IFFDepósitos registrales (FR)

Filing punctuality + completeness at the French national company registry (Greffe / RCS) for {legal_name}. Toute société française (SA/SAS/SARL/SCA/SE) est immatriculée au RCS et dépose ses comptes annuels → returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in France. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY: (1) search infogreffe.fr and the official gazette bodacc.fr using the company's legal name OR SIREN/SIRET number — the result returns the extrait Kbis with immatriculation date, capital social, and the last comptes annuels deposited date. (2) cross-check data.inpi.fr (RNE — registre national des entreprises), societe.com and insee.fr for SIREN status. (3) search the company's own "Relations Investisseurs"/"Gouvernance" page for deposited accounts. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — how close the last comptes annuels deposit is to the statutory deadline (dépôt entro 1 mois from approval AG, ou 2 mois si dépôt électronique = 60-100; late = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — richness of the deposited accounts (comptes consolidés + comptes sociaux + annexe + rapport de gestion = 90+, basic only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/in regola at RCS (active=90, radiée/en liquidation=20). Return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" ONLY if the entity is verifiably NOT incorporated in France (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).
