What changed in the data, the tools and the site — newest first.

2026-07-12

Coverage re-based. DNS enrichment reached ~231M domains and the provider-change history was decontaminated; every coverage tier was restated on the corrected substrate: 295M+ web-provisioned, 132M+ web-active, 106M+ confirmed-active business domains. Comparisons that straddle this date reflect the re-basing, not market movement — every tool response declares this in data_integrity.
Entity-resolution corrections from an external product review: brand→group ownership fixes (Hoststar and Webland AG correctly attributed to Miss Group), a new alignment check that prevents the tool layer from ever contradicting the validated ownership registry, and actor typing extended with an investor class so capital owners are never ranked as infrastructure operators.
Evidence upgrades. Dossiers now carry a public source link on every acquisition; brand-portfolio records are served separately from M&A events; auto-assembled risks are explicitly labeled model_generated with their evidence pointer; target screening returns a per-stage filter funnel so an empty result explains itself.
Tiered rate limits. Paid tiers get working headroom for multi-tool diligence sessions; the free tier remains conversational-paced. Exact limits per tier are on the access page.

Storefront pricing surface. Weekly in-country price capture (entry vs renewal, the renewal cliff, teaser flags, ex-VAT EUR + PPP normalization) exposed through three tools: aggregate market distribution (free), named package grain (Pro), typed change feed (Analyst). Coverage is a growing tracked subset — a brand absent from pricing tools is untracked, never "has no prices".

Branded charts (chart=true) across seven tools; self-branded display names on every provider key; the canonical definitions glossary tool; intent-neutral intra-group movement and customer-faithfulness tools; the brief series grew to nine, each with an embedded reproduce-it-yourself prompt.

Public launch of the pilot: the intelligence MCP at mcp.hostingbrain.ai, free tier self-serve, paid tiers invite-only, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Weekly data refreshes are routine and not listed individually — every tool response carries its as_of snapshot date.
