IFPDépôts IRN (PT)

Filing punctuality + completeness at the Portuguese IRN (Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado) / Registo Comercial via Portal da Empresa for {legal_name}. Toda sociedade portuguesa (Lda, SA) está inscrita no Registo Comercial e entrega a IES (Informação Empresarial Simplificada) com as contas anuais → returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in Portugal. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY: (1) search irn.justica.gov.pt and the Portal da Empresa (eportugal.gov.pt) using the company's legal name OR NIPC — the result returns matrícula date, status, capital social, and the last IES/contas anuais deposit date. (2) cross-check the publicações online (publicacoes.mj.pt) and reputable aggregators for the IES depositada + estado da sociedade. (3) search the company's own "Relação com Investidores"/"Governo da Sociedade" page for deposited accounts. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — how close the last IES/contas anuais deposit is to the statutory deadline (entrega da IES entro 15 luglio / 7 mesi from fim do exercício = 60-100; late = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — richness of the deposited accounts (contas consolidadas + individuais + anexo + relatório de gestão + certificação legal de contas = 90+, microentidade/pequena only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/em atividade (active/normal=90, dissolvida/insolvência/liquidação=20). Return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" ONLY if the entity is verifiably NOT incorporated in Portugal. 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).
