RFIRegistry Filings (IT)

Filing punctuality + completeness on registroimprese.it for {legal_name}. ANY Italian SpA/Srl/SocCoop is REGISTERED at Camera di Commercio per art. 2188 c.c. — therefore returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in Italy. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY 3-STEP SEARCH (do not bail before step 3 fails): (1) search registroimprese.it/cerca-impresa using the company's legal name OR P.IVA (VAT number) — every Italian SpA/Srl has both. The result page returns a visura camerale with iscrizione date, capitale sociale, last bilancio depositato date. (2) search ufficiocamerale.it OR cerved.com using legal name — these are aggregators of camerale data. (3) search the company's own website for an "Investor Relations" or "Governance" page that links to bilanci depositati PDFs — for listed companies these are mandatory by Borsa Italiana. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — 0-100 from how close the last bilancio depositato date is to the statutory deadline (entro 120gg from FY end for SpA = 60-100 score, oltre 120gg = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — 0-100 from richness of the deposited bilancio (consolidated + individual + Nota Integrativa + Relazione sulla Gestione + Relazione del Collegio Sindacale = 90+, basic only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/iscritta al Registro Imprese (attiva=90, cessata/in liquidazione/cancellata=20). Only return type="absent" with reason="no_company_specific_data" if the company is verifiably NOT incorporated in Italy (e.g. foreign branch only). 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).
