RMFEMercantile Registry Filings (ES)

Filing punctuality + completeness at the Spanish Registro Mercantil for {legal_name}. Toda sociedad española (SA/SL/SLU/SAU) está inscrita en el Registro Mercantil y deposita sus cuentas anuales → returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in Spain. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY: (1) search rmc.es (Registro Mercantil Central) and registradores.org using the company's legal name OR NIF/CIF — the result returns inscripción date, capital social, and the last cuentas anuales deposited (the BORME publishes deposit confirmation). (2) cross-check the BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil) for deposit/nombramiento entries. (3) search the company's own "Relación con Inversores"/"Gobierno Corporativo" page for deposited accounts. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — how close the last cuentas anuales deposit is to the statutory deadline (depósito entro 1 mese from aprobación junta, junta entro 6 mesi from cierre ejercicio = 60-100; late = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — richness of the deposited accounts (cuentas consolidadas + individuales + memoria + informe de gestión + informe de auditoría = 90+, abreviadas only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/al corriente (active=90, en concurso/disuelta=20). Return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" ONLY if the entity is verifiably NOT incorporated in Spain. SUB-SIGNAL OBSERVABILITY (anti-fabrication, MANDATORY): registry EXISTENCE/status is almost always verifiable, but the deposited-accounts CONTENT (filing_punctuality / filing_completeness) is frequently paywalled, fee-gated, or simply not deposited for small/private companies. If you cannot OBSERVE the actual deposit dates or document richness from a CITED source, return that sub-signal as null — do NOT estimate or guess a band from the company's size, sector or country, and do NOT treat a paywalled/undisclosed content sub-signal as "low". registry_status_active must be scored ONLY from a POSITIVE registry hit you cite (the status field visible); if you cannot locate the entity in the national registry at all (ambiguous/non-English legal name, homonym, no hit), do NOT default it to active — return it null. Not-found is NOT active. If NO sub-signal could be observed from any cited source, return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" (a genuine content-absence then resolves to a clean not_applicable, never a fabricated composite).
