An answer receipt, worked end to end

Every Kortex answer ships with its receipt: when it was computed, which sources it touched and under what licences, how it was computed, and what it does not claim. This page freezes one real answer so you can read a receipt before you ever call the API — then reproduce it yourself with one command, no account needed.

The question

Which operators worldwide have the most revenue exposed to fossil generation?

GET /v2/insights/fossil-revenue-exposure?min_revenue_m=1000

The answer (top 5 of 50 rows)

Operator	Legal entity (GLEIF)	LEI	Fossil %	Fossil revenue	Identity
CHN Energy	国家能源投资集团有限责任公司	300300VT2BKANW0TKH13	98.0	$19.6B	curated · 0.85 lapsed LEI reg.
China Huaneng	中国华能集团有限公司	300300DOD33ZALKAOC86	95.0	$19.5B	curated · 0.90 lapsed LEI reg.
China Huadian	中国华电集团有限公司	300300ZOBEZHEZQTRS74	100.0	$14.1B	curated · 0.90 lapsed LEI reg.
NTPC	NTPC LIMITED	335800Q4TRGJXNLVMB81	97.0	$12.9B	curated · 0.90
China Datang	中国大唐集团有限公司	300300VOINXQKJRAGV06	100.0	$11.4B	curated · 0.85 lapsed LEI reg.

Rows exactly as the API returned them, ordered by fossil revenue. Note the identity column: it does not just say "matched", it says how the match was made and with what confidence, and flags anything a careful reader should know — a lapsed GLEIF registration is a fact about the entity record, not about the stitch, and the receipt keeps those separate.

methodology (verbatim from the response)

Sums modelled generator revenue per resolved operator group, split fossil (coal/gas/oil) vs low-carbon. Legal identity per group is the GLEIF entity backed by the most generating capacity via curated OPERATED_BY edges (quarantined stitches excluded; capacity-weighted so many small records cannot outvote one large correct one), then joined to SEC identifiers — falling back to the ultimate parent’s listing when the operating entity itself is unlisted. est_revenue_usd is a Kortex-modelled estimate (installed capacity × technology capacity factors × zone price signals). It is not reported financial revenue.

confidence model

Identity is reported in two separate dimensions per row: entity_record_validity says whether the selected legal-entity record itself is live in GLEIF; operator_stitch_confidence + operator_stitch_method say how the operator was mapped to that entity (manual curation > automated verification > fuzzy source tag). A valid record does not imply a correct stitch, and the receipt never conflates the two.

stated limitations (verbatim)

Coverage is the generator subset carrying both a resolved operator group and a revenue estimate — deliberately high-fidelity rather than complete; operators outside it do not appear.
resolution_status=lei_matched means a legal-entity record was selected, NOT that the operator-to-entity stitch is verified — read entity_record_validity and operator_stitch_* together.
The operator display label is the source-attested group string and may lag renames or divestitures; the stitched entity is the authoritative identity.

Why this matters

Most data products give you a number. Kortex gives you a number you can defend in front of your own risk, procurement, or investment committee: where it came from, under what licence, how it was computed, and what it deliberately does not claim. How answers hold up against independent references is published — including the misses — at /validation; the per-source licence position is at /licensing.
