Common-control plumbing

common controlregistered-agent overlap

Shared registered agents, organizers, or addresses across entities — evidence of common administrative control, not of beneficial ownership.

Common-control plumbing is the term this project uses for the administrative overlaps that recur across the entity record: a shared registered agent, the same organizer or counsel, a reused mailing address. Those overlaps are evidence that entities are administered together — the plumbing of common control — and are useful for resolving who is really one actor in the entity graph.

They are deliberately not statements about beneficial ownership. Per the site's evidence discipline, such links are tagged [inference] (a labelled reading of the record), and the graph's roles and edges are leads to verify, not verdicts. The distinction matters most where the plumbing connects the entities assembling a hyperscale data center campus.
