking. No MPLS page. Cells filled on 2026-10-02 from the outside research pass are Partial unless the re-check confirmed them. Not found means the pass searched and saw nothing, not that it does not exist. Verify each against its source row, then set Decision.
