Research scope

All 51 US jurisdictions (50 states + DC). Cells document what information becomes newly public through post-formation filings — annual reports, statements of information, amendments to articles, registered agent changes, and other lifecycle filings. Every cell is cited to a primary source (chain-complete: source URL + snapshot + hash); CO, DE, WY, CA, NY are the hand-labeled accuracy benchmark; states that cannot be confirmed are documented as typed unknowns.

Formation-level exposure is tracked in Public Filing Fields by State. This matrix extends the picture to cover ongoing operational disclosures.

How to read this matrix

Each row is a U.S. state. Cells document the fields required by each filing type and whether those fields are publicly visible at the state's primary registry portal. Typed unknowns mark fields that cannot be confirmed under the methodology at /about/methodology/.

Sources

Primary-source citations per row live in the matrix's sources.json companion. The full source taxonomy lives at /about/source-registry/.

Frequently asked questions

Which filing most often re-exposes member names after anonymous formation?

Post-formation disclosures vary — the matrix's post_formation_disclosure fields per state answer which form and cadence applies in the cohort.

Are annual reports always public?

Visibility is per state and per field — some states accept filings without publishing all fields online. See filed-document-access-by-state.

How is this different from the portal-access composition matrix?

/business-operations/business-lifecycle-filing-exposure-with-portal-access-by-state/ adds whether the filing is observable on the live portal, not just whether it exists.

Do dissolved entities drop off exposure immediately?

Historical filings often remain indexable — reusable and indexable verbs may persist after dissolution. Row notes capture retention where known.

Where are UCC lifecycle events tracked?

UCC searchability and debtor exposure has its own matrix under business-operations.
