What it means

The national register is the authority on whether a company exists; the LEI record reflects what was last reported to the issuing organisation.

Both statuses are quoted in `agreements`, with each register's own wording in `status_detail`.

What to do

Trust the national register on existence. A disagreement usually means the LEI record is stale.
