Discover subsidiary and related company names using FDA datasets first, then supplement with external corporate hierarchy sources (SEC EDGAR Exhibit 21 and GLEIF) when available. Costs 2 credits. Returns FDA name candidates, evidence-backed company-record suggestions, EDGAR subsidiaries, GLEIF subsidiaries, existing aliases, and facility coverage stats. The coverage.unlinked_feis count indicates how many facilities may be missing from the current alias set. The workflow is conservative and explainable: it validates candidates against FDA company records instead of auto-linking them. Note: EDGAR and GLEIF may lag recent acquisitions or divestitures, so missing external results do not rule out FDA-visible subsidiaries. Recommended workflow: 1. fda_suggest_subsidiaries, 2. fda_link_subsidiaries for distinct child companies or fda_save_aliases for true same-company variants, 3. fda_manufacturing_risk_summary or fda_search_family_facilities. Related: fda_link_subsidiaries (persist explicit family links), fda_save_aliases (persist same-entity names), fda_manufacturing_risk_summary (family-aware company rollup), fda_search_family_facilities (family-aware FEI search).
