How are these two connected, and where does it say so?

Type two names. Glasstie searches registers across Europe, every Danish council, contracts, filings and the open web, and returns each link with the page it is on and the sentence that says it. Every quote is checked again at its source, and namesakes are ruled out.

An open Arachne

The EU built Arachne to link the companies that win public money with the people behind them, and only authorities may use it. Glasstie does the same for anyone who checks public spending, with the sentence behind every link.

Who can use it
Public buyers, auditors, journalists and citizens, not only managing authorities.
What it links
Contracts won, board seats, public offices and council decisions, joined into one answer.
How it says it
Neutral words: a tie is where to look, never a finding that anything wrong happened.
What backs it
The page and the sentence for every link, confirmed by a second, independent check.
§ 06
