# People

A profile is one person: who they are, where they've worked, and what they hold.

Canonical: https://chikaraintel.com/docs/concepts/people

## Profile types

Every profile carries one of three types. You can filter searches by type.

| Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `business_owner` | A director, officer or owner of an organisation |
| `investment_advisor` | An individual registered as an investment adviser |
| `broker` | An individual registered as a broker |

## Work history

A profile's work history lists each organisation and role, with start and end dates where known. The entry with no end date is the current role. The same history drives [get_company_people](/docs/mcp/tools/get_company_people), which is why a company's people list includes alumni unless you ask for current staff only.

## Ownership and statements

Ownership lists the stakes a person holds in organisations, as a separate call. Statements are the annotated passages on source articles: what the person said, and what others said about them. See [statements](/docs/concepts/statements).
