Which records are the same person?
One name arrives in three spellings, two addresses, and one identity number. Fixed rules match what they can and probability handles the rest, and the record always says which one decided.

Mikoshi answers the three questions that decide a case: who a record belongs to, what has changed since, and who else it connects to. Matching is part fixed rule, part probability, and which one decided a match is always shown.
USE IT WHEN Use Mikoshi when the same person or company appears under several spellings, addresses, or registrations, and you need to know they are one.

Mikoshi / one worked example
Three vendors.
One director.
Three companies bid separately on the same tender. On paper they are unrelated. Matched against the registry, all three name the same director, and one of them shares an address with the officer who approved the award.
That shape is the finding. Mikoshi is what makes it visible without anyone knowing to look for it.

Every line in this example points back to a source. What did this record say before?
A director resigns, an address changes, a shareholding moves. Nothing is overwritten. You can read the record as it stood on the day the contract was signed.
How does this name reach that one?
Ask for the path between a bidder and the officer who approved the award. If one exists you get the chain, with the document behind every step in it.
