Primary Sources
- NCUA 5300 Call Reports. — Primary-source input for the pending product methodology
Entity-Graph Join
NCUA charter, `irs_ein`, county/field of membership.
Publication Rule
Branmoor does not treat raw public records as the product. A surface is publishable only when the source record is dated, normalized, source-linked, and joined to the relevant Branmoor entity identifiers with enough confidence to state the limits of the result.
Current Methodology Note
Pending methodology. Source contract: NCUA 5300 Call Reports. Records will be normalized into the Branmoor entity graph. Join path: NCUA charter, `irs_ein`, county/field of membership. The public preview will publish only after Branmoor can state source cadence, lineage, and coverage limits.
Limits
Coverage follows the underlying source. Missing state portals, gated APIs, PDF-only filings, suppressed fields, lagged agency refreshes, and entity-name ambiguity can all limit product completeness. Pending products are not marketed as live until those limits are documented on the product surface.
