Observed 9 September 2026. A bounded comparison of the 2023 incorporation record, the previously read May2025 replacement constitution, and the April2026 Scott change notice. This reduces one ambiguity without pretending to settle the current member register.
The [incorporation filing](http[local research file] expressly adopts the guarantee-company model articles in full (PDF2). Its memorandum lists Dale Benjamin Scott as the sole subscriber (PDF10); the guarantee statement names him alone (PDF8). The initial PSC record already reports at least75% voting rights and the right to appoint/remove a board majority (PDF7). These were not newly invented in the2025 replacement or2026 change notice. Appointment as a director did not itself make every director a member under the old general model; do not count directors as historical members.
Companies House identifies the [applicable model articles](http[local research file] as applying to companies incorporated after28April2013. Article21 requires application and director approval for membership;17 permits director appointment by ordinary resolution or board decision;4 gives members a special-resolution reserve power. Those rules are compatible with an initial sole-member position despite two directors. They do not prove that no additional member was admitted beforeMay2025. The current official reproduction was read, not a separately certified2023 copy.
The previously acquired7May2025 resolution is signed by Scott as voting member and replaces the constitution. New article22 makes directors the only members, with admission automatic on appointment;24.2 gives each member one vote on written resolutions. Wood's PSC notification begins on the same7May date. Together these are concrete evidence consistent with a membership transition. The new constitution does not repeat a named Scott reserve. Current PSC percentages still require reconciliation; they must not be added together or confidently replaced by a50/50 figure.
The [April2026 PSC04](http[local research file] effective27June2025, changes service-address/residence details. Both pages were read. It supplies no new nature-of-control statement, so treating this filing as fresh substantive reaffirmation of Scott's old voting percentage would overstate it. No personal address or birth detail is reproduced here.
The best supported explanation now is historical sole-subscriber control followed by a constitution that connects membership to the board, with the displayed PSC categories not reconciled by the records at hand. Alternative arrangements remain possible. The latest member register, PSC basis and any separate voting/appointment instrument would decide the remaining question. No approach to the company has been made. This branch closes at the public-record breakpoint; it should no longer be presented as unexplained overlapping ownership.
Custody: originals/root-manifest.json retains URLs, bytes and hashes for both PDFs. Root read extracted operative passages in the incorporation filing and visually inspected its memorandum/guarantee pages and both PSC04 pages. The web reader failed on stale redirect/cache; one ordinary GET per observed stable public endpoint succeeded. There was no use of credentials or expired signed tokens. The ten-page incorporation filing incorporates the general model by reference rather than reproducing all its clauses. Further policy acquisition remains with the two independent workers; root does not open another branch before their forest review.
