OpenDossier compared
PitchBook and CB Insights are the investment and market intelligence platforms; Crunchbase is the self-serve company database; Dun & Bradstreet, Orbis and the LexisNexis and World-Check screening tools serve credit and compliance; Vanta and Drata automate compliance for the company being audited; OpenCorporates aggregates registries as open data. OpenDossier takes a narrower job and does it with an evidence chain: the cross-border counterparty file, and the subject's own trust record, with a readiness path to certification.

Where the others are the better choice
- Venture, private-equity and M&A deal data, comparables and fund performance: PitchBook or CB Insights.
- A quick self-serve look at a US start-up: Crunchbase.
- Credit decisions and global corporate family trees at scale: D&B or Orbis.
- Regulated KYC screening of individuals with audit trails your regulator expects: LexisNexis, World-Check or a comparable vendor; OpenDossier covers companies and supplies evidence to your system of record.
- Compliance automation alone, with no diligence need: Vanta or Drata; we introduce either when a client prefers them.
What OpenDossier will not claim
- Complete coverage. Two jurisdictions live, three next, five after; each section marked.
- A trust score. Four indicators and a chain; the conclusion is yours.
- Independence from Magellan Global. We are a group brand and we disclose it on every dossier about a group client; what we promise is that nobody, inside or outside the group, can buy a better record.
